Storage and electric heater replacement across the East Riding of Yorkshire
For Hull landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Old storage heaters in Hull homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. In Yorkshire, south-facing lofts and glazed extensions are where summer cooling makes the biggest difference.
Prices in the East Riding of Yorkshire
For the East Riding of Yorkshire, expect roughly £3,295 to £9,945 for 3–5 rooms, VAT included, adjusted for typical Yorkshire and the Humber rates. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in Yorkshire and the Humber tend to be. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. On our Yorkshire and the Humber figures, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) is about £4,695–£7,545.

Two or three rooms replacing storage heaters.

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
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The East Riding of Yorkshire 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
A survey in the East Riding of Yorkshire 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. 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.
