Heat pump radiators in Midhurst: what to expect
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Midhurst is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
For period homes in Midhurst and across West Sussex, column radiators can keep the character of a room while giving enough heat at low temperatures. In Midhurst, 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.
- Homeowners who want the lowest practical flow temperature for efficiency
- 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
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
- Making good around brackets and pipe routes, with any decorating agreed in your quote
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
- A radiator schedule showing which radiators stay, which change and their outputs
Extensions and kitchen-diners around Midhurst 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 Midhurst 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 costs around Midhurst
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 |

Installed, inc VAT. The survey lists which radiators need changing.
Winter daylight and heating in Midhurst
On the shortest day Midhurst gets about 7 hours 55 minutes of daylight, and the winter sun reaches only around 16° 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 Midhurst
- Send your postcode and a few details, or use the guide price tool.
- A surveyor visits your Midhurst 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 Midhurst: questions
Do you cover Petworth as well as Midhurst?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Petworth, which is about 6 miles east of Midhurst, and across West Sussex.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Midhurst 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 Midhurst home.
Can you service a heat pump in Midhurst that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Midhurst, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Can I keep my radiators and just run the heat pump hotter?
You can, but it usually costs more to run. Every extra degree of flow temperature reduces a heat pump's efficiency, so a system designed at 55°C uses noticeably more electricity than one at 45°C for the same heat. A few well-chosen radiator upgrades often let the whole house run cooler, which is the better long-term trade.
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.
