Storage and electric heater replacement in Nottingham
Flats and bungalows in Nottingham that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Summer peaks in the East Midlands make bedrooms under the roof the hardest rooms to keep comfortable.
For Nottingham landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. We cover Nottingham and the rest of Nottinghamshire, including Mansfield and Worksop. Coverage includes NG1, NG3 and NG7.
Prices in Nottingham
In the East Midlands, our guide range for storage and electric heater replacement is £3,295–£10,045 for 3–5 rooms, including VAT. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical East Midlands labour rates. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. For reference, the Bungalow or house option in Nottingham (four rooms on one outdoor unit) usually comes to 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
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.
If your home in Nottingham 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
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 Nottingham 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.
