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 Felixstowe quote.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Since 29 May 2025, permitted development in England allows up to two air source heat pumps on a house, each up to 1.5 m³, with no blanket 1 m boundary rule — the installation must still meet the MCS planning standards, including the noise check. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation-area positions need extra consent, which we check at survey.
Heat pump guide prices in Felixstowe
These are guide prices for Suffolk, 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 Felixstowe?
Felixstowe has about 7 hours 45 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 44 minutes at midsummer. That swing matters if you pair a heat pump with solar panels: summer generation can cover much of the hot water, winter generation far less.
Heat pumps in Felixstowe: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Felixstowe that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Felixstowe, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do you cover Harwich as well as Felixstowe?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Harwich, which is about 3 miles south-west of Felixstowe, and across Suffolk.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Felixstowe 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 Felixstowe home.
What size heat pump does a Felixstowe 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 Felixstowe home.
