Heat pump radiators for Reigate homes
Every property in Reigate is different, so the design starts from measurements rather than a rule of thumb. That keeps the system the right size and the running costs predictable.
In Reigate, bay-windowed front rooms are often the rooms that need a larger radiator when moving to a heat pump. We plan radiator upgrades in Reigate 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 with little wall space, where a fan-assisted radiator fits better
- 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
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
- A radiator schedule showing which radiators stay, which change and their outputs
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
- Making good around brackets and pipe routes, with any decorating agreed in your quote
Extensions and kitchen-diners around Reigate with large glazed areas get their own radiator calculation.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Reigate 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.
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 Reigate
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 Reigate 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.
How long is the heating season in Reigate?
On the shortest day Reigate gets about 7 hours 52 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.
How installation works in Reigate
- Send your postcode and a few details, or use the guide price tool.
- A surveyor visits your Reigate 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 Reigate: questions
Do you cover Redhill as well as Reigate?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Redhill, which is about 2 miles east of Reigate, and across Surrey.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Reigate?
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 Reigate home gives a room-by-room list.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Reigate 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 Reigate home.
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.
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.
