Storage and electric heater replacement in Reigate
Flats and bungalows in Reigate that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first.
For Reigate landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. We cover Reigate as part of Surrey, roughly 16 miles from Woking. Homes in RH2 are all within our coverage.

Storage and electric heater replacement in Reigate typically comes in at £4,195–£12,745 for 3–5 rooms including VAT, based on South East England rates. South East England is one of the dearer parts of the UK for trades, which shows in the range.

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 Reigate, 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.
Reigate 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
A survey in Reigate 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.
