Heat pump radiators for Faversham homes
In Faversham, 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.
For period homes in Faversham and across Kent, column radiators can keep the character of a room while giving enough heat at low temperatures. In Faversham, bay-windowed front rooms are often the rooms that need a larger radiator when moving to a heat pump.
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 that already feel slow to heat, such as bay-windowed living rooms
- Extensions and loft conversions with large areas of glazing
- Homeowners who want the lowest practical flow temperature for efficiency
What's included
- Room-by-room heat loss figures for every heated room
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
- A radiator schedule showing which radiators stay, which change and their outputs
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
Radiator fitting in Faversham is scheduled with your heat pump installation so the system is drained only once.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Faversham 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.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK until 31 March 2027. In England most houses can have an air source heat pump under permitted development, provided the unit meets the MCS noise and siting standards; the old 1 m boundary limit was removed on 29 May 2025. We flag listed buildings, flats and sensitive conservation-area positions at survey.

Designing for Faversham's winters

The steps for heat pump radiator upgrades in Faversham
- Send your postcode and a few details, or use the guide price tool.
- A surveyor visits your Faversham home, measures every room and checks where the outdoor unit can go.
- You receive a heat loss design and a fixed written quote, with any grant shown where it applies.
- Installers fit the unit, cylinder and any radiator changes, typically over 2–4 days on site.
- The system is commissioned, set up with weather compensation and handed over with the paperwork.
Heat pump radiator upgrades in Faversham: questions
Do you cover Whitstable as well as Faversham?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Whitstable, which is about 7 miles north-east of Faversham, and across Kent.
Can you service a heat pump in Faversham that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Faversham, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How soon can you survey a home in Faversham?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Kent. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Not necessarily: many homes keep most of their radiators and replace only a few. The heat loss survey checks each room against its existing radiator at the planned flow temperature. Rooms with large windows, high ceilings or extensions are the usual candidates for an upgrade, while bedrooms often need no change. Your radiator schedule lists every decision.
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.
