If you need to triple the size of your radiators for a heat pump installation, then your radiators are inadequate even with a gas boiler. They’re probably very old, not at all efficient and ought to be replaced anyway.

Worst case in a UK home is likely to be a 2.5x increase, but don’t forget that in many cases that can be achieved by using double or triple panelled radiators with convector fins.
