This has to be one of the most common questions we're asked about heat pumps and the answer is "yes" and "no". Let's look at some of the reasons why.
While this can vary from project to project, it's often not as daunting as it sounds. Many older radiators are already showing signs of wear and tear, making your heat pump install a good opportunity to upgrade to more efficient models.
Optimizing Home Comfort: The Case for Upgrading to Heat Pump-Compatible Radiators
Why do we need to change some radiators? Heat pumps are an energy-efficient and comfortable way to heat your home. Unlike traditional gas boilers, which operate at higher temperatures, heat pumps work with cooler water to maintain a steady and comfortable indoor temperature of around 21–23 degrees Celsius. To ensure your heating system remains effective and efficient with this approach, it’s important to have radiators that are appropriately sized for your home’s needs.
At Your Energy Your Way, we use advanced 3D digital scanning technology to assess heat loss and determine the ideal radiator size for each room. This ensures consistent warmth throughout your home. Older systems often placed radiators under windows without fully accounting for heat output, sometimes resulting in uneven heating throughout the house. Our precise calculations eliminate these inefficiencies, ensuring every room stays comfortably warm.
Understanding Radiator Types and Choosing the Right Fit for Your Home
The key to understanding how much heat your radiator can provide lies in counting the panels and fins, the more panels and fins, the higher the heat output. You might hear people talk about K2 radiators, these are radiators with two panels (the K) and two fins (the 2). Which means you also get K1 radiators with two panels one fin and P+ radiators with one panel and one fin. Confused? Don't worry, we'll sort all this out for you,

Combining Classic Elegance with Modern Efficiency in Home Heating Solutions
When it comes to home heating, many people have a soft spot for those old-fashioned Victorian column radiators. They add a touch of classic elegance to any room. However, despite their charm, these radiators often fall short in terms of heat output. If you're looking for efficiency, K2 radiators are the way to go. These modern radiators feature two panels and a couple of fins, significantly boosting their heat output.
