Air Source Heat Pumps in Orrell
Being 3 miles west of Wigan and a well-kept residential village sitting right by m6 j26, Orrell has a growing number of homeowners looking at air source as part of a wider retrofit — new radiators, better hot-water cylinder and improved insulation all in one go. Air source in Orrell works well where there's space for the outdoor unit against a side wall or in the garden, and where we can size a hot-water cylinder inside or in a garage.
Orrell FAQs — air source heat pump installation
Do I still need a gas boiler as backup?+
No — a properly sized ASHP provides all heating and hot water. Some customers keep a boiler on standby if they already have one, but it's not required.
Am I eligible for the £7,500 BUS grant?+
Most owner-occupied homes with an EPC in date and no outstanding insulation recommendations qualify. We check this at survey.
Does an air source heat pump work in cold weather?+
Yes — modern units from Daikin, Mitsubishi and Vaillant work well below freezing. They just run a bit longer at low output to hold temperature.
Will my radiators still work?+
Some will, some won't. We survey each room and only change the ones that won't put out enough heat at lower flow temperatures.
Is the outdoor unit noisy?+
Modern units are quieter than a fridge at 1m. We site them to comply with MCS 020 planning noise limits.
