Storage and electric heater replacement in Wembley
The urban heat island effect means London bedrooms can stay uncomfortably warm on summer nights. Flats and bungalows in Wembley that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters.
For Wembley landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. We cover Wembley as part of London, roughly 8 miles from central London. Homes in HA0 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Wembley
Our London guide price for storage and electric heater replacement is £4,545–£13,795 for 3–5 rooms, VAT included. Prices here sit above the national middle, reflecting London labour rates and parking and access costs. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. Typical Bungalow or house work (four rooms on one outdoor unit) lands around £6,545–£10,495 in this area.

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.
Wembley 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
A survey in Wembley usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. We book surveys in Wembley at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
