Storage and electric heater replacement in Felixstowe
Bright summers in the East of England mean solar gain through glass is usually the biggest load to design for. Flats and bungalows in Felixstowe that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters.
Old storage heaters in Felixstowe homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Felixstowe lies roughly 11 miles from Ipswich, and we cover it as part of Suffolk. That includes the IP11 postcode district.
Prices in Felixstowe
Storage and electric heater replacement in Felixstowe typically comes in at £3,845–£11,695 for 3–5 rooms including VAT, based on East of England rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in the East of England. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. As an example, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) would typically be £5,545–£8,895 here.
Small flat
Two or three rooms replacing storage heaters.

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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
Felixstowe is in the Boiler Upgrade Scheme area, so eligible homes replacing oil, gas, LPG or electric heating may be able to get £2,500 off an air-to-air heat pump, as long as no fossil-fuel boiler stays in use. An MCS-certified installer must claim it; we confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
