Storage and electric heater replacement in Godalming
Flats and bungalows in Godalming that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon.
Old storage heaters in Godalming homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Godalming lies roughly 10 miles from Woking, and we cover it as part of Surrey. Postcode districts we cover here include GU7.
Prices in Godalming
For Godalming, expect roughly £4,195 to £12,745 for 3–5 rooms, VAT included, adjusted for typical South East England rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. 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.
Larger home
Five or more rooms or two outdoor units.
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 Godalming 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.
