Storage and electric heater replacement in Tiverton
Flats and bungalows in Tiverton that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling.
For Tiverton landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. We cover Tiverton as part of Devon, roughly 46 miles from Plymouth. Coverage includes EX16.
Prices in Tiverton
Storage and electric heater replacement in Tiverton typically comes in at £3,450–£10,450 for 3–5 rooms including VAT, based on South West England rates. That is close to the UK middle for this kind of work. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. Typical Bungalow or house work (four rooms on one outdoor unit) lands around £4,950–£7,950 in this area.

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 Tiverton, 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.
Tiverton 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 Tiverton at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. A survey in Tiverton usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
