Storage and electric heater replacement in Blantyre
Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells. Flats and bungalows in Blantyre that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters.
Old storage heaters in Blantyre homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Blantyre sits around 3 miles from Hamilton, inside our Lanarkshire area. Coverage includes G71 and G72.

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
