Storage and electric heater replacement in Kingswood
South West summers are milder on the coast, but sheltered towns and south-facing rooms still overheat, and efficient winter heating matters just as much. Flats and bungalows in Kingswood that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters.
For Kingswood landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Kingswood is about 31 miles from Gloucester and falls within our Gloucestershire coverage. Homes in BS15 and GL12 are all within our coverage.

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
For most houses in Kingswood, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
Kingswood 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
We book surveys in Kingswood at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. Surveys in Kingswood cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
