Before you book: heat pump radiator upgrades in Bradford-on-Avon
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Bradford-on-Avon is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
In Bradford-on-Avon, bay-windowed front rooms are often the rooms that need a larger radiator when moving to a heat pump. We plan radiator upgrades in Bradford-on-Avon 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.
- Homes switching from a gas, oil or LPG boiler to a heat pump
- Extensions and loft conversions with large areas of glazing
- Homeowners who want the lowest practical flow temperature for efficiency
What's included
- Making good around brackets and pipe routes, with any decorating agreed in your quote
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
- Room-by-room heat loss figures for every heated room
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
Radiator fitting in Bradford-on-Avon is scheduled with your heat pump installation so the system is drained only once.
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 Bradford-on-Avon quote.
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.

Heat pump radiator upgrades in Bradford-on-Avon: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Bradford-on-Avon?
A home survey in Bradford-on-Avon 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 soon can you survey a home in Bradford-on-Avon?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Wiltshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Can you service a heat pump in Bradford-on-Avon that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Bradford-on-Avon, 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.
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.
