Heat load surveys and system design in Wigan
In the North West, heating efficiency is often the main benefit, with summer cooling a welcome bonus. Every Wigan quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area.
No two rooms in Wigan gain or lose heat in quite the same way, which is exactly why rooms are measured before sizing. We cover Wigan as part of Greater Manchester, roughly 17 miles from Manchester. That includes the WN1 postcode district.
Prices in Wigan
For Wigan, expect roughly £375 to £1,195 for a standalone design pack, VAT included, adjusted for typical North West England rates. Labour rates in North West England keep this slightly under the national middle. Larger homes, more zones and full drawing sets for a builder are what move a design pack towards the upper figure. For reference, the Design pack option in Wigan (drawings and schedules for one home) usually comes to about £375–£745.

Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey
We book surveys in Wigan at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
