Storage and electric heater replacement in Hayes
Old storage heaters in Hayes homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset.
Flats and bungalows in Hayes that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Hayes is about 13 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. Postcode districts we cover here include UB3 and UB8.
Prices in Hayes
Our London guide price for storage and electric heater replacement is £4,545–£13,795 for 3–5 rooms, VAT included. 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. For reference, the Bungalow or house option in Hayes (four rooms on one outdoor unit) usually comes to about £6,545–£10,495.
Small flat
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
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
Hayes 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
We book surveys in Hayes at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. On a survey in Hayes the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
