Heat pump radiators for Stourbridge homes
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Stourbridge is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
We plan radiator upgrades in Stourbridge so floorboards are lifted only where pipework genuinely needs changing. Many older houses in Stourbridge 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.
- Homeowners who want the lowest practical flow temperature for efficiency
- Homes switching from a gas, oil or LPG boiler to a heat pump
- Extensions and loft conversions with large areas of glazing
What's included
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
- Making good around brackets and pipe routes, with any decorating agreed in your quote
- Room-by-room heat loss figures for every heated room
- A radiator schedule showing which radiators stay, which change and their outputs
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
Extensions and kitchen-diners around Stourbridge with large glazed areas get their own radiator calculation.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Stourbridge 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.

On the shortest day Stourbridge gets about 7 hours 40 minutes of daylight, with the noon sun around 14° up. The heating season runs from autumn into spring, so a heat pump that is sized correctly and set up with weather compensation does most of its work in steady, cool conditions.

Heat pump radiator upgrades in Stourbridge: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Stourbridge that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Stourbridge, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Stourbridge?
A home survey in Stourbridge 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.
How long does installation take in Stourbridge?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Stourbridge home states the expected time.
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.
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.
