Storage and electric heater replacement in Liskeard
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. Old storage heaters in Liskeard homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement.
Flats and bungalows in Liskeard that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Liskeard lies roughly 29 miles from Truro, and we cover it as part of Cornwall. Coverage includes PL14.
Prices in Liskeard
For Liskeard, expect roughly £3,450 to £10,450 for 3–5 rooms, VAT included, adjusted for typical South West England rates. That is broadly in line with national guide prices. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. As an example, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) would typically be £4,950–£7,950 here.

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.
Liskeard 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
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. We book surveys in Liskeard at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
