Heat pump radiators for North Berwick homes
In North Berwick, as anywhere in the UK, the heat pumps that perform well are the ones designed around low flow temperatures and sized from a proper heat loss calculation.
Radiator fitting in North Berwick is scheduled with your heat pump installation so the system is drained only once. For period homes in North Berwick and across Edinburgh and the Lothians, 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.
- Homeowners who want the lowest practical flow temperature for efficiency
- Homes switching from a gas, oil or LPG boiler to a heat pump
- Rooms with little wall space, where a fan-assisted radiator fits better
What's included
- Room-by-room heat loss figures for every heated room
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
We plan radiator upgrades in North Berwick 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 North Berwick 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.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Scotland has its own permitted development rules for air source heat pumps and its own building standards, so we confirm what applies to your North Berwick property at survey.
Guide prices for heat pump radiator upgrades in North Berwick
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in Edinburgh and the Lothians, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in North Berwick can need quite different radiators and pipework.

| Upgrade of about 10 radiators | £2,050–£5,100 |

Installed, inc VAT. The survey lists which radiators need changing.

Heat pump radiator upgrades in North Berwick: questions
How long does installation take in North Berwick?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a North Berwick home states the expected time.
Can you service a heat pump in North Berwick that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in North Berwick, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do you cover Haddington as well as North Berwick?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Haddington, which is about 7 miles south of North Berwick, and across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
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.
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.
