Storage and electric heater replacement in Aldershot
Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus. For Aldershot landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements.
Old storage heaters in Aldershot homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Aldershot sits around 10 miles from Woking, inside our Surrey area. Homes in GU12 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Aldershot
Budget around £4,195–£12,745 for 3–5 rooms including VAT for storage and electric heater replacement in and around Aldershot. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. What moves a quote in Aldershot up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. As an example, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) would typically be £6,045–£9,695 here.
Small flat
Two or three rooms replacing storage heaters.
Bungalow or house
Four rooms on one outdoor unit.

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 Aldershot, 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.
Aldershot 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
We book surveys in Aldershot at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. On a survey in Aldershot the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
