Storage and electric heater replacement in Windsor
Flats and bungalows in Windsor that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first.
For Windsor landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Our Berkshire coverage takes in Windsor, about 16 miles from Reading. Postcode districts we cover here include SL4.

Guide prices around Windsor run from £4,195 to £12,745 for 3–5 rooms including VAT. Prices here sit above the national middle, reflecting South East England labour rates and parking and access costs.

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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
Windsor 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.
