What to know about heat pump radiator upgrades in St Neots
In St Neots, as anywhere in the UK, the heat pumps that perform well are the ones designed around low flow temperatures and sized from a proper heat loss calculation.
We plan radiator upgrades in St Neots so floorboards are lifted only where pipework genuinely needs changing. In St Neots, bay-windowed front rooms are often the rooms that need a larger radiator when moving to a heat pump.
We size each radiator to your room-by-room heat loss so a heat pump can heat your home at a low, efficient flow temperature.
- Homes switching from a gas, oil or LPG boiler to a heat pump
- Extensions and loft conversions with large areas of glazing
- Rooms with little wall space, where a fan-assisted radiator fits better
What's included
- Making good around brackets and pipe routes, with any decorating agreed in your quote
- Room-by-room heat loss figures for every heated room
- A radiator schedule showing which radiators stay, which change and their outputs
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
For period homes in St Neots and across Cambridgeshire, column radiators can keep the character of a room while giving enough heat at low temperatures.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
In England the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027), and since 28 April 2026 a valid EPC is no longer needed. The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your St Neots quote.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK until 31 March 2027. In England most houses can have an air source heat pump under permitted development, provided the unit meets the MCS noise and siting standards; the old 1 m boundary limit was removed on 29 May 2025. We flag listed buildings, flats and sensitive conservation-area positions at survey.

Installed, inc VAT. The survey lists which radiators need changing.
How long is the heating season in St Neots?
St Neots has about 7 hours 42 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 47 minutes at midsummer. That swing matters if you pair a heat pump with solar panels: summer generation can cover much of the hot water, winter generation far less.
How installation works in St Neots

- You receive a heat loss design and a fixed written quote, with any grant shown where it applies.
- Installers fit the unit, cylinder and any radiator changes, typically over 2–4 days on site.
- The system is commissioned, set up with weather compensation and handed over with the paperwork.
Heat pump radiator upgrades in St Neots: questions
How soon can you survey a home in St Neots?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Cambridgeshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Can you service a heat pump in St Neots that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in St Neots, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a St Neots house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your St Neots home.
Can I keep my radiators and just run the heat pump hotter?
You can, but it usually costs more to run. Every extra degree of flow temperature reduces a heat pump's efficiency, so a system designed at 55°C uses noticeably more electricity than one at 45°C for the same heat. A few well-chosen radiator upgrades often let the whole house run cooler, which is the better long-term trade.
How much does a heat pump radiator cost?
A replacement radiator sized for a heat pump has a guide price of £250–£450 each, installed and including VAT. Upgrading about ten radiators in a typical home has a guide price of £2,000–£5,000. The final price is fixed in your written quote after the survey, once the radiator schedule shows exactly which radiators change.
