Storage and electric heater replacement in Mitcham
London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset. For Mitcham landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements.
Old storage heaters in Mitcham homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Mitcham is about 7 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. Homes in CR4 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Mitcham
Storage and electric heater replacement in Mitcham typically comes in at £4,545–£13,795 for 3–5 rooms including VAT, based on London rates. London is one of the dearer parts of the UK for trades, which shows in the range. 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.

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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
If your home in Mitcham 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
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. On a survey in Mitcham 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.
