About Teesside Heat Pumps
Teesside homeowners get a surveyed, itemised air source heat pump quote here, free of charge, from an independent MCS certified local contractor. The £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is applied for as part of the job, and the honest verdict comes before the sales pitch.
Heat pumps are the hardest home upgrade in Britain to buy sensibly. Two quotes for the same house can differ by five thousand pounds and neither one shows why, because one designed for 40 degree flow temperatures with three upsized radiators and the other quietly assumed 55 degrees and changed nothing. The homeowner cannot see the difference until the first cold snap arrives and the running cost lands. This site exists to make that difference visible: a real MCS heat loss survey, a written design flow temperature, a radiator schedule, and a predicted running cost with its assumptions on the page.
How it works
Describe the property, how it is heated today and your postcode. Your enquiry goes to one independent local heat pump contractor who visits, measures every room, checks the pipework and the cylinder space, and puts a design and a price in writing. Installation, replacements, hybrids, servicing, BUS grant applications and standalone heat loss surveys are all covered to the same standard.
The standards that matter here
- MCS certification: non-negotiable, because without it the £7,500 grant cannot be claimed at all.
- Room-by-room heat loss: calculated to MCS 3005, never estimated from floor area.
- Design flow temperature in writing: the single number that decides your running cost.
- Itemised quotes: unit, cylinder, emitters, pipework, electrical work and commissioning priced separately.
- A real no when it is a real no: uninsulated solid walls or nowhere for a cylinder means fabric work or a hybrid first, said plainly.
- One enquiry, one contractor: your details are never passed round a ring of firms.
Who runs it
The site is operated by 360 Media Works Ltd, a Stockton-on-Tees company founded by Simon Hogben. Contractors are checked for MCS certification, insurance and references before they receive any enquiry, and they pay for introductions. Homeowners pay nothing, and that fee never appears on your quote.
