Storage and electric heater replacement in Bishopbriggs
For Bishopbriggs landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Mild Scottish summers mean cooling matters most in conservatories, lofts and rooms with large windows.
Old storage heaters in Bishopbriggs homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Our Glasgow and Dunbartonshire coverage takes in Bishopbriggs, about 3 miles from Glasgow. Postcode districts we cover here include G64.

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 Scotland, planning conditions for outdoor units depend on the property type and location; conservation areas and listed buildings need particular care.
The survey
