Storage and electric heater replacement in Selkirk
Old storage heaters in Selkirk homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Mild Scottish summers mean cooling matters most in conservatories, lofts and rooms with large windows.
For Selkirk landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Our Scottish Borders coverage takes in Selkirk, about 5 miles from Galashiels. Postcode districts we cover here include TD7.

That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical Central and Southern Scotland labour rates. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs.

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
Scotland has its own permitted development rules for heat pumps and outdoor units, with stricter treatment of listed buildings and conservation areas. We check the current position for your property with you and, if needed, with the council.
