The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a UK government initiative designed to help property owners in England and Wales replace fossil-fuel heating systems (oil, LPG, gas, or direct electric) with low-carbon alternatives. It provides a fixed, upfront grant of £7,500 towards the cost of an air source heat pump.
To be eligible, you must own the property (domestic homeowners, private landlords, and self-builders qualify). Your property must have a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) issued within the last ten years with no outstanding recommendations for cavity wall or loft insulation.
Yes. While Newton is not directly MCS accredited, we work alongside certified MCS umbrella partners and compliance coordinators. We carry out the full technical site survey, physical installation, plumbing, and electrical connections, while our MCS partner handles the formal Ofgem grant portal application and voucher redemption on your behalf.
Not necessarily. Because air source heat pumps operate at lower flow temperatures (around 45°C to 50°C) than gas boilers (around 65°C to 75°C), your radiators need to be large enough to heat each room comfortably. During our site heat-loss survey, we calculate room requirements and identify which radiators can be retained and which need upgrading to larger, double-panel designs.
Yes. We install high-performance, unvented stainless steel hot water cylinders equipped with enlarged internal heat pump coils. This delivers powerful mains-pressure hot water to showers and baths across your home without relying on cold water header tanks.
Rural properties transitioning from heating oil or LPG often achieve substantial fuel bill reductions, particularly when utilising off-peak electricity tariffs. Furthermore, heat pumps eliminate ongoing fuel delivery fees, fluctuating oil prices, and the environmental risks of external fuel storage tanks.

Sam responded promptly to my air con enquiry and even visited me at short notice to firm up the scope. We were fitted in quickly, and Dave managed the job well, with the team carrying out a nice tidy install. Would definitely use again in the future and I will certainly recommend to others.
The engineers were very professional and carried out the required work in a very efficient manner. I'd definitely use them again and recommend then to everyone.
After struggling with underfloor heating that had been left in a broken state by a previous company, my dad endured almost no heating throughout the winter. It was a frustrating and uncomfortable situation until Sam from Newton Electrical and Mechanical came to the rescue. Sam was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He quickly identified the issues, including faulty wiring and broken pumps, and thoroughly cleaned the entire system. Within just two weeks, the system was completely fixed and working perfectly. The level of care, expertise, and efficiency from Newton Electrical and Mechanical was outstanding. I can’t thank them enough for the difference they made. I’d highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable and skilled professionals for their heating or electrical needs.
Went above and beyond and did everything they said they would, on time, as quoted.
We used Newton Electrical and Mechanical for all of our electrical and plumbing work in a large home renovation project and I would thoroughly recommend them. Sam Dave and colleagues have all been knowledgable, reliable, trustworthy and communicative and take pride in completing work to a high standard, a pleasure to work with. As with any large project dealing with multiple trades, some things didn’t quite go to plan, but I found that any issues that Newton Electrical could help with were resolved quickly and without fuss. It’s very hard to find tradespeople you can trust, but if you’re reading this, congrats- you’ve just found some.
Used NEM on 3 large projects in the last 2 years and I would definitely use them again.
