How Much Does a New Boiler Cost?

A new boiler from PropertyHeat typically costs £1,800 to £4,000. The price depends on the type of boiler you need, your existing heating system and how complex the installation is. Ask for a tailored quote, check what it includes, and compare the guarantee as well as the price.

If your boiler is on its way out, the first question is usually what a new one will cost. The honest answer is that it depends on your home, so online prices rarely tell the whole story. Here is what actually affects the price, and what to look for when you compare quotes.

What a New Boiler Costs

At PropertyHeat, a new boiler installation typically costs between £1,800 and £4,000. That is a wide range because no two installs are the same. We provide a tailored quotation for each property, with options to suit different budgets.

What Affects the Price

Three things make the biggest difference to what you pay.

• The type of boiler: The right choice depends on your home and how you use hot water. Combi, system and regular boilers suit different setups, and the wrong type can leave you paying for something that does not fit.
• Your existing heating system: What is already in place affects how much work is needed, including the pipework and any cylinders or tanks in the property.
• The complexity of the installation: A straight swap in the same position is a different job to moving a boiler to another room or changing the type of system.

What to Check in a Quote

The cheapest price is not always the best value, so check these before you decide.

• What is included: Make sure the quote spells out labour, materials and VAT, so you can compare like with like.
• The guarantee: Ask what guarantee covers the labour as well as the boiler. Our labour has a 12-month workmanship guarantee, and materials are covered by the manufacturer's warranty where applicable.
• Who is doing the work: All gas work must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. It is worth knowing who will actually turn up.
• How long the quote lasts: Ours are valid for 14 days from the date of issue.

Repair or Replace?

A new boiler is not always the right answer. If the fault is small and the boiler has plenty of life left, a repair may make far more sense. We will give you an honest view either way. Our boiler repairs typically cost £100 to £1,000, depending on the fault and the parts needed, and regular boiler servicing can help extend the working life of the boiler you already have.
