Storage and electric heater replacement in Cricklewood
For Cricklewood landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset.
Old storage heaters in Cricklewood homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Cricklewood is about 6 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. That includes the NW2 postcode district.
Prices in Cricklewood
For Cricklewood, expect roughly £4,545 to £13,795 for 3–5 rooms, VAT included, adjusted for typical London rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. As an example, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) would typically be £6,545–£10,495 here.

Two or three rooms replacing storage heaters.

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
For most houses in Cricklewood, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
If your home in Cricklewood 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.
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 Cricklewood 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.
