Storage and electric heater replacement in Slough
Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus. Old storage heaters in Slough homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement.
For Slough landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Slough is about 17 miles from Reading and falls within our Berkshire coverage. That includes the SL1 postcode district.
Prices in Slough
Our South East England guide price for storage and electric heater replacement is £4,195–£12,745 for 3–5 rooms, VAT included. Prices here sit above the national middle, reflecting South East England labour rates and parking and access costs. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. As an example, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) would typically be £6,045–£9,695 here.
Small flat
Two or three rooms replacing storage heaters.
Bungalow or house
Four rooms on one outdoor unit.

Prices are shown before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. The £2,500 air-to-air grant applies only to eligible homes in England and Wales, using an MCS-certified heat pump installed by an MCS-certified installer, who applies for the grant and deducts it from the price. We confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
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
For most houses in Slough, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
Slough is in the Boiler Upgrade Scheme area, so eligible homes replacing oil, gas, LPG or electric heating may be able to get £2,500 off an air-to-air heat pump, as long as no fossil-fuel boiler stays in use. An MCS-certified installer must claim it; we confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
The survey
We book surveys in Slough at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. Surveys in Slough cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
