Storage and electric heater replacement in Chelsea
Flats and bungalows in Chelsea that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Many London homes are flats or tall terraces, where heat rises to the top floor and the bedrooms bear the brunt of a hot spell.
Old storage heaters in Chelsea homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Chelsea lies roughly 2 miles from central London, and we cover it as part of London. Homes in SW3 and SW10 are all within our coverage.

Prices are shown before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. The £2,500 air-to-air grant applies only to eligible homes in England and Wales, using an MCS-certified heat pump installed by an MCS-certified installer, who applies for the grant and deducts it from the price. We confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
If your home in Chelsea is replacing fossil fuel or electric heating, and no gas, oil or LPG boiler stays in use, an MCS-certified air-to-air heat pump may qualify for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, which the MCS-certified installer claims and deducts from the price.

We book surveys in Chelsea at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. Surveys in Chelsea cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
