Storage and electric heater replacement in Greenwich
London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset. Old storage heaters in Greenwich homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement.
For Greenwich landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. We cover Greenwich as part of London, roughly 5 miles from central London. Coverage includes SE10.
Prices in Greenwich
Storage and electric heater replacement in Greenwich typically comes in at £4,545–£13,795 for 3–5 rooms including VAT, based on London rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. What moves a quote in Greenwich up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. On our London figures, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) is about £6,545–£10,495.
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.
Greenwich is in the Boiler Upgrade Scheme area, so eligible homes replacing oil, gas, LPG or electric heating may be able to get £2,500 off an air-to-air heat pump, as long as no fossil-fuel boiler stays in use. An MCS-certified installer must claim it; we confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
The survey
Surveys in Greenwich cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. A survey in Greenwich 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.
