Storage and electric heater replacement in Brighouse
Flats and bungalows in Brighouse that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Cold Yorkshire winters mean sizing for heating first, then checking the summer cooling load.
Old storage heaters in Brighouse homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. We cover Brighouse as part of West Yorkshire, roughly 12 miles from Leeds. Homes in HD6 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Brighouse
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.

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.
Brighouse 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.

At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. We book surveys in Brighouse at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
