Storage and electric heater replacement across West Yorkshire
Old storage heaters in Leeds homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. For Leeds landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. In Yorkshire, south-facing lofts and glazed extensions are where summer cooling makes the biggest difference.
Prices in West Yorkshire
In Yorkshire and the Humber, our guide range for storage and electric heater replacement is £3,295–£9,945 for 3–5 rooms, including VAT. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in Yorkshire and the Humber 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. On our Yorkshire and the Humber figures, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) is about £4,695–£7,545.

Two or three rooms replacing storage heaters.

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.
West Yorkshire 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.
