Storage and electric heater replacement in Wakefield
Old storage heaters in Wakefield homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Cold Yorkshire winters mean sizing for heating first, then checking the summer cooling load.
For Wakefield landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Wakefield lies roughly 8 miles from Leeds, and we cover it as part of West Yorkshire. Coverage includes WF1.

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 Wakefield, 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.
If your home in Wakefield 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.

We book surveys in Wakefield at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
