Storage and electric heater replacement in Wellington
Flats and bungalows in Wellington that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Hot spells in the West Midlands are shorter but intense, especially in loft rooms and rooms with big windows.
Old storage heaters in Wellington homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Wellington lies roughly 3 miles from Telford, and we cover it as part of Shropshire. Postcode districts we cover here include TF1.
Prices in Wellington
For Wellington, expect roughly £3,395 to £10,245 for 3–5 rooms, VAT included, adjusted for typical West Midlands rates. That is broadly in line with national guide prices. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. For reference, the Bungalow or house option in Wellington (four rooms on one outdoor unit) usually comes to 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
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.
Wellington 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. We book surveys in Wellington at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
