New Boiler Price

The new boiler price typically refers to the price of the boiler unit itself, before installation is factored in. Combi boilers are generally the most affordable option, with mid-range models priced between £700 and £1,200, while high-end models can reach £2,000+. System boilers, which are suitable for homes with higher hot water demands, usually range from £900 to £1,500, depending on output and brand. Conventional (heat-only) boilers tend to fall in a similar bracket, typically costing between £800 and £1,400. If you're considering an oil boiler, expect prices to start around £1,200, with premium models exceeding £2,500.



Cost To Replace Boiler

It's important to remember that the boiler replacement costs can rise significantly when installation is included. The cost to supply & install a boiler varies depending on complexity, but a straightforward combi-to-combi replacement usually ranges from £1,800 to £2,500 for the full job, while system upgrades or relocating a boiler can cost upwards of £3,000. When comparing new boiler prices, always consider efficiency ratings, warranty length, and aftercare service to ensure long-term value.

Cost Of Replacing Boiler With Combi Boiler

Your boiler replacement cost includes both the boiler unit and all labour required to safely remove your old boiler and professionally install the new one. Prices can vary widely depending on the type of system you're replacing and what you’re upgrading to. Here are some common boiler swap scenarios with typical costs:

 

 

 

Each of these swaps has different labour requirements, and the cost to install a boiler increases with complexity. Always ensure your quote includes a full system flush, magnetic filter, new controls (such as a wireless or smart thermostat), and all relevant safety certification. Choosing an experienced installer is key to making sure your system is not only compliant but efficient and future-proof.

  • Combi to Combi: This is the most straightforward swap and typically costs £1,800–£2,500. The boiler is replaced in the same location with minimal changes to pipework, flue, or controls.
  • System to Combi: Replacing a system boiler (which uses a separate hot water cylinder) with a combi involves removing the cylinder and modifying pipework. This can cost between £2,400–£4,000+ , depending on access and location.
  • Heat Only to Combi: A popular upgrade in older homes, this swap involves removing a cold water tank and hot water cylinder, converting the system to mains pressure. Expect prices from £2,500 to over £3,500+, depending on the complexity and whether new pipework or flue routes are needed.
  • Back Boiler to Combi: This is one of the most complex replacements, as back boilers are often located behind fireplaces. Removing them safely and rerouting new pipework for a combi system can push costs to £3,000–£4,500+.
  • Combi to System: Rare but sometimes necessary in homes with multiple bathrooms and high hot water demand. Installation can cost £2,800–£5,000+, including the installation of a hot water cylinder.

Gas Boiler Prices

Gas boiler cost varies based on the type, output, brand, and efficiency rating. Entry-level combi gas boilers typically start from £500 to £700, while mid-range models from trusted brands like Ideal or Baxi usually fall between £750 and £1,400. Premium models from manufacturers like Worcester Bosch or Vaillant can exceed £1,500, but often come with longer warranties and better efficiency.

If your home has access to mains gas, a gas boiler is almost always the best-value heating option—both in terms of installation cost and day-to-day running costs.



Gas Boiler Cost

Why Gas Boilers Are the Best Option

Lower Installation Costs

Compared to oil or electric systems, gas boilers are quicker and cheaper to install, especially if you're replacing an existing gas boiler. A straightforward gas combi boiler replacement typically costs between £1,800 and £2,500, including installation, controls, and safety certification. This all is determined by if you have access to gas where your property is. Most countryside houses or farms usually don't have access to gas which leads to a different discussion of LPG or Oil.

Lower Running Costs

Mains gas is currently the cheapest fossil fuel available to UK households. As of 2025, heating your home with gas costs significantly less per kilowatt-hour (kWh) than electricity or LPG. This means your monthly energy bills are generally lower with a modern, energy-efficient gas boiler—especially if it's an A-rated condensing model.




Reliable and Efficient

Modern gas boilers are compact, quiet, and over 90% efficient, converting most of the fuel into usable heat. Combination (combi) boilers provide heating and hot water on demand, eliminating the need for water tanks or cylinders and saving valuable space in smaller homes.

Widely Supported and Easy to Maintain

Gas boilers are the most common type of heating system in the UK, which means parts, servicing, and support are widely available. Most Gas Safe engineers are fully qualified to install and maintain gas boilers, keeping repair costs low and response times fast.

How Much To Move A Boiler

Move Boiler Cost

The cost to move a boiler depends on how far you're relocating it and whether you're upgrading the system at the same time. If you're simply moving the same boiler to a new location, such as from the kitchen to the utility room, prices typically start from £900 to £1,200, covering new pipework, flue adjustments, and labour. However, if you're moving the boiler and replacing it with a new model, the cost usually increases to £2,500–£3,500+, depending on the type of boiler being installed. In cases where you're relocating or removing a hot water cylinder, such as when converting from a system boiler to a combi, expect costs to rise to £3,000 or more, due to additional plumbing work and an extra day in time it may take in addition to the boiler installation. Every move requires a Gas Safe engineer, and final pricing depends on access, boiler type, and how far services like gas and water need to be rerouted.

