Storage and electric heater replacement in Droitwich
For Droitwich landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Away from the coast, West Midlands summers can turn hot quickly, and bedrooms under the roof are the first to suffer.
Flats and bungalows in Droitwich that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Droitwich sits around 6 miles from Worcester, inside our Worcestershire area. That includes the WR9 postcode district.
Prices in Droitwich
For Droitwich, expect roughly £3,395 to £10,245 for 3–5 rooms, VAT included, adjusted for typical West Midlands rates. That is close to the UK middle for this kind of work. 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. As an example, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) would typically be £4,845–£7,795 here.

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.
Droitwich 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 Droitwich 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. 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.
