Before you book: heat pump radiator upgrades in Thornaby-on-Tees
In Thornaby-on-Tees, 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.
Extensions and kitchen-diners around Thornaby-on-Tees with large glazed areas get their own radiator calculation. We plan radiator upgrades in Thornaby-on-Tees so floorboards are lifted only where pipework genuinely needs changing.
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.
- Extensions and loft conversions with large areas of glazing
- Rooms that already feel slow to heat, such as bay-windowed living rooms
- 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
- Making good around brackets and pipe routes, with any decorating agreed in your quote
- A radiator schedule showing which radiators stay, which change and their outputs
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
Radiator fitting in Thornaby-on-Tees is scheduled with your heat pump installation so the system is drained only once.
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 Thornaby-on-Tees quote.
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.

Heat pump radiator upgrades in Thornaby-on-Tees: questions
How long does installation take in Thornaby-on-Tees?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Thornaby-on-Tees home states the expected time.
Do you cover Yarm as well as Thornaby-on-Tees?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Yarm, which is about 3 miles south-west of Thornaby-on-Tees, and across North Yorkshire.
Can you service a heat pump in Thornaby-on-Tees that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Thornaby-on-Tees, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
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.
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.
