Storage and electric heater replacement in Broadstairs
Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus. For Broadstairs landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements.
Old storage heaters in Broadstairs homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Our Kent coverage takes in Broadstairs, about 40 miles from Maidstone. That includes the CT10 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 Broadstairs, 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.
Broadstairs 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
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. Surveys in Broadstairs cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
