Killingworth in North Tyneside is really two places in one: the planned new town built around its lake and shopping centre from the late 1960s, and the ring of older colliery villages that surround it – Backworth, Burradon, Dudley, Camperdown, East Holywell and West Holywell, plus Killingworth Village itself, which pre-dates the new town by centuries. That mix of modern cavity-wall semis, 1970s system-built homes and older stone and brick cottages means no two heat pump jobs here look quite the same.
Heat Pump Installation in Killingworth
The new town's estates were built to a consistent standard, which usually makes sizing and siting an air source heat pump straightforward – there's often a spot on the gable end or in the back garden that works well without much fuss. In the older villages like Annitsford and Burradon, terraced and semi-detached ex-colliery housing needs a bit more thought on pipe runs and radiator upgrades, and we take the time to get that right before anyone commits to a system.
Why Killingworth Homes Are Switching to Heat Pumps
Whether it's a family replacing an ageing gas boiler in Killingworth Village or a household near the lake looking to cut running costs on a newer build, we get asked similar questions across the estate: will it keep the house warm in January, and will it fit with the existing radiators. We talk homeowners through both before recommending anything, rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all system.
Annual Heat Pump Servicing in Killingworth
