About Newcastle Heat Pumps
Homeowners across Newcastle use this site to get a free, surveyed and itemised air source heat pump quote from an independent MCS certified local contractor. The £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme application comes with the job, and a straight verdict comes before any selling.
Buying a heat pump is unusually easy to get wrong. Quotes for identical houses vary by thousands because the design decisions, flow temperature, radiator changes, cylinder position, are hidden inside a single figure. A homeowner has no way to compare a well-designed system against a lazy one until winter arrives and the electricity bill does the explaining. This site was set up to move that comparison in front of the sale: measured heat loss, the design temperature stated in writing, emitters listed individually, and a running-cost prediction with its workings shown.
What happens after the form
Give the property type, the current heating and the postcode. One independent local heat pump contractor visits, measures the house room by room, assesses walls, floors, glazing and cylinder space, and returns a written design alongside the price. The same standard applies whether the job is a first installation, a replacement, a hybrid, a service, a grant application or a survey on its own.
What contractors are held to
- MCS certification without exception: the £7,500 grant depends on it, so everything else is secondary.
- Measured heat loss per room to MCS 3005, never a floor-area estimate.
- The design flow temperature on the quote: one number that reveals the quality of the whole design.
- Itemised pricing: unit, cylinder, emitters, pipework, electrics and commissioning as separate lines.
- Straight negative answers: an upper Tyneside flat, a terrace that needs fabric first, a house with nowhere for a cylinder. Said early, in writing.
- Exclusivity of each enquiry: one contractor receives it, and the details go nowhere else.
The company behind the site
Newcastle Heat Pumps is run by 360 Media Works Ltd, a Stockton-on-Tees company founded by Simon Hogben. Every contractor is checked for MCS certification, insurance and references before receiving an enquiry, and contractors pay for the introduction. The homeowner pays nothing for the quote, and the introduction fee never shows up on it.
