Storage and electric heater replacement in Irvine
For Irvine landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells.
Flats and bungalows in Irvine that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Irvine is about 6 miles from Kilmarnock and falls within our Ayrshire coverage. Postcode districts we cover here include KA12.

For Irvine, expect roughly £3,145 to £9,595 for 3–5 rooms, VAT included, adjusted for typical Central and Southern Scotland rates. Labour rates in Central and Southern Scotland keep this slightly under the national middle.

On our Central and Southern Scotland figures, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) is about £4,545–£7,295.

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
In Scotland, planning conditions for outdoor units depend on the property type and location; conservation areas and listed buildings need particular care.
