Storage and electric heater replacement across Merseyside
Flats and bungalows in Liverpool that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Old storage heaters in Liverpool homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave.
Prices in Merseyside
Budget around £3,295–£9,945 for 3–5 rooms including VAT for storage and electric heater replacement in and around Merseyside. Labour rates in North West England keep this slightly under the national middle. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. For reference, the Bungalow or house option in Merseyside (four rooms on one outdoor unit) usually comes to about £4,695–£7,545.
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
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 Merseyside 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
We book surveys in Merseyside at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. Surveys in Merseyside cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
