New boiler installation from only £1699
Why Replace Your Boiler?
Modern boilers are far more energy-efficient than older models, which means lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint. If your boiler is over 10 years old, prone to breakdowns, or not providing sufficient hot water, it might be time to consider an upgrade. Boilers lose efficiency as they age, and an outdated model could cost you more in energy bills than a newer, A-rated condensing boiler.
Benefits of a New Boiler
A new boiler provides several benefits, including
Increased Efficiency
Fewer breakdowns reduce repair costs and ensure consistent heating and hot water supply.
Reliability
By consuming less fuel, a modern boiler can reduce household carbon emissions significantly, which is a step toward more sustainable energy usage.
Size Matters
Today’s combi boilers are smaller and ideal for limited spaces, freeing up valuable storage in your home.
Smart Thermostat Integration
Many new boilers are compatible with smart thermostats, allowing you to control your heating remotely and improve energy efficiency.
Cost of a New Boiler
The boiler replacement cost can vary depending on the type, brand, and specific installation requirements. Here’s a general estimate
Combi Boilers
Typically, installation costs range from £1,699 to £3,000, suitable for smaller homes.
System Boilers
Generally, it costs between £2,000 and £4,000, ideal for homes with high hot water demand.
Conventional Boilers
Starting around £2,500, these are best suited for more significant properties with a separate hot water cylinder.
While the upfront cost can be significant, the savings on energy bills and fewer repair needs make this a worthwhile investment over time.
-
The average lifespan of a boiler is about 10-15 years. Regular maintenance can help extend this, but older boilers tend to be less efficient and more prone to issues as they age.
-
Common signs include unusual noises, frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, and inadequate heating. Boilers that are over 10 years old or rated below A for efficiency are also prime candidates for replacement.
-
Key factors include your home’s size, hot water needs, existing heating system, and whether you need space-saving options. It’s also worth considering compatibility with smart thermostats for added convenience and control.
-
On average, a boiler replacement costs between £1,699 and £3,000, depending on the type and installation requirements. Costs may vary for larger properties or if additional upgrades like new controls or a system flush are required.
-
Most boiler replacements take a day or two, especially for like-for-like swaps. However, switching to a different boiler type or relocating your boiler may require additional time.
-
An A-rated boiler can save you up to 30% on your energy bills compared to older models, especially if your current boiler is a G-rated or lower efficiency model.
