Storage and electric heater replacement in Farnborough
Old storage heaters in Farnborough homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon.
Flats and bungalows in Farnborough that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Farnborough sits around 39 miles from Southampton, inside our Hampshire area. Coverage includes GU11.
Prices in Farnborough
For Farnborough, expect roughly £4,195 to £12,745 for 3–5 rooms, VAT included, adjusted for typical South East England rates.

Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. As an example, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) would typically be £6,045–£9,695 here.

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
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
If your home in Farnborough 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.
