Air-to-air heat pumps in Ellesmere Port
Damp North West weather makes the dehumidifying mode of a modern split system genuinely useful for much of the year. Ask at your Ellesmere Port survey whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant could apply to your home.
We size every heat pump in Ellesmere Port for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer. Ellesmere Port lies roughly 15 miles from Warrington, and we cover it as part of Cheshire. Coverage includes CH65 and CH66.
Prices in Ellesmere Port

Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs.

Prices are shown before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. The £2,500 air-to-air grant applies only to eligible homes in England and Wales, using an MCS-certified heat pump installed by an MCS-certified installer, who applies for the grant and deducts it from the price. We confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
For most houses in Ellesmere Port, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
Ellesmere Port is in the Boiler Upgrade Scheme area, so eligible homes replacing oil, gas, LPG or electric heating may be able to get £2,500 off an air-to-air heat pump, as long as no fossil-fuel boiler stays in use. An MCS-certified installer must claim it; we confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
The survey
On a survey in Ellesmere Port the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows. The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
