Storage and electric heater replacement in Litherland
For Litherland landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. In the North West, heating efficiency is often the main benefit, with summer cooling a welcome bonus.
Old storage heaters in Litherland homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Litherland lies roughly 4 miles from Liverpool, and we cover it as part of Merseyside. We cover L21 and the streets around them.
Prices in Litherland
Our North West England guide price for storage and electric heater replacement is £3,295–£9,945 for 3–5 rooms, VAT included. Labour rates in North West England keep this slightly under the national middle. 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. For reference, the Bungalow or house option in Litherland (four rooms on one outdoor unit) usually comes to about £4,695–£7,545.

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
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
If your home in Litherland 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
On a survey in Litherland 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. 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.
