How Much Does It Cost to Change a Gas Boiler?

If what happens is that your current boiler no longer works and you are thinking of changing it, the minimum price of acquiring a new one will probably start at around £600 - £2,500.

 

You may also intend to move the boiler if you do not like its current location. The price of this service could range from £250 -  £600.

What is the Cost of Installing a Condensing Boiler?

The most recommended boilers for domestic use are condensing ones. That is why we will discuss the cost of acquiring and installing one of these boilers.

 

Currently, a condensing boiler usually costs between £900 and £2,000. However, the price of some devices can exceed £3,000. Taking this into account, the price of the supply and installation of a condensing boiler could range, on average, between £1,150 and more than £2,500.

 

Although this is an expected price range, it is also possible to find condensing boiler offers for prices from £600 and £700. In the end, the costs of the devices are not excessively high if we compare them with those of electric boilers. However, the installation itself is usually more expensive.

 

In many cases, the best option is to compare several prices of boiler installers since it is possible that they include both the supply and the installation or that, at least, they can advise you so that you make an excellent purchase.

How to Choose the Right Boiler?

It is inevitable to have doubts when purchasing a new boiler. That is why we want to make it easy for you and summarize the main types of boilers. When choosing boilers, you will probably come across many brands. Depending on the model and the power you need, its price can vary considerably.

 

It is common to request the installation of Ideal or Vaillant boilers, as these brands are top-rated. However, there are many other brands that you can trust, such as Alpha, Worcester, and Potterton. Some may sound familiar to you, but if you do not have much experience in the sector, the best thing you can do is let yourself be advised by expert installers.

 

The first step to being able to choose the most suitable boiler is to know the different types that exist in the market. The classification is similar to what we find when we value installation prices for diesel boilers:

 

• Atmospheric gas boilers: These types of boilers acquire the air they need for combustion directly from the room in which they are located.
• Low NOx gas boilers: They are sealed boilers. However, this type of boiler helps reduce the environmental impact of the gases emitted. Its emissions of nitrogen oxides remain at very low levels.
• Condensing gas boilers: They are the most efficient and the most modern. They save up to 30% of the fuel since they reuse the energy of the generated water vapor. To install them, it is necessary to have a drain through which the condensed water can be evacuated.

 

Remember that if you do not plan to install a heating system, it may be enough to install a gas heater. This system allows having sanitary hot water. And if you are looking for a more environmentally friendly solution, you can check biomass boilers.
