After the £7,500 grant, most Manchester homeowners pay £500–£7,500. | Property type | Typical installed cost before grant | After £7,500 BUS grant | | --- | --- | --- | | 2-bed terrace or flat | £7,000–£10,000 | £0–£2,500 | | 3-bed semi-detached | £9,000–£13,000 | £1,500–£5,500 | | 4-bed detached | £11,000–£15,000 | £3,500–£7,500 | | Oil-heated home (£9,000 BUS rate) | £11,000–£15,000 | £2,000–£6,000 | Manchester's mix of 31.9% semis, 28.0% terraces and 5.4% detached homes spans the whole table. A new hot water cylinder, radiator upgrades or electrical work are quoted separately after survey. Our heat pump installation page (https://alliantenergy.co.uk/services/heat-pumps) lists every extra. ## Are Manchester homes suitable for a heat pump? Manchester has the most flats and the most renters of any Greater Manchester borough, so the heat pump market here is really two markets. The owner-occupied Victorian and Edwardian terraces and inter-war semis of Didsbury, Chorlton, Withington and Levenshulme suit a monobloc air source heat pump at the rear of the property, while flats usually need a communal or landlord-led solution. Manchester also has the highest count of homes already heated by renewables alone in the city region (400 households in Census 2021). | Housing (Census 2021 / ONS EPC) | Manchester | Greater Manchester | England | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Semi-detached | 31.9% | 37.9% | 31.5% | | Terraced | 28.0% | 28.5% | 23.0% | | Detached | 5.4% | 14.2% | 22.9% | | Flats (purpose-built) | 28.1% | 16.3% | 17.1% | | Heated by mains gas only | 67.0% | 78.1% | 74.0% | | Owner-occupied | 37.2% | 58.0% | 61.3% | | EPC band C or above | 64.0% | — | 53.3% | | Median EPC score | 71 | — | 69 | A good starting point Manchester is above the England average for EPC band C (64.0% vs 53.3%), so more homes here can run a heat pump at low flow temperatures with few radiator changes. Older properties still need a room-by-room heat loss survey. See BUS eligibility for older homes (https://alliantenergy.co.uk/guides/old-property-boiler-upgrade-scheme-eligibility). 28.1% of Manchester homes are purpose-built flats. Individual heat pumps are possible with freeholder consent, and landlords should read our Warm Homes Plan guide for landlords (https://alliantenergy.co.uk/guides/warm-homes-plan-landlords). ### Free heat pump survey in Manchester Heat loss survey, BUS application and Warm Homes eligibility check.
