Storage and electric heater replacement in Horley
Old storage heaters in Horley homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon.
For Horley landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Horley is about 20 miles from Woking and falls within our Surrey coverage. Postcode districts we cover here include RH6.
Prices in Horley
Guide prices around Horley run from £4,195 to £12,745 for 3–5 rooms including VAT. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. What moves a quote in Horley up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. For reference, the Bungalow or house option in Horley (four rooms on one outdoor unit) usually comes to about £6,045–£9,695.

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
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
If your home in Horley 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
A survey in Horley usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. 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.
