Heat pump radiators for Glastonbury homes
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Glastonbury is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
For period homes in Glastonbury and across Somerset, column radiators can keep the character of a room while giving enough heat at low temperatures. Extensions and kitchen-diners around Glastonbury 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.
- Homeowners who want the lowest practical flow temperature for efficiency
- Rooms with little wall space, where a fan-assisted radiator fits better
- Rooms that already feel slow to heat, such as bay-windowed living rooms
What's included
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
- Room-by-room heat loss figures for every heated room
- Making good around brackets and pipe routes, with any decorating agreed in your quote
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
In Glastonbury, bay-windowed front rooms are often the rooms that need a larger radiator when moving to a heat pump.
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 Glastonbury 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.
Guide prices for heat pump radiator upgrades in Glastonbury
These are guide prices for Somerset, 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) | £250–£450 |
| Upgrade of about 10 radiators | £2,000–£5,000 |
| Pipework upgrade (e.g. microbore to larger bore) | £1,500–£3,500 |
Installed, inc VAT. The survey lists which radiators need changing.
How long is the heating season in Glastonbury?
Glastonbury sees roughly 7 hours 53 minutes of daylight in late December against 16 hours 34 minutes in June. Milder southern winters suit heat pumps well, though the system is still sized for a cold snap rather than an average day.

Heat pump radiator upgrades in Glastonbury: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Glastonbury that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Glastonbury, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Glastonbury 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 Glastonbury home.
How soon can you survey a home in Glastonbury?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Somerset. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
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.
