How Much Does a New Boiler Cost?
Replacing your boiler is a significant investment, so it is understandable that one of the first things you will want to know is how much it is likely to cost.
At Ubique Heating and Renewables, our new boiler installations start from £1,800. However, every property and heating system is different, so we will need to assess your home before providing an accurate, no-obligation quote.
What Is Included in the Cost of a New Boiler?
The cost of a new boiler installation is not limited to the boiler itself. Your quote may also account for the labour required to complete the installation, the materials needed, any alterations to the pipework and the safe removal of your existing boiler.
A straightforward replacement in the same location will usually cost less than an installation that requires substantial changes to the heating system.
This is why we do not provide a fixed price without first seeing the property. An on-site assessment allows our engineers to understand exactly what is required and provide an honest quote based on the work involved.
What Can Affect the Price of a Boiler Installation?
Several factors can influence the final cost of your new boiler.
The Type of Boiler
Combi, system and regular boilers are designed for different types of properties and heating requirements. The most suitable option will depend on factors such as the size of your home, the number of bathrooms and your hot water usage.
Replacing a boiler with a similar model is generally more straightforward than changing to a completely different type of heating system.
The Size and Output of the Boiler
Your boiler must be powerful enough to heat your property and provide the hot water your household needs. Larger homes with more radiators and bathrooms may require a boiler with a higher output.
Installing a boiler that is too small could leave it struggling to meet demand, while an unnecessarily powerful boiler may not operate as efficiently as it should. Our engineers will recommend an appropriately sized boiler after assessing your property.
The Condition of Your Existing System
The age and condition of your radiators, pipework and other heating components may affect the installation.
Older systems may require additional work to ensure they are safe, reliable and compatible with the new boiler. This could include alterations to the pipework, replacing controls or cleaning the heating system.
The Boiler’s Location
A like-for-like replacement in the same position will normally involve less work than moving the boiler elsewhere.
Relocating a boiler may require new pipework, changes to the flue and additional work to connect the appliance safely. We can discuss the available options and explain how the proposed location may affect the overall cost.
Any Additional Heating Work
Some customers choose to complete other improvements at the same time as their boiler replacement. This might include installing new heating controls, replacing radiators or carrying out work to improve the performance of the central heating system.
Any recommended or optional work will be clearly explained before you decide how to proceed.
Is the Cheapest Boiler Installation Always the Best Option?
The lowest quote is not necessarily the best value.
Your new boiler needs to be suitable for your property, installed correctly and supported by a reliable company that will be available should you need assistance later.
A poorly specified or badly installed boiler could lead to unreliable heating, higher running costs and further expense in the future. It is therefore important to consider the quality of the boiler, the standard of the installation and the experience of the company completing the work.

How Can You Get an Accurate Boiler Quote?

There is no pressure and no guesswork. You will know what has been recommended, why it is suitable and what the installation will involve before making a decision.
