Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Seaford can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which takes £7,500 off the cost of an air source heat pump when it replaces fossil-fuel or electric heating. Replacing oil or LPG heating qualifies for £9,000 for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and air-to-air systems for £2,500. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies for the grant and deducts it from the price.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK until 31 March 2027. In England most houses can have an air source heat pump under permitted development, provided the unit meets the MCS noise and siting standards; the old 1 m boundary limit was removed on 29 May 2025. We flag listed buildings, flats and sensitive conservation-area positions at survey.
Heat pump guide prices in Seaford
These are guide prices for East Sussex, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.

How long is the heating season in Seaford?
On the shortest day Seaford gets about 7 hours 57 minutes of daylight, and the winter sun reaches only around 16° above the horizon at noon. Winters this far south are milder than in most of the UK, which helps a heat pump run at low flow temperatures for much of the season.
Heat pumps in Seaford: questions
What size heat pump does a Seaford home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Seaford home.
How soon can you survey a home in Seaford?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in East Sussex. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Newhaven as well as Seaford?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Newhaven, which is about 3 miles north-west of Seaford, and across East Sussex.
Can you service a heat pump in Seaford that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Seaford, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
