Storage and electric heater replacement in Lockerbie
Flats and bungalows in Lockerbie that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Long Scottish heating seasons make efficiency in cold, damp weather the thing to design around.
For Lockerbie landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Lockerbie sits around 11 miles from Dumfries, inside our Dumfries and Galloway area. That includes the DG11 postcode district.

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
Scotland has its own permitted development rules for heat pumps and outdoor units, with stricter treatment of listed buildings and conservation areas. We check the current position for your property with you and, if needed, with the council.
The survey
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. 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.
