Heat pump radiators for Burton upon Trent homes
In Burton upon Trent, 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.
We plan radiator upgrades in Burton upon Trent so floorboards are lifted only where pipework genuinely needs changing. Many older houses in Burton upon Trent still have their original single-panel radiators, so the survey checks each one against the room it heats.
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
- A radiator schedule showing which radiators stay, which change and their outputs
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
Radiator fitting in Burton upon Trent 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 Burton upon Trent quote.
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 radiators costs around Burton upon Trent
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in Staffordshire, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Burton upon Trent can need quite different radiators and pipework.

| 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.

Heat pump radiator upgrades in Burton upon Trent: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Burton upon Trent?
A home survey in Burton upon Trent usually takes one to two hours. The surveyor measures every heated room, checks windows, walls and radiators, and looks at where the outdoor unit and cylinder can go.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Burton upon Trent?
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 Burton upon Trent home gives a room-by-room list.
How long does installation take in Burton upon Trent?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Burton upon Trent home states the expected time.
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.
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.
