Storage and electric heater replacement in Burnham-on-Sea
In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling. Old storage heaters in Burnham-on-Sea homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement.
For Burnham-on-Sea landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. We cover Burnham-on-Sea as part of Somerset, roughly 16 miles from Taunton. We cover TA8 and the streets around them.

Prices are shown before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. The £2,500 air-to-air grant applies only to eligible homes in England and Wales, using an MCS-certified heat pump installed by an MCS-certified installer, who applies for the grant and deducts it from the price. We confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
For most houses in Burnham-on-Sea, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
If your home in Burnham-on-Sea is replacing fossil fuel or electric heating, and no gas, oil or LPG boiler stays in use, an MCS-certified air-to-air heat pump may qualify for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, which the MCS-certified installer claims and deducts from the price.
