Before you book: heat pump radiator upgrades in Earl Shilton
Every property in Earl Shilton is different, so the design starts from measurements rather than a rule of thumb. That keeps the system the right size and the running costs predictable.
We plan radiator upgrades in Earl Shilton so floorboards are lifted only where pipework genuinely needs changing. Radiator fitting in Earl Shilton is scheduled with your heat pump installation so the system is drained only once.
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
- Homeowners who want the lowest practical flow temperature for efficiency
What's included
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
- Making good around brackets and pipe routes, with any decorating agreed in your quote
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
Many older houses in Earl Shilton still have their original single-panel radiators, so the survey checks each one against the room it heats.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Earl Shilton 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.
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 Earl Shilton: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Earl Shilton?
Often some, not all. Heat pumps run best at lower water temperatures, so rooms with small radiators may need larger ones. The survey of your Earl Shilton home gives a room-by-room list.
Do you cover Hinckley as well as Earl Shilton?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Hinckley, which is about 4 miles south-west of Earl Shilton, and across Leicestershire.
Where would the outdoor unit go on an Earl Shilton 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 Earl Shilton home.
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.
