Storage and electric heater replacement in Tamworth
Flats and bungalows in Tamworth that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Away from the coast, West Midlands summers can turn hot quickly, and bedrooms under the roof are the first to suffer.
For Tamworth landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. We cover Tamworth as part of Staffordshire, roughly 33 miles from Stoke-on-Trent. Homes in B79 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Tamworth
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. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. As an example, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) would typically be £4,845–£7,795 here.
Small flat
Two or three rooms replacing storage heaters.

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 Tamworth, 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.
If your home in Tamworth 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.
The survey
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. 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.
