Storage and electric heater replacement in Bentley
Across Yorkshire, an air-to-air system is a practical way to replace old electric heaters, with cooling for the hottest spells. For Bentley landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements.
Old storage heaters in Bentley homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Our South Yorkshire coverage takes in Bentley, about 17 miles from Sheffield. Postcode districts we cover here include DN5.
Prices in Bentley
Storage and electric heater replacement in Bentley typically comes in at £3,295–£9,945 for 3–5 rooms including VAT, based on Yorkshire and the Humber rates. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical Yorkshire and the Humber labour rates. What moves a quote in Bentley up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. Typical Bungalow or house work (four rooms on one outdoor unit) lands around £4,695–£7,545 in this area.

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
For most houses in Bentley, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
Bentley 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
Surveys in Bentley cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
