Storage and electric heater replacement in Johnstone
For Johnstone landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Mild Scottish summers mean cooling matters most in conservatories, lofts and rooms with large windows.
Flats and bungalows in Johnstone that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Johnstone sits around 3 miles from Paisley, inside our Renfrewshire and Inverclyde area. Postcode districts we cover here include PA5.

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.
