Storage and electric heater replacement in Rothesay
Wind and salt air in the north of Scotland mean outdoor unit placement and protection need extra thought. For Rothesay landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements.
Flats and bungalows in Rothesay that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Rothesay is part of our Argyll and Bute coverage. Homes in PA20 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.
