Storage and electric heater replacement in Huntingdon
Old storage heaters in Huntingdon homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Bright summers in the East of England mean solar gain through glass is usually the biggest load to design for.
For Huntingdon landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Huntingdon is about 17 miles from Peterborough and falls within our Cambridgeshire coverage. Homes in PE26, PE28 and PE29 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Huntingdon
In the East of England, our guide range for storage and electric heater replacement is £3,845–£11,695 for 3–5 rooms, including VAT. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in the East of England. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. For reference, the Bungalow or house option in Huntingdon (four rooms on one outdoor unit) usually comes to about £5,545–£8,895.
Small flat
Two or three rooms replacing storage heaters.
Bungalow or house
Four rooms on one outdoor unit.
Larger home
Five or more rooms or two outdoor units.
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.
If your home in Huntingdon is replacing fossil fuel or electric heating, and no gas, oil or LPG boiler stays in use, an MCS-certified air-to-air heat pump may qualify for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, which the MCS-certified installer claims and deducts from the price.
The survey
On a survey in Huntingdon 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. We book surveys in Huntingdon at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
