Storage and electric heater replacement in Glasgow
Mild Scottish summers mean cooling matters most in conservatories, lofts and rooms with large windows. Old storage heaters in Glasgow homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement.
For Glasgow landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. We cover Glasgow and the rest of Glasgow and Dunbartonshire, including Bearsden and Clydebank. Homes in G1, G2, G3, G4, G5 and 3 more are all within our coverage.
Prices in Glasgow
Storage and electric heater replacement in Glasgow typically comes in at £3,145–£9,595 for 3–5 rooms including VAT, based on Central and Southern Scotland rates. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in Central and Southern Scotland tend to be. 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. As an example, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) would typically be £4,545–£7,295 here.

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
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. A survey in Glasgow 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.
