Heat Pump Installers Wigan

Why choose an air source heat pump?

Switching to renewable heating isn't just about being eco-friendly (though that’s a huge bonus)—it’s about safeguarding your wallet against volatile energy prices.

Slash your energy bills Our air source heat pump installers in Wigan are busy for a reason: the efficiency is unbeatable. These systems can turn one unit of electricity into three or four units of heat. That is an efficiency rating of 300-400%, compared to a gas boiler which tops out at around 90%. Over time, this difference keeps money in your pocket.
Lower your carbon footprint Stop burning fossil fuels and start using the ambient energy that is already in the air around us. It’s a direct way to reduce your carbon emissions and help clean the Wigan air.
£7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) The government is currently offering a heat pump grant of £7,500 to encourage homeowners to ditch their boilers. That is a significant chunk of change that goes directly towards your heat pump installation. We can help you access this funding to make the switch more affordable.
Reliable in Northern winters We know it gets chilly up here. Thankfully, modern heat pumps are designed for exactly that. They work efficiently even when the temperature outside drops to -20°C. So, even if the canal is freezing over, your living room will be toasty warm.
Quiet & unobtrusive Worried about noise? Don't be. Modern units are designed to be whisper-quiet, often making less noise than a standard fridge. Your peace and quiet are safe with us.

The "Heat Geek" difference

We aren't just your average heat pump installers; we are proud "Heat Geeks."

This isn't just a catchy name—it's a promise of quality. To be a Heat Geek, we have undergone intensive, specialised training in heating system design. Most installers can fit a box to a wall, but we engineer the entire system.

We understand the physics of water flow, pipe diameter, and heat loss. We design your system to run "low and slow," which is the secret to getting those massive efficiency numbers. A badly installed heat pump can be expensive to run; a Heat Geek installed system is optimised to save you every penny possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I need to change my radiators or any other aspects of my plumbing and heating when I switch to renewable energy systems?

It's unlikely. In some instances, we might need to upgrade some of your existing radiators to "Type 21" or "Type 22" models, which are slightly thicker and provide more surface area, allowing the room to heat up efficiently without needing scorching hot water.

How disruptive is the installation process?

We aim to keep disruption to an absolute minimum. A typical heat pump installation takes between 2 to 5 days. We treat your home with respect, keeping things tidy and ensuring you aren't left without heating for long periods.

Can air source heat pumps be used with underfloor heating and solar panels?

Yes, air source heat pumps can work seamlessly with both underfloor heating and solar panels, creating an incredibly efficient and eco-friendly heating system for your home.

Underfloor Heating: Air source heat pumps are a perfect match for underfloor heating because both operate efficiently at lower temperatures. This combination provides consistent, even warmth throughout your home while keeping energy usage low.

Solar Panels: Pairing an air source heat pump with solar panels allows you to power your heating system with renewable electricity generated on-site. This setup can significantly reduce your energy bills and carbon footprint, making it a smart choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.

By integrating these technologies, you can create a sustainable, cost-effective heating solution tailored to your home.

At Lloyd's Gas, we specialise in designing systems that maximise efficiency and comfort—let us help you make the most of your renewable energy options!

Can I still get the grant if I live in an older property?

Yes, age isn't the deciding factor—insulation is. To qualify for the heat pump grants, your home needs to have a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) with no outstanding recommendations for loft or cavity wall insulation. If your insulation is up to scratch, your older Wigan home is likely eligible.

What happens if the temperature drops below freezing?

Your heat pump keeps working! It might sound like magic, but there is heat energy in the air even at very low temperatures. The refrigerant in the system boils at extremely low temperatures, allowing it to extract warmth from the air even on the coldest winter nights.
