Storage and electric heater replacement in Nuneaton
Away from the coast, West Midlands summers can turn hot quickly, and bedrooms under the roof are the first to suffer. For Nuneaton landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements.
Flats and bungalows in Nuneaton that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Nuneaton is one of the main towns we cover in Warwickshire, alongside Rugby and Leamington Spa. We cover CV11 and the streets around them.

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 Nuneaton, 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.
If your home in Nuneaton 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 Nuneaton 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. We book surveys in Nuneaton at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
