Sunderland's housing stock is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the city centre and river, with large stretches of interwar and post-war semis and estates further out towards Washington and Houghton-le-Spring. Terraces of that age usually need a proper room-by-room heat-loss survey and, in many cases, some radiator upsizing before a heat pump will run efficiently at low flow temperatures. Installers covering the SR postcodes include firms based in the city itself alongside North East specialists working from Washington and Teesside. Most of the city is on mains gas and so falls under the standard £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, with the £9,000 rate reserved for off-gas-grid homes heated by oil or LPG.
