New boiler costs

9 replies

Our boiler packed up a few weeks ago and we have just had a quote for a new one, £4000. Ordinary has boiler, not combi.

That includes installation and VAT, 16 TRVs, alter pipes in airing cupboard. House is 5 bed.
No new controls or thermostat though.

Has anyone had a new boiler installed recently?

Yes we just got a new one for 2k, and it's a decent one for a large 3/4 bed house (some we were quoted the same price for were better suited to flats). I think that sounds too high and you need to get a couple more quotes.

Our combi was £4K a few months ago. It’s a big one for a 4 bed.

We didn’t get a new thermostat either but I got Hive in the Black Friday sale

Get several quotes. Sounds a lot

One of my kids used Boxt and was pleased with the price and service.

Thank you, I think you've confirmed my thoughts.

I suspect a premium has been added as they can do it before Christmas.
I'll get a few more quotes, we can wrap up for a bit longer.

Who have you the quote?

Local independent company.

Make sure the controls and thermostat are both compatible and up to date enough for the new system. We've just had to replace those a couple of years after the absolute minimum of a replacement boiler was carried out (prior to us buying the house) as the heating failed and they were incompatible.
