Air source heat pump installation for Tynemouth homes
In Tynemouth, as anywhere in the UK, the heat pumps that perform well are the ones designed around low flow temperatures and sized from a proper heat loss calculation.
For older properties in Tynemouth, the heat loss calculation looks closely at solid walls, single glazing and draughts before any unit is sized. Terraced streets in Tynemouth often mean a compact unit position at the rear, so siting and sound levels are checked carefully.
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.
- Owners and landlords in England and Wales eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
What's included
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
Many homes in Tynemouth 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 Tynemouth quote.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK until 31 March 2027. In England most houses can have an air source heat pump under permitted development, provided the unit meets the MCS noise and siting standards; the old 1 m boundary limit was removed on 29 May 2025. We flag listed buildings, flats and sensitive conservation-area positions at survey.

How long is the heating season in Tynemouth?
On the shortest day Tynemouth gets only about 7 hours 10 minutes of daylight and the noon sun sits around 12° above the horizon. Northern winters tend to be longer, so a well-designed, efficient system matters more here because it runs for more of the year.

Air source heat pump installation in Tynemouth: questions
Do you cover South Shields as well as Tynemouth?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in South Shields, which is about a mile south of Tynemouth, and across Tyne and Wear.
How soon can you survey a home in Tynemouth?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Tyne and Wear. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Can you service a heat pump in Tynemouth that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Tynemouth, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
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.
How long does an air source heat pump installation take?
A typical home installation takes 2–4 days on site. It takes longer if several radiators are being replaced, pipework is being upgraded or the cylinder is going in a new location. Your quote sets out the expected programme, including when you will be without heating and hot water. Timings are typical rather than fixed, because older homes sometimes reveal surprises once floorboards are lifted.
