Why Cramlington matters for renewables and home energy
Cramlington has the highest proportion of post-1960s modern housing of any town in our service area — well over 80% of dwellings are 1960s or later, which is unusual outside the planned new towns of Washington and Newton Aycliffe. The practical consequence: roofs are large, aspects are predominantly south-facing (by design), consumer units are modern, EPC ratings are above the regional average, and almost no conservation constraints apply. Cramlington installs are some of the simplest jobs we do.

Economic context
Cramlington was designated a new town in 1964 and the resulting modern housing stock makes the town one of the easiest places in our service area to install solar, battery and heat pump systems. The town hosts substantial pharmaceutical (MSD), manufacturing and logistics industry on the south Northumberland industrial estates.
Energy context
Falls within Northumberland County Council, target net-zero council 2030. Cramlington’s residential housing is almost entirely on the gas grid, well-insulated, and modern enough that consumer-unit upgrades are rarely needed.

Why AMP in Cramlington
A Northumberland installer that actually picks up the phone
The renewable energy industry is full of sales-led national operations that price aggressively, subcontract to whichever installer is cheapest that week, and disappear when something needs aftercare. We're not that. AMP Renewables is built on a deliberately small geography — the North East — and a deliberately broad service mix — solar, battery, EV, heat pump, boiler, air conditioning — all delivered by our own MCS, NICEIC and Heat Geek certified engineers from Washington.
For a Cramlington customer, that means a few practical things. First, when we design a system, the engineer designing it is one of the people who'll be on your scaffold the day of install — not a salesperson with a tablet. Second, when you have a question six months after install, you're calling the same office that signed the original quote. Third, because we install seven different services rather than just one, we can be honest about which is the right answer for your property — sometimes solar is the right answer, sometimes a boiler swap, sometimes both, and sometimes neither right now.
Our typical Cramlington customer journey is straightforward: free survey within a week of enquiry, fixed-price written quote within 48 hours of survey, install within 2-6 weeks of accepted quote depending on the service (boilers fastest, heat pumps slowest due to grant paperwork). Single point of contact through the entire process. No high-pressure sales calls, no "today only" pricing tricks, no surprises on install day.
Common combinations
Combinations that work especially well in Cramlington
About half our Cramlington customers buy more than one service at a time — usually because the pieces work better together than separately. The combinations that consistently make sense:
Solar + battery
The classic pairing. A 4kW solar system in Cramlington (3,200–3,600 kWh annual generation) without a battery self-consumes only 30-40% of what it generates. Add a 10kWh battery and self-consumption rises to 70-80%, dramatically improving payback. Combined install from £8,999 with a typical 6-9 year payback.
Solar + EV charger
If you drive an EV and have a sunny day, charging from your own solar costs essentially nothing per mile. Smart chargers like the Zappi can be set to "solar-only" mode so the car only charges from surplus generation. For a typical 8,000-10,000 mile-per-year driver in Cramlington, this can cover a meaningful share of annual driving on free fuel.
Solar + battery + EV charger
The full package — and increasingly the standard install for higher-mileage Cramlington customers. Solar generates, battery stores, EV charges. Combined with a time-of-use tariff like Intelligent Octopus Go, total household fuel costs (electricity + petrol/diesel) typically drop by 60-80%.
Heat pump + solar
An air source heat pump uses electricity rather than gas. Pair it with a generously-sized solar array (6kW+) and a meaningful share of your heating runs on your own generation through spring, summer and autumn. The combination also future-proofs against gas price volatility.
Boiler + air conditioning
Where a heat pump isn't the right answer yet (e.g. listed buildings, recent boilers, short-term ownership horizons), a new A-rated boiler paired with reversible air conditioning in problem rooms (south-facing extensions, home offices, master bedrooms) often delivers the right comfort-cost balance.
