Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
In England the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027), and since 28 April 2026 a valid EPC is no longer needed. The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Burnham-on-Sea quote.
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.

Short winter days in Burnham-on-Sea and what they mean
Burnham-on-Sea sees roughly 7 hours 52 minutes of daylight in late December against 16 hours 35 minutes in June. Milder southern winters suit heat pumps well, though the system is still sized for a cold snap rather than an average day.
Heat pumps in Burnham-on-Sea: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Burnham-on-Sea house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Burnham-on-Sea home.
Do you cover Weston-super-Mare as well as Burnham-on-Sea?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Weston-super-Mare, which is about 7 miles north of Burnham-on-Sea, and across Somerset.
How long does installation take in Burnham-on-Sea?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Burnham-on-Sea home states the expected time.
What size heat pump does a Burnham-on-Sea 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 Burnham-on-Sea home.
