Storage and electric heater replacement in Motherwell
Flats and bungalows in Motherwell that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells.
For Motherwell landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Our Lanarkshire coverage takes in Motherwell, about 2 miles from Hamilton. That includes the ML1 postcode district.

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.