How Much To Fit A Boiler Labour Only

If you’ve already purchased a boiler and just need it professionally installed, the labour-only cost to fit a boiler generally ranges from £700 to £1,250, depending on the complexity of the job. A straightforward combi-to-combi swap in the same location will be at the lower end of the scale, while installations that require flue adjustments, gas pipe upgrades, or electrical work will push costs higher. Labour-only installations typically include the removal of the old boiler, fitting and connecting the new unit, testing, and commissioning the system to ensure it’s safe and efficient. However, you’ll need to supply all materials, including the boiler, flue kit, filters, thermostat, and any pipework needed. Make sure your installer is Gas Safe registered, and that they provide a Building Regulations certificate once the job is completed.

 

Please note that some engineers may decline to install a boiler that was purchased a long time ago or if there is uncertainty regarding its condition or origin.

Oil Fired Boiler Replacement Cost

The cost of replacing an oil fired boiler usually starts at  £3,500 and goes upwards of £6,500, depending on the boiler type, size, and complexity of the installation. Oil boilers tend to be more expensive than gas or electric systems because they require an external oil storage tank, longer pipe runs, and specialist installation. They’re most commonly used in rural homes or off-grid properties without access to mains gas.

There are two main types of oil boilers:

  • Oil Combi Boilers – These provide heating and hot water on demand, with no need for a separate hot water cylinder. Best for smaller homes or properties with 1 bathroom.
  • Conventional & Heat Only Oil Boilers – These store hot water in a tank and are ideal for larger homes with higher hot water demand, such as properties with multiple bathrooms.

Cost To Replace Oil Boiler

  • Typical replacement cost: £3,000 – £8,000+ (Heat only Boilers usually are around £2,500-£3,500)
  • Best for: Rural homes not connected to the gas grid
  • How it works: Runs on heating oil stored in an external tank; available as combi or system boilers.
  • Installation notes: Needs space for the oil tank and regular fuel deliveries.
Home Size Oil Combi Size Oil Combi Cost (Unit) Oil Combi Cost (Installed)
1 Bathroom 1-2 Bedroom 18kW - 20kW £1,500 - £3,000 £3,000 - £6,000
2-3 Bathroom 3-4 Bedroom 21kW - 32kW £1,500 - £3,500 £3,000 - £6,500
Larger Homes & Buildings 32kW+ £2,000 - £4,500 £4,000 - £8,000

Other Fuel Options

If the oil boiler replacement cost is too high for your budget, there are alternative heating systems worth considering:

  • LPG Boilers – Cheaper to install than oil but higher cost to run. A  good option for off-grid homes.
  • Electric Boilers – Ideal for small homes or flats, with lower installation costs (but higher running costs).
  • Air Source Heat Pumps – A renewable alternative for well-insulated homes, with long-term energy savings and grant support available.

Choosing the right heating system depends on your home size, hot water needs, and whether you’re connected to the gas grid.



Cost To Replace Electric Boiler

  • Typical replacement cost: £1,500 – £2,500+
  • Best for: Flats and small homes with no access to gas or oil
  • How it works: Uses electricity to heat water for central heating and taps.
  • Pros & cons: Lower installation costs, but higher running costs unless paired with solar or off-peak tariffs.
Electric Boiler Cost
Home Size Electric Boiler Cost (Unit) Electrical Boiler Cost (Installed)
1 Bathroom, 1-2 Bedroom £600 - £2,000 £1,800 - £4,000
3-4 Bedroom, 2-3 Bathroom £1,200 - £3,000 £2,400 - £5,000

Commercial Boiler Installation

Commercial Boiler Cost

Commercial boiler installation is essential for buildings that have higher heating and hot water demands than a standard home. You will usually need a commercial boiler in places like offices, schools, hotels, warehouses, care homes, and large flat complexes. These larger boilers typically range from 50kW to 500kW+, and are built to heat multiple rooms, large spaces, and support constant hot water usage.

The cost of commercial boiler installation varies depending on the size of the system, type of fuel (gas, oil, or electric), and how complex the installation is. On average, prices range from £5,000 to £50,000 and even more when more equipment is needed. This is to fully supply and fit, including the boiler, labour, flue systems, pipework, and safety testing.

Because of the scale and technical requirements, commercial boiler installations must be carried out by qualified engineers with commercial Gas Safe (or OFTEC for oil systems) certification. Proper installation ensures your building meets safety regulations, runs efficiently, and avoids costly downtime.

If you're upgrading an existing plant room or installing a commercial boiler in a new building, working with an experienced, accredited installer is key to getting reliable performance and long-term energy savings.

Due to the complexity and variation of commercial plumbing systems, accurate pricing requires detailed calculations and an in-person assessment to ensure all requirements are properly accounted for.
