Storage and electric heater replacement in Borehamwood
Long sunny spells in the East of England put conservatories and top-floor rooms under real pressure. Flats and bungalows in Borehamwood that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters.
Old storage heaters in Borehamwood homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Borehamwood sits around 5 miles from Watford, inside our Hertfordshire area. Homes in WD6 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Borehamwood
Storage and electric heater replacement in Borehamwood typically comes in at £3,845–£11,695 for 3–5 rooms including VAT, based on East of England rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in the East of England. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. Typical Bungalow or house work (four rooms on one outdoor unit) lands around £5,545–£8,895 in this area.
Small flat
Two or three rooms replacing storage heaters.

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 Borehamwood, 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.
Borehamwood 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
Surveys in Borehamwood cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. A survey in Borehamwood usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
