Ground Source Heat Pump Installation in Leigh, Wigan

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: the initial cost. We know that installing a ground source heat pump (GSHP) is a big investment. However, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is a total game-changer for Leigh residents. Right now, the government is offering a £7,500 grant to help you make the switch. That’s not a loan you have to pay back; it’s money off the price of your installation.Most of our customers find that once the grant is applied, the long-term savings on energy bills make it a complete no-brainer. Plus, because we’re Gas Safe registered (967977) and fully insured with £10 million in public liability, you can rest easy knowing you're dealing with professionals who handle everything from the paperwork to the final commissioning. Why wait for energy prices to spike again when you can lock in a sustainable solution today?

One of the best things about a ground source system is that it's practically invisible. Unlike air source units, there are no outdoor fans making a hum. Everything happens beneath the surface or tucked away in your plant room. It's a "fit and forget" technology that can last over 25 years. But how efficient is it? In the trade, we talk about SCOP (Seasonal Coefficient of Performance). In plain English, for every 1kW of electricity the pump uses, you can get 4kW of heat back. That’s 400% efficiency.Imagine never having to worry about a boiler breakdown on a Sunday morning. We perform a detailed heat load calculation before we even lift a spade, ensuring the system is perfectly sized for your property. This means you get mains-pressure hot water and consistent warmth without the system breaking a sweat.

You might be thinking, "My garden isn't big enough for a massive trench." Don't worry, we have options for every type of property in Wigan. Depending on your space, we typically look at two methods:Horizontal Ground Loops: If you've got a bit of land or a large garden, we lay pipes in shallow trenches about a metre deep. It's cost-effective and great for rural properties around the outskirts of Leigh.Vertical Boreholes: If space is tight, we go down instead of across. We can drill boreholes up to 150m deep, using thermal grout to ensure the best possible heat transfer. This is perfect for more compact urban plots where you still want the benefits of geothermal energy.We'll handle the geological survey to see what's happening under your grass, so you don't have to guess which system is best.
