Heat pump radiators in Carluke: what to expect
Homes around Carluke range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
We plan radiator upgrades in Carluke so floorboards are lifted only where pipework genuinely needs changing. For period homes in Carluke and across Lanarkshire, 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.
- Rooms with little wall space, where a fan-assisted radiator fits better
- Extensions and loft conversions with large areas of glazing
- Rooms that already feel slow to heat, such as bay-windowed living rooms
What's included
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
- Room-by-room heat loss figures for every heated room
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
Radiator fitting in Carluke is scheduled with your heat pump installation so the system is drained only once.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
In Scotland, heat pump funding comes through Home Energy Scotland rather than the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: a grant of up to £7,500 (up to £1,500 extra for eligible rural and island homes) and an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. For a Carluke home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.
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 Carluke property at survey.
Guide prices for heat pump radiator upgrades in Carluke
Guide prices for Carluke and the rest of Lanarkshire are shown below, installed and inc VAT. We publish ranges rather than a single figure because design details move the price, and the written quote after survey fixes it.

| Replacement radiator, sized for a heat pump (each, fitted) | £250–£450 |
| Upgrade of about 10 radiators | £2,000–£5,000 |

Installed, inc VAT. The survey lists which radiators need changing.
Designing for Carluke's winters
Carluke has about 7 hours 00 minutes of daylight at midwinter against 17 hours 33 minutes in midsummer. Heat pumps are designed to keep working well below freezing, but the design temperature for the survey is set for local conditions, not an average day.
The steps for heat pump radiator upgrades in Carluke
- Tell us about your home: postcode, property type and current heating.
- We book a survey in Carluke; the surveyor measures rooms, windows and radiators and looks at cylinder space.
- The design and quote arrive in writing, including radiator changes and the outdoor unit position.
- On installation days the old system is removed and the new one fitted and filled.
- We commission the heat pump, show you the controls and register the installation.
Heat pump radiator upgrades in Carluke: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Carluke that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Carluke, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Carluke 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 Carluke home.
Do you cover Wishaw as well as Carluke?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Wishaw, which is about 4 miles north-west of Carluke, and across Lanarkshire.
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.
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.
