Storage and electric heater replacement across Lanarkshire
Old storage heaters in Hamilton homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Flats and bungalows in Hamilton that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating.

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
Outdoor units on Scottish homes can often be installed without a planning application, but the conditions differ from England's, so we confirm the rules for your property at survey.
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. The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
