Storage and electric heater replacement in Wishaw
For Wishaw landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Long Scottish heating seasons make efficiency in cold, damp weather the thing to design around.
Flats and bungalows in Wishaw that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. We cover Wishaw as part of Lanarkshire, roughly 5 miles from Hamilton. That includes the ML2 postcode district.

In Central and Southern Scotland, our guide range for storage and electric heater replacement is £3,145–£9,595 for 3–5 rooms, including VAT. Labour rates in Central and Southern Scotland keep this slightly under the national middle. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. As an example, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) would typically be £4,545–£7,295 here.

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
A survey in Wishaw 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. 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.
