Blackpool is in Lancashire, and the nearest towns we also cover include Poulton-le-Fylde and Thornton-Cleveleys. Whether you are replacing a gas, oil or electric system, the design starts with measuring how much heat each room loses on a cold day.

Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Blackpool 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 Blackpool
Guide prices for Blackpool and the rest of Lancashire are shown below, installed and inc VAT. We publish ranges rather than a single figure because design details move the price, and the written quote after survey fixes it.

Designing for Blackpool's winters
Blackpool sees roughly 7 hours 24 minutes of daylight in December and 17 hours 06 minutes in June. With a longer heating season than the south, the gains from low flow temperatures and good controls add up over the year.
Heat pumps in Blackpool: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Blackpool?
Often some, not all. Heat pumps run best at lower water temperatures, so rooms with small radiators may need larger ones. The survey of your Blackpool home gives a room-by-room list.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Blackpool?
A home survey in Blackpool usually takes one to two hours. The surveyor measures every heated room, checks windows, walls and radiators, and looks at where the outdoor unit and cylinder can go.
Do you cover Poulton-le-Fylde as well as Blackpool?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Poulton-le-Fylde, which is about 3 miles north-east of Blackpool, and across Lancashire.
What size heat pump does a Blackpool 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 Blackpool home.
