Storage and electric heater replacement in Dundee
Flats and bungalows in Dundee that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating.
For Dundee landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. As well as Dundee itself, our Angus and Dundee coverage takes in Arbroath, Brechin and the towns around them. Homes in DD1 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
Scotland has its own permitted development rules for heat pumps and outdoor units, with stricter treatment of listed buildings and conservation areas. We check the current position for your property with you and, if needed, with the council.
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. On a survey in Dundee 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.
