You want to install new radiators to heat your home better and save on heating costs. You just want to know what options you have and what the radiator prices are. Renoca has listed them so that you can make an informed choice.
What does a radiator cost?
The costs for a radiator range from £ 100 to £ 600 each, including draining the old radiator, disconnecting it, disposing of the old radiator and bleeding the new radiator. The costs are influenced by the type of radiator (from a panel radiator to a design radiator) and the number of radiators you have installed.
- Member radiator
- Panel radiator
- Design radiator
- Electric radiator
See below for each type of radiator what the average costs are, including installation.
Type of radiator | Average prices | Benefit |
---|---|---|
Design radiator | £100 – £140 | Take in a lot of water so stays warm for a long time |
Panel radiator | £50 – £120 | Heats your home at a fast pace |
Design radiator | £150 – £300 | Fitting your interior, many colours, sizes and shapes |
Electric radiator | £400 – £550 | Convenient in places without connection to central heating |

In 3 situations, we will explain what the radiator costs are, depending on your requirements:
The cheapest
You need new radiators, but you don’t want to spend too much on them. In that case, panel radiators are a good option. They are the cheapest and also the most energy-efficient, along with the panel radiator. A panel radiator starts from £50.
The easiest
There are places in your home where installing a radiator is not easy because there is no connection to the central heating. However, there is a socket available. Then an electric radiator is the solution. All you need is a socket. An electric radiator is available from around £400.
Fitting in with your furnishings
Do you want a radiator that fits in with the rest of your home furnishings? Then consider a designer radiator. These come in many colours, shapes and sizes. There is almost always an option that suits you. The price of a design radiator is between £150 and £300.
How are radiator prices structured?
For the purchase and installation of new radiators, the costs are divided between labour costs, material costs and call-out costs. An installer charges around £50 per hour and takes an average of 4 hours over 1 radiator. Each additional radiator takes an extra 2 hours. The prices of installers can sometimes vary considerably. That is why Renoca recommends you ask for quotations and compare them to save money. Material costs depend on the choices you make. These choices are further explained below.
What choices determine radiator prices?
You can influence the final price by making the following choices:
Choice 1: What kind?
The first choice you make is what kind of radiator you want. This choice partly depends on what you think is important. Does your home need to be heated quickly? Then a panel radiator is worth considering. But do you want a radiator that also blends in nicely with the style of your home? Then choose a designer radiator. Draw up a list of what you think is important and include this in your decision.
Choice 2: Which location?
The location of the radiator also affects the price. Is a connection already in place or is that a job for the installer? Is the current connection suitable for the new radiator? Having the pipes laid or relocated will increase costs. For the exact cost in your situation, consult a specialist.
Choice 3: Alternatives
If regular radiators are not what you are looking for, you have other choices to heat your home:
The type of heating | Average prices | Advantage |
---|---|---|
Plint heating | £60 – £120 per metre | Not visible, heating runs through the skirting boards |
Window radiator | £50 – £100 | Low radiator for near low windows, mounted on the floor |
Vertical radiator | £60 – £160 | For places where horizontal does not fit |
Floor heating | £800 – £1500 | Not visible, heat evenly distributed in the room |
