What to know about heat pump radiator upgrades in Coleraine
Homes around Coleraine range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
For period homes in Coleraine and across County Londonderry, column radiators can keep the character of a room while giving enough heat at low temperatures. Extensions and kitchen-diners around Coleraine with large glazed areas get their own radiator calculation.
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 with little wall space, where a fan-assisted radiator fits better
- Extensions and loft conversions with large areas of glazing
- Rooms that already feel slow to heat, such as bay-windowed living rooms
What's included
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
- Room-by-room heat loss figures for every heated room
- Making good around brackets and pipe routes, with any decorating agreed in your quote
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
In Coleraine, 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
Northern Ireland does not have a dedicated heat pump grant for homeowners at present, and the Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply here. Heat pumps have sometimes been funded through the Northern Ireland Sustainable Energy Programme, so it is worth checking what is open when you enquire about a home in Coleraine.
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 Coleraine property at survey.

Heat pump radiator upgrades in Coleraine: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Coleraine 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 Coleraine home.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Coleraine?
A home survey in Coleraine 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 you service a heat pump in Coleraine that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Coleraine, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
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.
Are fan-assisted radiators noisy?
Fan-assisted radiators make a low, steady fan sound when running at higher output, and many have quieter settings for bedrooms at night. They are useful where wall space is short, such as a kitchen with few clear walls. They need a small electrical supply, which we plan into the installation if you choose them.
