What to know about heat pump radiator upgrades in Brighouse
Every property in Brighouse 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.
We plan radiator upgrades in Brighouse so floorboards are lifted only where pipework genuinely needs changing. Radiator fitting in Brighouse is scheduled with your heat pump installation so the system is drained only once.
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.
- Homes switching from a gas, oil or LPG boiler to a heat pump
- Extensions and loft conversions with large areas of glazing
- Rooms with little wall space, where a fan-assisted radiator fits better
What's included
- Making good around brackets and pipe routes, with any decorating agreed in your quote
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
- Room-by-room heat loss figures for every heated room
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
Many older houses in Brighouse still have their original single-panel radiators, so the survey checks each one against the room it heats.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Brighouse 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 radiators costs around Brighouse
These are guide prices for West Yorkshire, 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.

|---|---|
| Replacement radiator, sized for a heat pump (each, fitted) | £240–£440 |
| Upgrade of about 10 radiators | £1,950–£4,900 |
| Pipework upgrade (e.g. microbore to larger bore) | £1,450–£3,450 |
Installed, inc VAT. The survey lists which radiators need changing.
Short winter days in Brighouse and what they mean
On the shortest day Brighouse gets only about 7 hours 26 minutes of daylight and the noon sun sits around 13° above the horizon. Northern winters tend to be longer, so a well-designed, efficient system matters more here because it runs for more of the year.

- The system is commissioned, set up with weather compensation and handed over with the paperwork.
Heat pump radiator upgrades in Brighouse: questions
Do you cover Halifax as well as Brighouse?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Halifax, which is about 3 miles west of Brighouse, and across West Yorkshire.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Brighouse?
A home survey in Brighouse 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.
Can you service a heat pump in Brighouse that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Brighouse, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
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.
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.
