Air source heat pump installation for Bedlington homes
Homes around Bedlington range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Installers working in Bedlington plan the order of work so heating and hot water are off for as short a time as practical. For older properties in Bedlington, the heat loss calculation looks closely at solid walls, single glazing and draughts before any unit is sized.
We survey your home, design a heat pump system around its real heat loss, and manage the installation from the first visit to the MCS certificate.
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
- Owners and landlords in England and Wales eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
What's included
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
Many homes in Bedlington have a side passage or rear garden with room for an outdoor unit, and the survey checks airflow and distance from neighbouring windows.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
In England the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027), and since 28 April 2026 a valid EPC is no longer needed. The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Bedlington quote.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Since 29 May 2025, permitted development in England allows up to two air source heat pumps on a house, each up to 1.5 m³, with no blanket 1 m boundary rule — the installation must still meet the MCS planning standards, including the noise check. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation-area positions need extra consent, which we check at survey.
Guide prices for air source heat pump installation in Bedlington
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in Northumberland, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Bedlington can need quite different radiators and pipework.

Air source heat pump installation in Bedlington: questions
Do you cover Cramlington as well as Bedlington?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Cramlington, which is about 3 miles south of Bedlington, and across Northumberland.
How soon can you survey a home in Bedlington?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Northumberland. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How long does installation take in Bedlington?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Bedlington home states the expected time.
Can I cancel after accepting the quote?
Nothing is ordered until you accept the written quote. Where the contract is agreed away from our premises, for example at your kitchen table, you can cancel within 14 days under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. If you ask us to start sooner and then cancel, you pay only for work done up to that point.
What grants can I get for a heat pump?
It depends on where you live. In England and Wales the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water heat pump, which the installer claims and deducts from your quote. In Scotland, Home Energy Scotland offers a grant of up to £7,500, with up to £1,500 more for eligible rural and island homes, but you need a written funding offer before work starts. Northern Ireland has no dedicated homeowner heat pump grant at present.
