Storage and electric heater replacement in Stratford-upon-Avon
For Stratford-upon-Avon landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. In the West Midlands, sizing for winter heating first and then checking summer cooling usually gives the best all-year system.
Old storage heaters in Stratford-upon-Avon homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Our Warwickshire coverage takes in Stratford-upon-Avon, about 25 miles from Nuneaton. Postcode districts we cover here include CV37.

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 Stratford-upon-Avon 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.
