Lloyd's Gas & Renewables

Heat pump installation across Manchester and Greater Manchester

Lloyd's Gas & Renewables is a heating specialist based in Manchester that designs and installs air source heat pumps for homes and businesses throughout Greater Manchester. The company presents itself as MCS accredited and Heat Geek certified, and states that it holds membership of the APHC, RECC and IWA. Its stated approach is to build each system from scratch rather than applying a standard package, working from heat loss surveys through hydraulic calculations, radiator sizing and flow rates.

The firm reports more than 100 five-star reviews on Trustpilot, a figure it repeats across its site. It also offers a free, no-obligation consultation and quote, which it describes as without hard selling.

Air source heat pumps and what the company claims for them

The core offer is the air source heat pump, which the company says extracts heat from outside air and converts it into usable energy for the home. In its own presentation of the technology, it states that heat pumps are 400% more efficient than boilers, can save up to 25% on energy bills, can add up to £8,000 to a property's value, can cut carbon footprint by 73% or more, and have an average lifespan of 15 to 20 years. It also says performance holds at external temperatures as low as -20°C. These are the company's stated figures rather than independently verified data.

On funding, the site refers to the Government's BUS scheme and states that £7,500 can be deducted from the total cost of an installation.

Design-led installation and technical scope

According to the company, every installation begins with a heat loss survey and continues through system design covering hydraulics, pipe sizing, emitter sizing and flow rates. It frames these elements as the basis of efficiency and comfort rather than incidental technical detail. The service is described as bespoke to each property and budget, and the company says it handles both residential and commercial heating work.

Beyond heat pumps, the site's navigation lists boilers and underfloor heating among its areas of work, alongside a gallery and a frequently asked questions section.

Certifications and the Heat Geek qualification

The company lists several credentials: MCS accreditation as a government-approved heat pump installer, Heat Geek certification, membership of the APHC as a professional body for plumbing and heating, RECC as a renewable energy consumer code protecting customers, and the IWA as a workmanship guarantee scheme. It also cites an elite system design certification.

It explains the Heat Geek designation as the completion of a demanding heating system design course, and argues that the installer's own competence, rather than the product, is the main driver of system efficiency. The site also notes that energy company OVO has partnered with Heat Geek to offer customers a reduced rate of 15p per kWh and a free upgrade to the Heat Pump Plus add-on for a Heat Geek Assured Installation arranged through them.

Customer accounts

The site reproduces several detailed testimonials. One customer describes a heat loss survey that proved accurate through sub-zero weather and help choosing radiator sizes and styles. Another reports lower energy bills after a spring installation and describes the team as professional and tidy. A further reviewer, identifying as a building services engineer, describes agreeing a system without hydraulic separation and planning radiator replacements, with the installation completed to a high standard. Other accounts mention a Vaillant 7 kW heat pump with a 210-litre cylinder fitted over four days in January, temporary heaters provided while the boiler was removed, and follow-up support after commissioning.
