Storage and electric heater replacement in Wick
Northern Scotland's climate puts the emphasis on reliable, efficient heating, with cooling a minor bonus. Old storage heaters in Wick homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement.
For Wick landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. We cover Wick as part of the Highlands, roughly 78 miles from Inverness. We cover KW1 and the streets around them.

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.
The survey
In Wick we often start with photos, room measurements and the make of any existing system, so the survey visit is focused and any travel cost can be quoted in writing first. Where travel is involved, we agree the survey arrangements and any travel cost up front. On the day, the engineer measures the rooms, checks the electrics and agrees the outdoor unit position with you.
