Before you book: heat pump radiator upgrades in Jedburgh
A heat pump suits most Jedburgh homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
In Jedburgh, bay-windowed front rooms are often the rooms that need a larger radiator when moving to a heat pump. We plan radiator upgrades in Jedburgh 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.
- Rooms that already feel slow to heat, such as bay-windowed living rooms
- Extensions and loft conversions with large areas of glazing
- Homes switching from a gas, oil or LPG boiler to a heat pump
What's included
- A radiator schedule showing which radiators stay, which change and their outputs
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
- Room-by-room heat loss figures for every heated room
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
- Making good around brackets and pipe routes, with any decorating agreed in your quote
Radiator fitting in Jedburgh is scheduled with your heat pump installation so the system is drained only once.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Jedburgh can apply to Home Energy Scotland for a grant of up to £7,500 towards a heat pump, with up to £1,500 more for eligible rural and island homes, plus an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. You need a written funding offer before any work starts.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK, Scotland included, until 31 March 2027. Scottish permitted development rules and building standards apply, and the surveyor checks the unit position and any listed or conservation-area constraints.
Heat pump radiators costs around Jedburgh
These are guide prices for the Scottish Borders, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.
| Work | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Replacement radiator, sized for a heat pump (each, fitted) | £260–£460 |
| Upgrade of about 10 radiators | £2,050–£5,100 |
| Pipework upgrade (e.g. microbore to larger bore) | £1,550–£3,550 |
Installed, inc VAT. The survey lists which radiators need changing.
Designing for Jedburgh's winters

Heat pump radiator upgrades in Jedburgh: questions
What size heat pump does a Jedburgh 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 Jedburgh home.
How long does installation take in Jedburgh?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Jedburgh home states the expected time.
Can you service a heat pump in Jedburgh that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Jedburgh, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
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.
Can I keep my radiators and just run the heat pump hotter?
You can, but it usually costs more to run. Every extra degree of flow temperature reduces a heat pump's efficiency, so a system designed at 55°C uses noticeably more electricity than one at 45°C for the same heat. A few well-chosen radiator upgrades often let the whole house run cooler, which is the better long-term trade.
