Storage and electric heater replacement in Eastleigh
Flats and bungalows in Eastleigh that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus.
Old storage heaters in Eastleigh homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Eastleigh sits around 5 miles from Southampton, inside our Hampshire area. That includes the SO50 postcode district.

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 Eastleigh, 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.
Eastleigh 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 Eastleigh at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. Surveys in Eastleigh cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
