At Deakin’s Heating and Plumbing, we understand that investing in a new boiler is a significant decision for your home. Whether you’re upgrading to improve energy efficiency or replacing an old model, it’s important to understand the costs involved. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you can expect when purchasing and installing a new boiler through us.
Types of Boilers and Estimated Costs
The type of boiler you choose will largely determine the overall cost of the project. Here’s a look at the three most common options available and associated prices.
Combi Boilers (Combination Boilers)
- Boiler cost: £500 – £2,500
- Installation cost: £500 – £1,500
- Total: £1,000 – £4,000
Key Features:
- Ideal for smaller homes or flats, combi boilers provide hot water on demand directly from the mains, without the need for a water cylinder or tank.
- A great space-saving option that’s highly efficient, but they may struggle to supply hot water to multiple outlets simultaneously.
System Boilers
- Boiler cost: £500 – £2,500
- Installation cost: £500 – £1,500
- Total: £1,000 – £4,000
Key Features:
- System boilers are perfect for homes with larger hot water demands as they store hot water in a separate cylinder.
- These boilers allow multiple hot water outlets to run at the same time, making them suitable for homes with more than one bathroom.
Conventional/Regular Boilers
- Boiler cost: £600 – £2,500
- Installation cost: £1,500 – £2,500
- Total: £2,100 – £5,000
Key Features:
- System boilers are perfect for homes with larger hot water demands as they store hot water in a separate cylinder.
- These boilers allow multiple hot water outlets to run at the same time, making them suitable for homes with more than one bathroom.
Installation Factors to Consider
Boiler installation costs can vary depending on the complexity of the job and your location. At Deakin’s Heating and Plumbing, we provide a transparent, no-obligation quote that includes everything you need for a seamless installation. Key factors that may influence the final price include:
- Labour costs: Generally ranging from £500 to £2,500 depending on the boiler type and your location.
- Upgrading pipework: In some cases, we may need to upgrade older pipework to accommodate a new, more efficient boiler. This can add £200 – £500 to the total cost.
- Flue replacement: A new flue system may be required, costing between £100 and £500 depending on the complexity.
- Thermostat and smart controls: Upgrading to a smart thermostat (such as Hive or Nest) can improve efficiency and control, typically costing between £150 – £300.
- Boiler relocation: If you’re looking to move your boiler to a new location, additional work on piping and wiring may add £500 – £1,500.
Additional Costs and Considerations
At Deakin’s Heating and Plumbing, we pride ourselves on offering an end-to-end service. This includes evaluating whether additional work is required to optimise your new boiler’s performance:
- Power flushing: Over time, your heating system may accumulate sludge and debris, affecting its efficiency. Power flushing can improve the performance of your new boiler and costs between £300 – £700.
- Magnetic filter installation: To further protect your system, we often recommend installing a magnetic filter, which traps dirt and sludge, prolonging the life of your boiler. This typically costs £100 – £200.
- Asbestos removal: If asbestos is found near your old boiler or pipework, removal may be necessary, and this can range from £500 – £2,000, depending on the extent of the job.
Energy Efficiency and Savings
Choosing a new, energy-efficient boiler can have a significant impact on your energy bills. Modern condensing boilers, like the ones we install, are designed to capture more heat from the fuel they burn, offering efficiency rates over 90%. If you’re upgrading from an older model, this could translate into savings of £200 – £350 per year on your energy bills.
To maximise energy efficiency, we also offer the installation of smart thermostats, which allow you to control your heating remotely and tailor your usage based on your lifestyle.
Warranties and Peace of Mind
When you install a new boiler through Deakin’s Heating and Plumbing, you’ll benefit from extended warranties offered by top manufacturers. We work with trusted brands like Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, and Ideal Boilers, known for their reliability and long-term performance. Warranties typically range from 2 to 12 years, depending on the brand and model you choose.
We’ll ensure you receive a warranty that covers both parts and labour, giving you peace of mind for years to come. Plus, we offer annual servicing options to help you maintain your warranty and keep your boiler running smoothly.
