Storage and electric heater replacement in Tyldesley
Damp North West weather makes the dehumidifying mode of a modern split system genuinely useful for much of the year. For Tyldesley landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements.
Old storage heaters in Tyldesley homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Tyldesley sits around 10 miles from Manchester, inside our Greater Manchester area. We cover M29 and the streets around them.
Prices in Tyldesley
In North West England, our guide range for storage and electric heater replacement is £3,295–£9,945 for 3–5 rooms, including VAT. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical North West England labour rates. 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. For reference, the Bungalow or house option in Tyldesley (four rooms on one outdoor unit) usually comes to about £4,695–£7,545.

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
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
If your home in Tyldesley is replacing fossil fuel or electric heating, and no gas, oil or LPG boiler stays in use, an MCS-certified air-to-air heat pump may qualify for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, which the MCS-certified installer claims and deducts from the price.
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. On a survey in Tyldesley the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
