Air-to-air heat pumps in Liverpool
We size every heat pump in Liverpool for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer. In the North West, heating efficiency is often the main benefit, with summer cooling a welcome bonus.
Ask at your Liverpool survey whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant could apply to your home. Liverpool is one of the main towns we cover in Merseyside, alongside Birkenhead and St Helens. Coverage includes L1, L2, L3, L5, L6 and 3 more.
Prices in Liverpool
Guide prices around Liverpool run from £2,795 to £10,895 for 2–5 rooms including VAT. Labour rates in North West England keep this slightly under the national middle.

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
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
Liverpool 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 Liverpool 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.
