Heat pump radiators for Stow-on-the-Wold homes
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Stow-on-the-Wold is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
In Stow-on-the-Wold, bay-windowed front rooms are often the rooms that need a larger radiator when moving to a heat pump. Many older houses in Stow-on-the-Wold still have their original single-panel radiators, so the survey checks each one against the room it heats.
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
- Extensions and loft conversions with large areas of glazing
- Homes switching from a gas, oil or LPG boiler to a heat pump
What's included
- Room-by-room heat loss figures for every heated room
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
- A radiator schedule showing which radiators stay, which change and their outputs
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
For period homes in Stow-on-the-Wold and across Gloucestershire, column radiators can keep the character of a room while giving enough heat at low temperatures.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
In England the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027), and since 28 April 2026 a valid EPC is no longer needed. The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Stow-on-the-Wold quote.
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 Stow-on-the-Wold: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Stow-on-the-Wold 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 Stow-on-the-Wold home.
How soon can you survey a home in Stow-on-the-Wold?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Gloucestershire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Can you service a heat pump in Stow-on-the-Wold that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Stow-on-the-Wold, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
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.
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.
