Before you book: heat pump radiator upgrades in Alderley Edge
Every property in Alderley Edge is different, so the design starts from measurements rather than a rule of thumb. That keeps the system the right size and the running costs predictable.
Extensions and kitchen-diners around Alderley Edge with large glazed areas get their own radiator calculation. Many older houses in Alderley Edge still have their original single-panel radiators, so the survey checks each one against the room it heats.
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.
- Rooms that already feel slow to heat, such as bay-windowed living rooms
- Homes switching from a gas, oil or LPG boiler to a heat pump
- Extensions and loft conversions with large areas of glazing
What's included
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
- Making good around brackets and pipe routes, with any decorating agreed in your quote
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
- A radiator schedule showing which radiators stay, which change and their outputs
We plan radiator upgrades in Alderley Edge so floorboards are lifted only where pipework genuinely needs changing.
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 Alderley Edge 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.
Heat pump radiators prices in Alderley Edge
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in Cheshire, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Alderley Edge can need quite different radiators and pipework.
| Work | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Replacement radiator, sized for a heat pump (each, fitted) | £250–£450 |
| Upgrade of about 10 radiators | £2,000–£5,000 |
| Pipework upgrade (e.g. microbore to larger bore) | £1,500–£3,500 |
Installed, inc VAT. The survey lists which radiators need changing.
Designing for Alderley Edge's winters
Alderley Edge has about 7 hours 30 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 17 hours 00 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.

Heat pump radiator upgrades in Alderley Edge: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Alderley Edge?
Often some, not all. Heat pumps run best at lower water temperatures, so rooms with small radiators may need larger ones. The survey of your Alderley Edge home gives a room-by-room list.
Can you service a heat pump in Alderley Edge that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Alderley Edge, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Where would the outdoor unit go on an Alderley Edge 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 Alderley Edge home.
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.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Not necessarily: many homes keep most of their radiators and replace only a few. The heat loss survey checks each room against its existing radiator at the planned flow temperature. Rooms with large windows, high ceilings or extensions are the usual candidates for an upgrade, while bedrooms often need no change. Your radiator schedule lists every decision.
