If you're a social tenant

​

The Warm Homes Manchester programme can't install air source heat pumps into individual socially rented properties. However, if you don't currently have a heat pump then please ask your landlord to get in touch with us at info@warmhomesmanchester.org.uk or 0800 107 8575 as we may be able to work with them directly to assist you.

​

*Installation of a free air source heat pump is subject to a number of further eligibility checks and a site survey or technical feasibility assessment.​

 

If you're not eligible through the criteria above, you may still qualify through ECO4 flexible eligibility. You could meet the criteria through one of the routes below:

​

• Household combined income: Households living in a SAP band rated D, E, F or G home, with a combined gross income from all sources under £31,000.

​
