Storage and electric heater replacement in Lofthouse
Cold Yorkshire winters mean sizing for heating first, then checking the summer cooling load. Old storage heaters in Lofthouse homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement.
For Lofthouse landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Lofthouse lies roughly 5 miles from Leeds, and we cover it as part of West Yorkshire. Postcode districts we cover here include WF3.
Prices in Lofthouse
Guide prices around Lofthouse run from £3,295 to £9,945 for 3–5 rooms including VAT. Labour rates in Yorkshire and the Humber keep this slightly under the national middle. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. As an example, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) would typically be £4,695–£7,545 here.
Small flat
Two or three rooms replacing storage heaters.

Four rooms on one outdoor unit.
Larger home
Five or more rooms or two outdoor units.
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.
Lofthouse 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.
The survey
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 Lofthouse at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
