How much does a REPLACEMENT BOILER COST?

Time to get a new boiler? These are the things you need to know before you invest

If the time has come to replace your boiler, it’s not all bad news. A new boiler can be more efficient than older models, so you may save money in the long run thanks to lower running costs. It could also be safer and mean you spend less on maintenance.

Whatever boiler you buy, be sure to use a reputable installer to carry out all works. And remember, a cheaper deal isn’t always the best option, especially when you consider that boilers need to last a long time to justify their cost.

What boiler should I pick?

Choose the brand and model that suits your needs and tastes. Some cost more up front but may last longer. Another price consideration is ongoing maintenance costs – some brands may offer deals that include annual checks in the price.

What size do I need?

Choose the size in kilowatts, based on the size of your home and its insulation levels. The bigger you go, the more

A system boiler, which uses a tank to keep hot water, is designed for larger homes requiring a constant supply of hot water across the property. In this case, more space is needed and there are more parts to replace. Assuming you need to change only the boiler unit, the costs can be fairly straightforward. The water cylinder can cost between £900 and £1,300 depending on its capacity.
