Storage and electric heater replacement in Kirkintilloch
In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating. For Kirkintilloch landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements.
Old storage heaters in Kirkintilloch homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Kirkintilloch lies roughly 7 miles from Glasgow, and we cover it as part of Glasgow and Dunbartonshire. Coverage includes G66.
