Storage and electric heater replacement in Kilmarnock
Old storage heaters in Kilmarnock homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Long Scottish heating seasons make efficiency in cold, damp weather the thing to design around.
For Kilmarnock landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Kilmarnock is one of the main towns we cover in Ayrshire, alongside Ayr and Irvine. We cover KA3 and the streets around them.

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
On a survey in Kilmarnock 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. 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.
