As an MCS-certified installer, Greentech Renewables applies for the grant on your behalf and manages the entire process. ### Key Takeaways - The **Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant of £7,500** is available to Stockport households replacing a gas, oil, or LPG boiler with an air source heat pump. - Net cost after BUS grant: **£2,500–£6,500** depending on property size and system specification. - Low-income Stockport households may qualify for **free installation** via the [GMCA Warm Homes Local Grant](/grants/warm-homes-plan). - Modern heat pumps operate efficiently in Stockport's climate, with CoP of **2.5–4.0** even in winter conditions (achieving 2.5–4x the heat energy per unit of electricity consumed). - Combining a heat pump with [solar panels](/solar-panels) cuts running costs by **30–50%** — the most cost-effective home heating configuration available. - Installation takes **2–5 days**. Our in-house MCS-certified engineers handle everything from heat loss survey to DNO notification. - Rated **4.9★ on Trustpilot**. We install [across all Greater Manchester](/air-source-heat-pumps). ## What Does Air Source Heat Pump Installation Cost in Stockport? Air source heat pump installation in Stockport costs £10,000–£14,000 before grants, depending on the property size, existing heating system, and whether new radiators or underfloor heating are required. The [Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS)](https://www.gov.uk/apply-boiler-upgrade-scheme) — a government grant — removes £7,500 from this cost automatically. Greentech Renewables applies for the BUS grant on your behalf as part of the installation process. Property Type Recommended System Full Cost After BUS Grant 2-bed flat/terrace 5–7 kW ASHP £10,000–£11,500 £2,500–£4,000 3-bed semi-detached 7–10 kW ASHP £11,000–£13,000 £3,500–£5,500 4-bed detached 10–14 kW ASHP £12,500–£14,500 £5,000–£7,000 \+ Solar panels 4kW solar + battery \+ £5,000–£8,000 Running cost −30–50% £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant Gov.uk BUS, 2026 CoP 3.0+ efficiency in UK winter Heat pump data, 2025 2–5 days typical installation In-house team 0% VAT on heat pumps HMRC, 2026 ## Do I Qualify for the £7,500 BUS Grant in Stockport? The [Boiler Upgrade Scheme](/boiler-upgrade-scheme-bus) is open to homes in England and Wales — which includes all of Stockport and the SK postcode area. You qualify if: - You are replacing a gas boiler, oil boiler, or LPG system (not an existing heat pump) - Your property has an EPC with no outstanding loft or cavity wall insulation recommendations (or insulation is installed first) - Your property is in England or Wales - You use an [MCS-certified installer](https://mcscertified.com/) like Greentech Renewables Rental properties in Stockport also qualify for the BUS grant. Landlords in Stockport with oil or LPG systems are particularly likely to benefit given the [Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES)](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/warm-homes-plan) tightening to EPC C by 2028. Lower-income Stockport households (income under £36,000 or benefits recipients) should also check [Warm Homes Plan eligibility](/grants/warm-homes-plan-eligibility) — GMCA Local Grants can fund the full installation cost, meaning £0 outlay. ## How Does Air Source Heat Pump Installation Work in Stockport? 1 ### Heat loss survey An MCS-certified engineer visits to conduct a full heat loss calculation for your Stockport property. This determines the correct heat pump size — not doing this correctly is the primary cause of poorly performing systems. Required under MCS standards. 2 ### System design & BUS application We design the optimal system and apply for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme voucher on your behalf. The voucher is applied directly to your installation cost — you never see or handle the grant money. 3 ### Installation (2–5 days) The outdoor unit is positioned and connected via refrigerant pipework to the indoor unit. The system integrates with your radiators or underfloor heating and a new hot water cylinder if required. Our team handles all DNO notifications. 4 ### Commissioning & optimisation The system is commissioned and flow temperatures optimised for efficiency. You receive monitoring system access and a full system handover. MCS documentation is issued for your records and warranty registration. ## How Does an Air Source Heat Pump Perform in Stockport's Climate? Stockport's climate — mild, damp, rarely below -5°C in winter — is well-suited to air source heat pump operation. The average January temperature in Greater Manchester is around 4–5°C, at which modern heat pumps achieve a Coefficient of Performance (CoP) of around 3.0–3.5, meaning they produce 3–3.5 units of heat for every unit of electricity consumed. Even at -10°C, performance CoP stays above 2.0. Outdoor Temperature Typical ASHP CoP Heat Cost (24.67p/kWh electricity) +10°C (mild UK day) 3.5–4.0 6.2–7.0p/kWh heat +4°C (Jan average, Stockport) 3.0–3.5 7.0–8.2p/kWh heat 0°C 2.5–3.0 8.2–9.9p/kWh heat \-10°C 2.0–2.5 9.9–12.3p/kWh heat Compared to a gas boiler at approximately 6.5p/kWh (and rising under the carbon price trajectory), heat pump operating costs in Stockport are competitive — especially when combined with solar panels generating free electricity to run the pump. ### Book Your Free Stockport Heat Pump Survey & Grant Assessment Free heat loss survey · BUS grant application handled for you · Fixed price · 4.9★ Trustpilot [Book Free Survey](/free-quote) [Check Grant Eligibility](/grants/warm-homes-plan-eligibility) ## Frequently Asked Questions — Air Source Heat Pumps in Stockport How much does air source heat pump installation cost in Stockport?

All prices include 0% VAT. Do I qualify for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Stockport? You qualify if you are replacing a fossil fuel boiler (gas, oil, or LPG) in a property in England or Wales (Stockport qualifies), and you have an EPC with no outstanding insulation recommendations. Greentech Renewables checks and handles the BUS application for you. How long does air source heat pump installation take in Stockport? 2–5 days for most Stockport residential properties. This includes positioning the external unit, refrigerant pipework, hot water cylinder installation (if required), radiator connection or underfloor heating integration, commissioning, and handover. Are air source heat pumps effective in Stockport's climate? Yes. Modern heat pumps operate to -25°C and achieve CoP 2.5–4.0 in UK conditions. At Stockport's average January temperature (~4°C), a well-specified system achieves CoP 3.0–3.5. Can I combine an air source heat pump with solar panels in Stockport? Yes — this is the most cost-effective configuration. [Solar panels](/solar-panels) generate free electricity to run the heat pump during the day, cutting running costs by 30–50%. We design combined systems with a single MCS certificate. What size air source heat pump do I need for my Stockport home? A 3-bed Stockport semi typically needs 7–10kW. We carry out a full heat loss calculation (required by MCS standards) before specifying any system — incorrect sizing is the primary cause of poorly performing heat pump installations. What is the running cost of an air source heat pump in Stockport? At 24.67p/kWh electricity and CoP 3.0, effective heat cost is 8.2p/kWh — comparable to current gas. Combined with solar generation, running costs reduce substantially. We provide a personalised cost estimate based on your property specifics. What warranties come with air source heat pump installation in Stockport? 2-year workmanship warranty + 5–7 year manufacturer warranty on the heat pump unit (10 years from some brands) + 1-year cylinder warranty.
