Before you book: heat pump radiator upgrades in Bathgate
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Bathgate is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
For period homes in Bathgate and across Edinburgh and the Lothians, column radiators can keep the character of a room while giving enough heat at low temperatures. Extensions and kitchen-diners around Bathgate 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
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
- A radiator schedule showing which radiators stay, which change and their outputs
- Making good around brackets and pipe routes, with any decorating agreed in your quote
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
We plan radiator upgrades in Bathgate so floorboards are lifted only where pipework genuinely needs changing.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Bathgate can apply to Home Energy Scotland for a grant of up to £7,500 towards a heat pump, with up to £1,500 more for eligible rural and island homes, plus an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. You need a written funding offer before any work starts.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK, Scotland included, until 31 March 2027. Scottish permitted development rules and building standards apply, and the surveyor checks the unit position and any listed or conservation-area constraints.

Heat pump radiator upgrades in Bathgate: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Bathgate that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Bathgate, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Bathgate?
A home survey in Bathgate 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.
How long does installation take in Bathgate?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Bathgate home states the expected time.
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.
Will new radiators be much bigger than my old ones?
Sometimes, but not always. Swapping a single-panel radiator for a double or triple-panel model of the same height and width can raise output substantially, adding only depth from the wall. Where that is not enough, a longer or taller radiator, or a second radiator in the room, may be needed. We agree sizes and positions with you before anything is ordered.
