Before you book: heat pump radiator upgrades in Aldridge
Homes around Aldridge range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Many older houses in Aldridge still have their original single-panel radiators, so the survey checks each one against the room it heats. We plan radiator upgrades in Aldridge 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
- Rooms that already feel slow to heat, such as bay-windowed living rooms
- Extensions and loft conversions with large areas of glazing
What's included
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
- A radiator schedule showing which radiators stay, which change and their outputs
- Room-by-room heat loss figures for every heated room
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
Extensions and kitchen-diners around Aldridge with large glazed areas get their own radiator calculation.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Aldridge 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.

Heat pump radiator upgrades in Aldridge: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on an Aldridge 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 Aldridge home.
What size heat pump does an Aldridge home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Aldridge home.
Do you cover Walsall as well as Aldridge?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Walsall, which is about 3 miles south-west of Aldridge, and across the West Midlands.
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.
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.
