Storage and electric heater replacement in Keith
Old storage heaters in Keith homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Here, heat pumps are sized for low winter temperatures and exposed sites.
For Keith landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Keith sits around 16 miles from Elgin, inside our Moray area. That includes the AB55 postcode district.
Prices in Keith
For Keith, expect roughly £3,045 to £9,295 for 3–5 rooms, VAT included, adjusted for typical Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland rates. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in the Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland tend to be. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. On our Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland figures, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) is about £4,395–£7,095.

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
Outdoor units on Scottish homes can often be installed without a planning application, but the conditions differ from England's, so we confirm the rules for your property at survey.
The survey
On a survey in Keith 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. We book surveys in Keith at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
