Storage and electric heater replacement in Corby
Flats and bungalows in Corby that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. The East Midlands gets warm, dry summer spells, and loft conversions and top-floor bedrooms are where the heat builds.
For Corby landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Our Northamptonshire coverage takes in Corby, about 19 miles from Northampton. Homes in NN17 are all within our coverage.

That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical East Midlands labour rates. What moves a quote in Corby up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed.

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.
Corby 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.

We book surveys in Corby at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. 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.
