Storage and electric heater replacement in Daventry
The East Midlands gets warm, dry summer spells, and loft conversions and top-floor bedrooms are where the heat builds. Flats and bungalows in Daventry that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters.
Old storage heaters in Daventry homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. We cover Daventry as part of Northamptonshire, roughly 12 miles from Northampton. Homes in NN11 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Daventry
Our East Midlands guide price for storage and electric heater replacement is £3,295–£10,045 for 3–5 rooms, VAT included. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical East Midlands labour rates. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. On our East Midlands figures, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) is about £4,745–£7,645.
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
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
Daventry 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
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. On a survey in Daventry 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.
