Heat pumps work brilliantly when they’re designed properly. That’s why we became experts.
Phil, the founder of SK, trained as Heat Geek Elite because he wanted to do things properly. That means every system is sized to your home’s actual heat loss, not a catalogue guess. The result is a heat pump that runs quietly, heats well, and costs as little as possible.

About SK
Heat Geek Elite. MCS Certified. Built for the North.
SK Renewables and Heating is based in Washington, Tyne and Wear, and covers Northumberland, County Durham, Tyne and Wear, North Yorkshire, and Cumbria.
Phil has 25 years of experience in heating and renewable energy, with the last five focused entirely on heat pumps. In that time he has designed and installed over 150 systems across the UK, from rural farmhouses coming off oil to modern homes replacing gas. The wider SK team brings the same depth of experience across electrical, plumbing, and building fabric, so every installation is managed properly from start to finish.
Phil holds Heat Geek Elite status, one of the highest independent standards for heat pump design and installation in the UK. Heat Geek Elite training is centred on getting the physics right: proper heat loss calculations, correct flow temperatures, and systems designed to run at their peak efficiency.
The company is also MCS Certified (required for BUS Grant eligibility), Gas Safe Registered, and OFTEC Registered, meaning SK can advise honestly across the full range of heating options: gas, oil, LPG, and renewables.
The Survey
The ZeroDisrupt™ survey
Before any installation, SK carries out a ZeroDisrupt™ heat loss survey. Using AI-powered LiDAR scanning, the survey models your home’s actual heat loss room by room. This determines whether your existing radiators and pipework can stay, which in most cases they can, making the transition stress-free and more affordable.
- No oversized systems that short-cycle and waste energy
- No unnecessary radiator replacements
- Accurate running cost forecasts before you commit
- Systems that perform exactly as quoted
