Frequently Asked Questions

❓ How do I know what size radiator to buy for replacement?
Measure your room dimensions and consider insulation. Our calculator does the maths — providing recommended width, height, and type based on modern efficiency standards and your existing pipework.
❓ Can I replace a radiator with a different size?
Yes, but pipe centres must match or be adjusted. Our calculator recommends sizes that either match standard pipe centres (e.g., 1200mm, 1400mm, 1600mm) or suggests professional pipework modification.
❓ Why are modern radiators more efficient?
Modern radiators use convector fins and better water channels, providing 30-40% more heat output for the same size. This means you might need a smaller replacement for the same room temperature.
❓ What is the difference between Type 11, 21, 22, and 33 radiators?
Type 11 = single panel + single convector (low output). Type 21 = double panel + single convector. Type 22 = double panel + double convector (best for most homes). Type 33 = triple panel + triple convector (highest output).
❓ Do I need to change pipework when replacing a radiator?
If the new radiator has the same pipe centre distance (distance between valve connections), no. If different, you may need minor pipework adjustment. Our calculator recommends sizes that match standard pipe centres.
❓ How much can I save by replacing an old radiator?
Upgrading from an old single-panel radiator to a modern Type 22 can reduce energy use by 20-30%, saving £50-150 per year depending on room size and usage.
❓ Does pipe sizing affect radiator replacement?
Yes. Older homes may have 8mm or 10mm microbore pipework which restricts flow. Our pipe flow calculator and water pipe sizing tool can check compatibility before replacement.
❓ Is this calculator really free?
100% free, no signup required. Use unlimited calculations — built by Speedy Jet Plumbers to help UK homeowners replace radiators with confidence.
