Storage and electric heater replacement in Hamilton
Old storage heaters in Hamilton homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells.
For Hamilton landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. As well as Hamilton itself, our Lanarkshire coverage takes in East Kilbride, Cumbernauld and the towns around them. Postcode districts we cover here include ML3.

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
Scotland has its own permitted development rules for heat pumps and outdoor units, with stricter treatment of listed buildings and conservation areas. We check the current position for your property with you and, if needed, with the council.
The survey
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. A survey in Hamilton usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
