Common questions by area
Manchester and Salford: flats and freeholders, electric heating, converted mills and warehouses, and who delivers the Warm Homes scheme.
Stockport and Trafford: semis and detached houses on gas, two units on a detached house, and running costs against a gas boiler.
Wigan, Bolton, Oldham, Rochdale, Bury and Tameside: terraces and back yards, heat networks, and the councils that run their own Warm Homes delivery.
Useful details
The borough comes first, since the Warm Homes delivery differs between them. Then the kind of home (a house, a block of flats, a converted building or a flat above a shop), what heats it, and whether you own, rent or let it. If the building is listed or in a conservation area, say so.
Outside our scope
We publish information; we do not visit, quote, fit, recommend installers or handle grant applications. When your question needs one of those, the reply tells you who to contact: an MCS certified installer for a survey, the combined authority or your council for the Warm Homes scheme, and the council's planning team for permission.
