Storage and electric heater replacement in Selby
Old storage heaters in Selby homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Cold Yorkshire winters mean sizing for heating first, then checking the summer cooling load.
For Selby landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Selby lies roughly 12 miles from York, and we cover it as part of North Yorkshire. Homes in YO8 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Selby
Guide prices around Selby run from £3,295 to £9,945 for 3–5 rooms including VAT. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in Yorkshire and the Humber tend to be. 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. On our Yorkshire and the Humber figures, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) is about £4,695–£7,545.
Small flat
Two or three rooms replacing storage heaters.

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.
Selby 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 Selby 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. The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
