Air Source Heat Pumps for Homes in Wigan

Wigan has a diverse housing stock, including Victorian terraces in the town centre, 1930s semi-detached suburbs, and larger detached homes in areas such as Standish, Ince and Orrell. Each property type presents unique heating characteristics, requiring tailored system design and correct heat pump sizing.

Our air source heat pump installations begin with a detailed technical assessment to ensure efficiency and performance:

  • Room-by-room heat loss survey
  • Radiator sizing and low-temperature flow review
  • Hot water cylinder assessment
  • Electrical supply and consumer unit checks
  • Accurate system sizing based on insulation and heating demand

This tailored approach ensures your heat pump delivers consistent, even warmth throughout Greater Manchester winters while lowering energy usage and carbon emissions.

Why Heat Pumps Work Well in Wigan

Air source heat pumps are particularly well suited to Wigan’s range of property types because they provide continuous, low-temperature heat — ideal as older gas systems reach end-of-life.

  • Efficient Boot for Gas Replacements: Replaces ageing gas boilers with cleaner technology.
  • Good for Terraced and Semi-Detached Homes: Works effectively with correctly designed systems.
  • Reduces Carbon Emissions: Lower household CO₂ output.
  • Steady Indoor Comfort: Consistent warmth through winter.
  • Quiet Operation: Suitable for suburban streets.
  • Solar PV Compatibility: Integrates with rooftop solar for even higher savings.
  • Long Lifespan: Often 15–20+ years with correct servicing.

Replacing Gas & Oil Heating in Wigan

While most Wigan properties use mains gas, some homes on the urban fringe and in rural-facing areas may still rely on oil or LPG systems. Oil and LPG heat costs are volatile and storage-dependent.

Air source heat pumps remove the need for stored fuel and deliver a stable, electrically powered system with predictable running costs and lower emissions long term.

£7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme Grant

The UK Government currently provides a £7,500 grant through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme to support the installation of air source heat pumps.

As an MCS certified installer, we manage the entire process:

  • Eligibility confirmed during your survey
  • Full Ofgem application handled by our team
  • Compliance documentation completed
  • £7,500 deducted directly from your quotation

This ensures a streamlined upgrade with no administrative burden for the homeowner.
