Storage and electric heater replacement in Southall
For Southall landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. In London, heat soaks into brick and concrete during the day and comes back out at night, which is when it is hardest to sleep.
Flats and bungalows in Southall that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. We cover Southall as part of London, roughly 11 miles from central London. Homes in UB1 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Southall
Storage and electric heater replacement in Southall 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.
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.
Southall 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
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. We book surveys in Southall at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
