Cost to buy and install new combi or system boilers

See the trade cost for combi & system boilers and how much local heating companies near you will charge for installing your new boiler (whether it is a like for like combi swap or installing a system boiler in a new location).

What are combi boilers?

Combi boilers (combination boilers) are compact small boilers which both heat water directly which comes out of your hot taps and also send hot central heating water to your radiators to heat your home.

How do combi boilers work?

To get your radiators hot the system water in your home's radiators and pipes is circulated using a pump through the combi boiler’s main heat exchanger which is heated by a gas burner.

When you turn on a hot water tap or shower a flow sensor tells the combi boiler’s diverter valve to redirect the heated system water internally through a second ‘plate to plate’ heat exchanger which indirectly heats up mains water and in seconds sends the now hot mains water to your hot tap or shower.

Why are combi boilers so popular?

No space needed for hot water cylinders or water tanks, low cost, range of out-puts to suit all properties, simple to install, maintain - all persuasive reasons why combi boilers are the number one choice when UK homeowners buy a new boiler.

What are system boilers and how do they work?

System boilers are a great solution for large family homes as they provide a constant supply of hot water for baths, showers and washing up. A system boiler works by filling a large, insulated storage cylinder with hot water so there is a constant supply of hot water ready to be used at any time.

Boiler installation steps

There is more to getting a new boiler than choosing a brand, boiler type and then getting a gas safe registered engineer to fit your new boiler to the wall.

  • Powerflush existing system using old boiler to clean out corrosion debris. The existing radiators and pipes will have corrosion debris in them which needs to be cleaned out so it doesn’t clog up the highly efficient low water content (ie very small holes) heat exchanger in your new boiler
  • Remove old boiler – say goodbye to your old faithful boiler (hanky handy for tears). Your old boiler may have been bigger, had pipes running in different directions and so some making good of cabinets or walls may be required.
  • New location or configuration will require adapting pipes, flue to suit new boiler. Different boilers have pipes coming and going from different positions and so some local alignment of pipes and flue may be required.
  • Fit new boiler. The big event….up goes the new shiny white box onto the frame and make all the connections (power supply, gas, mains water in, flow and return pipes, hot water out, flue, pressure relief pipe….anything else?).
  • Recommend extras to customer; corrosion debris filter, limescale inhibitor, smart controls, system corrosion inhibitor, bleed radiators, top up system pressure
  • Commission whole central heating system, explain to customer how to top up pressure, bleed radiators, set timer/thermostat/controls
  • Register new boiler for Gas Safe Register and manufacturer warranty
