Storage and electric heater replacement in Northolt
London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset. Old storage heaters in Northolt homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement.
Flats and bungalows in Northolt that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Northolt is about 11 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. We cover UB5 and the streets around them.
Prices in Northolt
In London, our guide range for storage and electric heater replacement is £4,545–£13,795 for 3–5 rooms, including VAT. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. Typical Bungalow or house work (four rooms on one outdoor unit) lands around £6,545–£10,495 in this area.
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.
Northolt 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 Northolt at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. Surveys in Northolt cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
