Best Radiators for Heat Pumps
Looking for the best radiators for heat pumps? You're in the right place. Heat pumps operate at lower water temperatures (35-45°C) compared to gas boilers (60-80°C), which means you need radiators specifically designed for low temperature heating systems.
Our range of aluminium radiators are the ideal choice for both air source heat pumps and ground source heat pumps. Aluminium conducts heat faster than steel, meaning better performance at lower flow temperatures.
💡 Why Aluminium for Heat Pumps?
- Fast heat-up - Reaches temperature in minutes, not hours
- High efficiency - Works at 35-45°C flow temperatures
- Lightweight - Easier to install on all wall types
- Lower bills - Save £150-250/year vs oversized steel radiators
How to Size Radiators for Heat Pumps
Because heat pumps run at lower temperatures, you typically need radiators with 1.5x to 2x the BTU output compared to a gas boiler system. Our team can help you calculate the right size - just WhatsApp us with your room dimensions.
Rule of thumb: If your room needed a 1000 BTU radiator with a gas boiler, you'll need approximately 1500-2000 BTU with a heat pump.

Heat Pump Radiators FAQ
Can I use my existing radiators with a heat pump?
Sometimes, but they often need to be larger. Heat pumps run at 35-45°C vs 60-80°C for gas boilers, so you need radiators with higher BTU output at low temperatures. Aluminium radiators are usually the best upgrade.
What's the best material for heat pump radiators?
Aluminium is the best choice. It heats up faster than steel, works efficiently at low temperatures, and has excellent thermal conductivity. This means better comfort with lower energy bills.
How do I size radiators for an air source heat pump?
Use the ΔT30 or ΔT35 BTU rating (not ΔT50). As a rule, you need 1.5-2x the BTU output compared to a gas boiler system. Our team can help with sizing - WhatsApp us your room dimensions.
Are heat pump radiators more expensive?
Aluminium radiators cost slightly more upfront, but they save £150-250 per year on heating bills. They also qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant when installed with a heat pump.
