Storage and electric heater replacement in Devizes
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. Flats and bungalows in Devizes that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters.
Old storage heaters in Devizes homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. We cover Devizes as part of Wiltshire, roughly 17 miles from Swindon. Postcode districts we cover here include SN10.
Prices in Devizes
Our South West England guide price for storage and electric heater replacement is £3,450–£10,450 for 3–5 rooms, VAT included. That is broadly in line with national guide prices. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. For reference, the Bungalow or house option in Devizes (four rooms on one outdoor unit) usually comes to about £4,950–£7,950.

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.
Devizes 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
On a survey in Devizes the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows. We book surveys in Devizes at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
