Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Wigston

Wigston housing, and what it needs

Two things decide whether a heat pump runs cheaply here: what the walls are made of, and what the radiators can give back.

The local stock: Wigston has framework-knitting era cottages at its historic centre and a large stock of interwar and postwar semis spreading out from it.
What that means for the design: The interwar and postwar semis are predictable and take to a low flow temperature readily once the radiators have been checked; the older cottages at the centre need more care.
How we price it: The survey comes first and the quote is fixed before any work starts, so any emitter upgrades the design calls for are in the price you agree rather than added later.

Siting and permissions in Wigston

A few things worth settling before the install date rather than on it.

Planning. Oadby & Wigston Borough Council is the planning authority - one of the smallest districts we work in - and most installations proceed under permitted development.
Position and weather. Sheltered Soar valley suburb with no particular exposure issues, which keeps the design margins comfortable.
Fuel and grant. Wigston is on the gas network throughout.
Noise. Every installation gets an MCS 020 sound assessment, which is what the permitted development route depends on — we do it at survey stage, not afterwards.

How long does an installation in Wigston take? +

Most domestic installations take two to four days on site, depending on how much radiator and cylinder work the design calls for. You will know which before you commit, because the survey and the fixed quote come first, and the dates are agreed with you rather than assigned.

Will my existing radiators still work in Wigston? +

Often, yes — but not always, and that is what the survey settles. A heat pump runs at a lower flow temperature than a boiler, so some rooms need a larger emitter to give the same heat. Any changes the design calls for are in the fixed quote, not added afterwards.
