Storage and electric heater replacement in Bridgnorth
Hot spells in the West Midlands are shorter but intense, especially in loft rooms and rooms with big windows. For Bridgnorth landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements.
Flats and bungalows in Bridgnorth that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Bridgnorth is about 10 miles from Telford and falls within our Shropshire coverage. We cover WV16 and the streets around them.
Prices in Bridgnorth
Our West Midlands guide price for storage and electric heater replacement is £3,395–£10,245 for 3–5 rooms, VAT included. That is broadly in line with national guide prices. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. On our West Midlands figures, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) is about £4,845–£7,795.

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.
Bridgnorth 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.
