Storage and electric heater replacement in Chichester
Flats and bungalows in Chichester 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 Chichester landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Chichester sits around 32 miles from Crawley, inside our West Sussex area. Coverage includes PO19.
Prices in Chichester
Guide prices around Chichester run from £4,195 to £12,745 for 3–5 rooms including VAT.

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 Chichester, 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.
Chichester 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.
