Storage and electric heater replacement in Stoke-on-Trent
Away from the coast, West Midlands summers can turn hot quickly, and bedrooms under the roof are the first to suffer. Flats and bungalows in Stoke-on-Trent that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters.
For Stoke-on-Trent landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Stoke-on-Trent is one of the main towns we cover in Staffordshire, alongside Newcastle under Lyme and Burton upon Trent. We cover ST4 and the streets around them.

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.
If your home in Stoke-on-Trent is replacing fossil fuel or electric heating, and no gas, oil or LPG boiler stays in use, an MCS-certified air-to-air heat pump may qualify for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, which the MCS-certified installer claims and deducts from the price.
