Storage and electric heater replacement in Dagenham
In London, heat soaks into brick and concrete during the day and comes back out at night, which is when it is hardest to sleep. Flats and bungalows in Dagenham that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters.
Old storage heaters in Dagenham homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Dagenham is about 13 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. Coverage includes RM10.
Prices in Dagenham
Guide prices around Dagenham run from £4,545 to £13,795 for 3–5 rooms including VAT. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. As an example, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) would typically be £6,545–£10,495 here.
Small flat
Two or three rooms replacing storage heaters.
Bungalow or house
Four rooms on one outdoor unit.
Larger home
Five or more rooms or two outdoor units.
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
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
If your home in Dagenham 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
A survey in Dagenham 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. We book surveys in Dagenham at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
