Storage and electric heater replacement in Alloa
Long Scottish heating seasons make efficiency in cold, damp weather the thing to design around. For Alloa landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements.
Old storage heaters in Alloa homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Alloa sits around 6 miles from Stirling, inside our Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire area. We cover FK10 and the streets around them.

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
In Scotland, planning conditions for outdoor units depend on the property type and location; conservation areas and listed buildings need particular care.
