- Tank capacity A small unit for two people costs less than one sized for a family of five.
- Where it goes Swapping a tank at ground level is simpler than moving one from a tight side path or a high stand.
- The pipes it joins Rusted galvanised pipe that needs replacing adds time to the day.
- When we come An after-hours booking is charged at a different rate.
Houses That Take This Swap Well

What Customers Say
[The plumber] & his young helper were courteous, well mannered & competent when replacing the solar hot water station pump at my property
When We're Not the Right Call
Some heat pumps need a dedicated circuit, and a switchboard that can't supply one needs a licensed electrician before we install. We raise it when we quote, so you are not left with a unit the house can't power yet.
Questions From Local Households
Is a heat pump a good swap for an old electric tank in Gateshead?
For a typical household, yes. With no frost days on record, the unit works efficiently all year and draws far less electricity than an old storage element. We match the size to the people in the house, so a small home doesn't pay for capacity it won't use.
Do heat pump systems work through a Gateshead winter?
They do. The climate is mild and frost-free, so the unit has no ice to deal with and keeps heating through the coldest weeks. Placement matters more than temperature, so we choose a position with open air around it when we quote.
Can you fit a heat pump in place of the tank at a commission-era cottage?
Yes. The original steel services on the Gateshead West estate can choke the flow, so we check the pressure and pipe condition as part of the quote and replace any length that would hold the new unit back.
Do you take the old tank away when you install the new one?
Yes. Draining, disconnecting and carting away the old unit is in the quote along with fitting the heat pump and new pipework. Nothing is added later, and our 365-day warranty on all work covers it.
