From small one-off systems to large-scale installations, our experienced, MCS Accredited, renewable energy team provide professional solutions.
Reduced Heating Costs
A heat pump is an efficient way to heat your home or business in Newton Abbot. It uses electricity to move heat rather than create it like a boiler, which can lower day to day running costs when the system is designed properly for your property.
Make the Most of Your Solar
If you already have solar panels, or plan to install them, a heat pump can help you use more of your own electricity on site. This can improve self consumption and reduce reliance on the grid, especially when combined with smart controls and battery storage.
Grants and Funding Support
If you are considering a heat pump, financial support may be available depending on your property and location. In England and Wales, eligible installs may qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, and wider funding or finance options may also become available through Government backed schemes.
A Smarter, Lower Carbon Upgrade
Heat pumps reduce your reliance on fossil fuels and support a more sustainable approach to heating. For homeowners, it is a practical long term improvement. For businesses, it supports carbon reduction goals and strengthens your environmental credentials.
Why choose a heat pump?
Heat pumps are a popular choice because they provide steady, efficient heating without burning fossil fuels on site.
A well designed heat pump system can help you:
Reduce reliance on gas, oil or LPG
Improve efficiency and comfort
Future proof your heating for a more electric home or business
Work alongside solar PV and battery storage to make better use of renewable electricity
The key to getting the best results is suitability and design. That is why we start with a proper survey.
Air source heat pumps in Newton Abbot
Air source heat pumps extract heat from the outside air and transfer it into your heating system. Even when temperatures drop, they continue to operate, delivering low temperature, consistent heat designed for day to day comfort.
For most properties in and around Newton Abbot, an air source heat pump is the most practical route to low carbon heating, provided the system is sized correctly and the property is suitable.
Heat pumps for homes
A heat pump can be a great option for:
Homes replacing older boilers
Properties currently on oil or LPG
Renovations and upgrades
Households planning solar and battery storage
Homeowners wanting long term efficiency improvements
During your survey, we will assess the current heating setup and talk through what changes may be needed, for example radiator upgrades, cylinder upgrades, or insulation improvements.
Heat pumps for businesses
We also install heat pump systems for commercial properties, including offices, workshops, retail spaces and mixed use premises.
For businesses, the focus is often on:
Reliable heating and hot water
Long term efficiency improvements
Reducing carbon impact
Upgrading systems during refits or maintenance cycles
Integrating heating with wider renewable plans such as solar PV
We can design systems for single premises or larger buildings where a clear plan and phased installation approach is needed.
Is your property suitable for a heat pump?
Most suitability questions come down to heat loss, heating distribution and system design, not just the age of the building.
During a survey, we will look at:
Insulation levels and overall heat loss
Existing radiators or underfloor heating
Hot water requirements and cylinder suitability
Outdoor unit positioning, airflow, access, noise considerations
Electrical supply, consumer unit capacity and safe isolation
Any planning considerations where relevant
If there are upgrades needed to achieve the best performance, we will explain them clearly and build them into a sensible plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme currently offers grants towards eligible heat pump installations. GOV.UK lists the current grant amounts and eligibility route.
Yes, many older homes can work very well with a heat pump, but design is key. We assess heat loss, radiator sizing and system layout to ensure the system is matched to the building.
Yes, and they work very well together. Solar can help offset some of the electricity used by the heat pump, especially when paired with battery storage.
In many cases, yes. Heat pump systems usually require a compatible hot water cylinder as part of the overall system design.
Heat pumps use electricity, but they are highly efficient. Octopus explains that many systems deliver around 3 to 4 units of heat for each unit of electricity used.
Not always. Some properties may need radiator upgrades in certain rooms to deliver comfortable heat efficiently. This is confirmed during survey.
