Storage and electric heater replacement in Tynemouth
For Tynemouth landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. In the North East, sizing for winter heating and then checking summer cooling usually gives the right system.
Old storage heaters in Tynemouth homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Tynemouth lies roughly 8 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne, and we cover it as part of Tyne and Wear. Coverage includes NE30.
Prices in Tynemouth
Storage and electric heater replacement in Tynemouth typically comes in at £3,145–£9,595 for 3–5 rooms including VAT, based on North East England rates. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in North East England tend to be. 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. Typical Bungalow or house work (four rooms on one outdoor unit) lands around £4,545–£7,295 in this area.
Small flat
Two or three rooms replacing storage heaters.

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
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.
Tynemouth 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
Surveys in Tynemouth cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. A survey in Tynemouth 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.
