Before you book: heat pump radiator upgrades in Burgess Hill
Homes around Burgess Hill range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Radiator fitting in Burgess Hill is scheduled with your heat pump installation so the system is drained only once. Many older houses in Burgess Hill 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 with little wall space, where a fan-assisted radiator fits better
- Rooms that already feel slow to heat, such as bay-windowed living rooms
What's included
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
- Making good around brackets and pipe routes, with any decorating agreed in your quote
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
- A radiator schedule showing which radiators stay, which change and their outputs
We plan radiator upgrades in Burgess Hill so floorboards are lifted only where pipework genuinely needs changing.
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 Burgess Hill 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 Burgess Hill
These are guide prices for West Sussex, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.
| Work | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Replacement radiator, sized for a heat pump (each, fitted) | £260–£470 |
| Upgrade of about 10 radiators | £2,100–£5,200 |
| Pipework upgrade (e.g. microbore to larger bore) | £1,550–£3,650 |
Installed, inc VAT. The survey lists which radiators need changing.
Winter daylight and heating in Burgess Hill
Burgess Hill sees roughly 7 hours 55 minutes of daylight in late December against 16 hours 32 minutes in June. Milder southern winters suit heat pumps well, though the system is still sized for a cold snap rather than an average day.
The steps for heat pump radiator upgrades in Burgess Hill
- Tell us about your home: postcode, property type and current heating.
- We book a survey in Burgess Hill; the surveyor measures rooms, windows and radiators and looks at cylinder space.
- The design and quote arrive in writing, including radiator changes and the outdoor unit position.
- On installation days the old system is removed and the new one fitted and filled.
- We commission the heat pump, show you the controls and register the installation.
Heat pump radiator upgrades in Burgess Hill: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Burgess Hill that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Burgess Hill, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Burgess Hill?
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 Burgess Hill home gives a room-by-room list.
What size heat pump does a Burgess Hill 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 Burgess Hill home.
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.
