Heat pump radiators for Craigavon homes
A heat pump suits most Craigavon homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
We plan radiator upgrades in Craigavon so floorboards are lifted only where pipework genuinely needs changing. For period homes in Craigavon and across County Armagh, column radiators can keep the character of a room while giving enough heat at low temperatures.
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
- Homeowners who want the lowest practical flow temperature for efficiency
What's included
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
- Making good around brackets and pipe routes, with any decorating agreed in your quote
- A radiator schedule showing which radiators stay, which change and their outputs
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
In Craigavon, bay-windowed front rooms are often the rooms that need a larger radiator when moving to a heat pump.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Northern Ireland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers England and Wales only, and there is currently no dedicated heat pump grant for homeowners in Northern Ireland. Our quote for a Craigavon home is therefore shown without a grant deduction; if support becomes available we will tell you how it applies.
Installing heat pumps has been zero-rated for VAT in Northern Ireland since 1 May 2023, in line with the rest of the UK, until 31 March 2027. Northern Ireland has its own permitted development rules and building regulations, and we confirm what applies to your Craigavon property at survey.

Heat pump radiator upgrades in Craigavon: questions
How long does installation take in Craigavon?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Craigavon home states the expected time.
Do you cover Lurgan as well as Craigavon?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Lurgan, which is about 2 miles east of Craigavon, and across County Armagh.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Craigavon?
A home survey in Craigavon usually takes one to two hours. The surveyor measures every heated room, checks windows, walls and radiators, and looks at where the outdoor unit and cylinder can go.
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.
