Storage and electric heater replacement in Bodmin
For Bodmin landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling.
Flats and bungalows in Bodmin that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. We cover Bodmin as part of Cornwall, roughly 20 miles from Truro. Homes in PL31 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Bodmin
For Bodmin, expect roughly £3,450 to £10,450 for 3–5 rooms, VAT included, adjusted for typical South West England rates. It sits near the middle of UK prices.

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
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
If your home in Bodmin 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
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. The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
