Storage and electric heater replacement in Aberdeen
In the Highlands, Islands and the North East of Scotland, systems are sized for cold winter days first. Old storage heaters in Aberdeen homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement.
Flats and bungalows in Aberdeen that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. We cover Aberdeen and the rest of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, including Peterhead and Banchory. Postcode districts we cover here include AB10, AB11, AB12, AB13, AB15 and 3 more.
Prices in Aberdeen
Our Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland guide price for storage and electric heater replacement is £3,045–£9,295 for 3–5 rooms, VAT included. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in the Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland tend to be. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. As an example, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) would typically be £4,395–£7,095 here.
Small flat
Two or three rooms replacing storage heaters.
Bungalow or house
Four rooms on one outdoor unit.

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not cover Scotland; Home Energy Scotland can tell you what support is available.
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
Outdoor units on Scottish homes can often be installed without a planning application, but the conditions differ from England's, so we confirm the rules for your property at survey.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
