Storage and electric heater replacement in Stirling
For Stirling landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating.
Flats and bungalows in Stirling that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. As well as Stirling itself, our Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire coverage takes in Falkirk, Alloa and the towns around them. Coverage includes FK8.
Prices in Stirling
Guide prices around Stirling run from £3,145 to £9,595 for 3–5 rooms including VAT. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in Central and Southern Scotland tend to be. What moves a quote in Stirling up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed.

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not cover Scotland; Home Energy Scotland can tell you what support is available.
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.
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.
