Heat Pump Installation Newton St Cyres: Underfloor Here, Radiators Next Door
Eleven of the 89 Newton St Cyres certificates we read deliver heat through underfloor pipe, the rest through radiators. Heat pump installation Newton St Cyres starts with a room-by-room heat loss survey, and the emitters are sized from that figure.
A great company to work with. Communication was excellent throughout, with quick responses and clear explanations whenever we had questions. The heat pump is almost silent, which was something we were worried about, and the results have been fantastic. We’re lovely and warm and always have plenty of hot water.

What your Newton St Cyres installation includes
Every quote we write for a Newton St Cyres property covers the same list, and none of it is priced back to you as an extra:
- The heat loss survey and design. Room by room measurement first, then a design that names the unit size, the emitter schedule, the flow temperature and the cylinder.
- The unit and the cylinder. A heat pump outdoors picked to suit this house, a pre-plumbed heat pump cylinder indoors, chosen against the baths and showers your household actually runs.
- Emitters matched to the design. Underfloor loops get their flow temperature set against the new figure, and on radiators only the rooms the numbers flag need a larger one.
- Pipework, electrics and the base outside. The unit position is agreed at the free home assessment with the MCS sound calculation, which earns its keep on a plot near the A377.
- Commissioning and optimisation. Weather compensation configured, the flow temperature brought down to the designed figure, and the hot water schedule set to suit the household.
- The grant application. We lodge it and take the award off the price, so it never passes through your bank account.
- Handover and aftercare. Time spent on the controls before we leave, and servicing afterwards from the same people who fitted the system.
Underfloor heating design and installation in Newton St Cyres sits inside that scope too, from one room to a whole ground floor.
Air source heat pump installation Newton St Cyres: what the heat runs through
The village stands on rising ground above the River Creedy, four miles north west of Exeter on the Crediton road.
- Pump Street is narrow, has no pavement, and every dwelling on it is listed.
- The closes on the edge of the village are another century of building entirely.
Both ends of that story showed up in the certificates.
- Eleven of the 89 we read run underfloor pipe, five of those already fed by a heat pump, and the rest run radiators of every age.
- Which one you have sets the flow temperature, and our guide to new radiators for a heat pump explains why.
We work from Exeter Road in Exmouth, forty minutes or so from the Creedy valley, and our MCS certification is on air to water systems.
- James has fitted heat pumps since 2010, past 100 installations, and he audits other firms for NAPIT.
- You can read the full design and install sequence on our air source heat pump installation page.
Why Newton St Cyres homeowners choose us
The A377 runs straight through the middle of the village, and the council’s own appraisal calls that stretch noisy. A heat pump installer Newton St Cyres owners can meet on the plot settles the unit position there. The heat pump company Newton St Cyres homeowners ring afterwards is the one that drew the design.
The owner runs your job.
- Two-man teams do the fitting, and the rest is James: he visits, surveys, designs, commissions, hands over and carries on with aftercare.
- Later, you call him and talk to someone who knows how your Newton St Cyres system was set up, not a call centre. You can meet him on our about page.
He assesses other installers’ work.
- NAPIT contracts James as a freelance MCS assessor, so the standard your system is built to is one he spends part of the year applying to other companies.
Measured, never estimated.
- No kilowatt figure is named until every room has been recorded, and that holds for a thatched cottage and a modern detached alike.
Older and period properties welcome.
- Heat pumps for older properties in Newton St Cyres get the same design work as a new build, and cob under thatch is a design question rather than a refusal.
- Our guide to heat pumps in old houses covers it.
The grant handled, about a week on site.
- The Boiler Upgrade Scheme claim is ours to file, and the award is off the price before any invoice.
- Work starts on a Monday and is commissioned Thursday or Friday, one or two jobs at a time. Heat pump installation in Crediton, three miles along the same road, runs the same way.

