What to know about heat pump radiator upgrades in Street
Homes around Street range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
We plan radiator upgrades in Street so floorboards are lifted only where pipework genuinely needs changing. For period homes in Street and across Somerset, column radiators can keep the character of a room while giving enough heat at low temperatures.
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.
- Homes switching from a gas, oil or LPG boiler to a heat pump
- Rooms with little wall space, where a fan-assisted radiator fits better
- Homeowners who want the lowest practical flow temperature for efficiency
What's included
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
- Room-by-room heat loss figures for every heated room
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
In Street, 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
Homes in Street 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.
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.

The steps for heat pump radiator upgrades in Street
- Send your postcode and a few details, or use the guide price tool.
- A surveyor visits your Street home, measures every room and checks where the outdoor unit can go.
- You receive a heat loss design and a fixed written quote, with any grant shown where it applies.
- Installers fit the unit, cylinder and any radiator changes, typically over 2–4 days on site.
- The system is commissioned, set up with weather compensation and handed over with the paperwork.
Heat pump radiator upgrades in Street: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Street that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Street, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do you cover Glastonbury as well as Street?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Glastonbury, which is about 2 miles north-east of Street, and across Somerset.
How long does installation take in Street?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Street home states the expected time.
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.
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.
