Storage and electric heater replacement in Hounslow
For Hounslow landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. The urban heat island effect means London bedrooms can stay uncomfortably warm on summer nights.
Old storage heaters in Hounslow homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Our London coverage takes in Hounslow, about 10 miles from central London. Homes in TW3, TW4 and TW6 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Hounslow
Storage and electric heater replacement in Hounslow 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. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. 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.

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 Hounslow, 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.
Hounslow 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.
