Heat pump radiators for Hinckley homes
Homes around Hinckley range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
For period homes in Hinckley and across Leicestershire, column radiators can keep the character of a room while giving enough heat at low temperatures. Extensions and kitchen-diners around Hinckley with large glazed areas get their own radiator calculation.
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
- A radiator schedule showing which radiators stay, which change and their outputs
- Making good around brackets and pipe routes, with any decorating agreed in your quote
- Room-by-room heat loss figures for every heated room
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
Radiator fitting in Hinckley is scheduled with your heat pump installation so the system is drained only once.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Hinckley 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 Hinckley: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Hinckley?
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 Hinckley home gives a room-by-room list.
What size heat pump does a Hinckley home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Hinckley home.
How long does installation take in Hinckley?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Hinckley home states the expected time.
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.
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.