Boiler Upgrade Scheme Newton St Cyres: your gas connection sets the figure
Being MCS certified, we make the grant claim ourselves and take it off your quote, so it is never money you pay out and chase back.
Check if your home qualifiesEligibility depends on the property and your circumstances, so not every Newton St Cyres home qualifies.
We confirm yours at the free home assessment before anything is promised.
- Against a mains gas boiler the running cost case is finer than it is against oil, and you hear that from us first.
- Our cost guide has the detail.
Grant figures correct as of September 2026. Eligibility criteria apply and are confirmed at your free home assessment.
-
Boiler Upgrade Scheme money follows the fossil fuel or direct electric system the heat pump replaces.
- The majority of Newton St Cyres certificates we read record a mains gas boiler, and those properties can qualify for £7,500.
- A property on oil or LPG with no mains gas connection can qualify for £9,000, on applications made by 31 March 2027.
- Our guide to the oil and LPG uplift sets out the conditions.
- 31 March 2027 closes the 0% VAT window on qualifying installations.
The kit we fit in Newton St Cyres, and why
For the typical off-grid home the measured heat loss gives the size of unit, and the room figures show which radiators can stay as they are.
We choose the cylinder for your home, as we do the heat pump, and it usually arrives pre-plumbed with its valves and stats fitted.
We fit weather-compensating controls where they add value, and set them up at commissioning.
Underfloor or radiators, the hardware outside is picked for the house, as we are not tied to one maker like big firms are.
Ideal is a frequent choice, and the air source heat pump Newton St Cyres owners settle on usually arrives with its cylinder already plumbed: filter, diverter valve, cylinder stat and overheat cut-out fitted.
4 to 10 kilowatts covers most properties here. Where we fit an Ideal, it is UK-built, so a part needed on a Thursday is rarely a fortnight away.

A 1930s six-bedroom home with 34 windows
The owners doubted a heat pump could heat an older, larger property. A detailed design running at a low 47 degrees, with seven radiators upgraded and the rest kept, proved it could, comfortably.

The job three installers said could not be done
The owners wanted their hot water cylinder relocated to the garage. Three previous companies refused. We redesigned the pipework and did it, on a 311m² home with uninsulated floors.
Newton Abbot
A period home others had written off
We redesigned and re-piped the entire heating system for low-temperature running, and added radiators to rooms that never had them. “Too old” is usually a design problem, not a dead end.
Mid Devon, Exeter and East Devon are all on our list: Newton St Cyres, Crediton, Exeter, Exmouth, Woodbury, Lympstone, Budleigh Salterton, Ottery St Mary, West Hill and Sidmouth.
Street, Somerset: three installers, three different answers. We designed it correctly.
Before calling us, this homeowner had already had two national installers and another company out, and been handed completely conflicting advice, one proposing an oversized 16kW system, another saying the property was not suitable for a heat pump at all. Our room-by-room heat loss survey showed the home was suitable, but nowhere near the 16kW that had been quoted. We sized it correctly, upgraded only the radiators that genuinely needed it, and fitted an Ideal Logic Air matched to the actual heat loss rather than the quote sheet.
Questions Newton St Cyres callers ask first
There is no list price. The figure follows the Newton St Cyres property: its size, the emitters already in place, and the hot water the household draws. A barn conversion on underfloor pipe and a cottage on eight radiators are different jobs. You leave the free home assessment holding a fixed estimate, written down.
Book my free home assessmentIt turns on your own supply rather than on the village. A Newton St Cyres property on oil or LPG with no mains gas connection can qualify for £9,000 under the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, on an application made by 31 March 2027. Other eligible properties here can qualify for £7,500, and we make the claim.
Book my free home assessmentSome rooms might, plenty do not. A heat pump runs at a lower flow temperature than a boiler, so the room-by-room heat loss survey names every Newton St Cyres radiator that has to change, and leaves the rest alone, before anything is ordered.
Book my free home assessmentUsually yes. Eighteen of the twenty listed dwellings in the Newton St Cyres conservation area are recorded with a thatched roof, and cob simply behaves differently to a cavity wall. It changes the design and the emitter schedule, which is exactly what the heat loss survey is for.

Book my free home assessmentThat gets settled on site. The council’s appraisal already records the A377 through Newton St Cyres as noisy in its own right, and we fix the unit position at the free home assessment using the MCS sound calculation. Inside the conservation area, designated in October 1985, we flag what you need to check with Mid Devon District Council.
