Storage and electric heater replacement in Aviemore
For Aviemore landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Northern Scotland's climate puts the emphasis on reliable, efficient heating, with cooling a minor bonus.
Flats and bungalows in Aviemore that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Our Highland coverage takes in Aviemore, about 25 miles from Inverness. That includes the PH22 postcode district.

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 Scotland, planning conditions for outdoor units depend on the property type and location; conservation areas and listed buildings need particular care.
