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

- Good for Terraced and Semi-Detached Homes: Works effectively with correctly designed systems.
- Reduces Carbon Emissions: Lower household CO₂ output.

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

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