What to know about heat pump radiator upgrades in Godalming
In Godalming, 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.
Many older houses in Godalming still have their original single-panel radiators, so the survey checks each one against the room it heats. In Godalming, bay-windowed front rooms are often the rooms that need a larger radiator when moving to a heat pump.
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 with little wall space, where a fan-assisted radiator fits better
- Homeowners who want the lowest practical flow temperature for efficiency
- Homes switching from a gas, oil or LPG boiler to a heat pump
What's included
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
- A radiator schedule showing which radiators stay, which change and their outputs
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
Extensions and kitchen-diners around Godalming with large glazed areas get their own radiator calculation.
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 Godalming 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 radiators prices in Godalming
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in Surrey, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Godalming can need quite different radiators and pipework.
| Work | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Replacement radiator, sized for a heat pump (each, fitted) | £270–£480 |
| Upgrade of about 10 radiators | £2,150–£5,350 |
| Pipework upgrade (e.g. microbore to larger bore) | £1,600–£3,750 |
Installed, inc VAT. The survey lists which radiators need changing.
Winter daylight and heating in Godalming
On the shortest day Godalming gets about 7 hours 53 minutes of daylight, and the winter sun reaches only around 15° above the horizon at noon. Winters this far south are milder than in most of the UK, which helps a heat pump run at low flow temperatures for much of the season.

Heat pump radiator upgrades in Godalming: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Godalming 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 Godalming home.
How soon can you survey a home in Godalming?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Surrey. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Godalming?
A home survey in Godalming 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?
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.
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.
