Survey-led heat pump installation for Manchester
Local service, done properly
Northline Heat Pumps provides survey-led heat pump installation and retrofit support for homes across Manchester and Greater Manchester. We focus on the parts that make the difference long after the installers have left: accurate heat-loss sizing, practical system design, careful commissioning, and clear handover so you know how to run your system comfortably. Surveyed, sized, and explained before we fit anything.
We'll show you the numbers, the options, and the compromises—then let you decide.

Service areas
From initial survey to system handover and beyond, we cover every part of the process.
How the process typically runs
We take you through a clear, step-by-step approach from initial assessment to a fully commissioned system. Each stage is designed to ensure the heat pump fits your home's needs and delivers reliable, efficient heating.
-
Step 1 Survey
We gather measurements and system details, then agree what matters most to you: comfort, running costs, disruption, or all three. This calm walkthrough helps us understand your property and identify practical constraints before any work begins.
-
Step 2 Design
We size the system, check emitters such as radiators or underfloor heating, plan hot water, and map the practical install route so there are no surprises. The result is a clear equipment specification matched to your home.
-
Step 3 Install
We fit the equipment, connect electrics and plumbing, and keep the worksite tidy and safe. Our focus is on careful, methodical installation that respects your home and daily routine.
-
Step 4 Commission
We configure controls, verify performance, explain how to run the system, and leave you with a simple operating guide. This final step ensures comfort and efficiency are built in from day one.
