Heat pump radiators for Tiverton homes
Homes around Tiverton 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 Tiverton and across Devon, column radiators can keep the character of a room while giving enough heat at low temperatures. Extensions and kitchen-diners around Tiverton 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.
- Homes switching from a gas, oil or LPG boiler to a heat pump
- Rooms that already feel slow to heat, such as bay-windowed living rooms
- Rooms with little wall space, where a fan-assisted radiator fits better
What's included
- A radiator schedule showing which radiators stay, which change and their outputs
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
- Making good around brackets and pipe routes, with any decorating agreed in your quote
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
Many older houses in Tiverton still have their original single-panel radiators, so the survey checks each one against the room it heats.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Tiverton can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which takes £7,500 off the cost of an air source heat pump when it replaces fossil-fuel or electric heating. Replacing oil or LPG heating qualifies for £9,000 for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and air-to-air systems for £2,500. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies for the grant and deducts it from the price.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Since 29 May 2025, permitted development in England allows up to two air source heat pumps on a house, each up to 1.5 m³, with no blanket 1 m boundary rule — the installation must still meet the MCS planning standards, including the noise check. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation-area positions need extra consent, which we check at survey.

Heat pump radiator upgrades in Tiverton: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Tiverton?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Devon. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Tiverton 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 Tiverton home.
Do you cover Crediton as well as Tiverton?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Crediton, which is about 11 miles south-west of Tiverton, and across Devon.
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.
Can radiators be changed without draining the whole system?
Radiator changes normally mean draining the heating system, which is why they are usually done as part of the heat pump installation. The system is then refilled, flushed, treated with inhibitor and balanced. Doing the radiators at the same time avoids draining twice and means the new radiators are commissioned with the heat pump.
