Air source heat pump installers in Wigan
Published and last updated 15 October 2026
Homeowners in Wigan can get £7,500 off an air source heat pump through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, or £9,000 if the home is off the gas grid and heated by oil or LPG, as long as an MCS-certified installer fits it. We match Wigan homes with up to three MCS-certified installers covering WN postcodes so you can compare quotes.
How much is the heat pump grant in Wigan?
The grant in Wigan is the same as anywhere in England: £7,500 for an air-to-water heat pump, £9,000 for eligible off-gas homes until 31 March 2027, and £2,500 for air-to-air.
Most Wigan homes are on mains gas and qualify for £7,500; rural properties without mains gas that heat with oil or LPG may qualify for £9,000.
Do homes in Wigan suit a heat pump?
Wigan's terraces in Pemberton, Ince and Hindley and semis in Standish and Orrell can all take heat pumps; the heat loss survey decides the unit size and any radiator changes.
