Storage and electric heater replacement in Fraserburgh
Wind and salt air in the north of Scotland mean outdoor unit placement and protection need extra thought. Old storage heaters in Fraserburgh homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement.
For Fraserburgh landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. We cover Fraserburgh as part of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, roughly 38 miles from Aberdeen. Homes in AB43 are all within our coverage.

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
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. On a survey in Fraserburgh the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
