Everything You Need to Know About Installing a New Boiler When Yours Breaks
When your boiler breaks and eventually lets you down after many years of service you are often left wondering how much does a new boiler cost.

The actual cost of the boiler is often dwarfed by the additional parts and installation costs needed. A boiler replacement can cost anything from £1800 to £6000 depending on the size of your home, your family needs and the installation requirements.
A new combi boiler is often the way forward and as these are extremely energy efficient and the good new is these new A Rated technology will save you money. An old G rated boiler was only 50% efficient so it literally wasted 50p in every £ that you spend on fuel. A Rated boiler is 98% energy efficient so it won’t waste your cash, so by simply swapping your boiler to a new A Rated boiler will reduce your bills massively.
Adding smart controls is another great move as you can regulate the fuel you are burning and ensure you are not wasting your hard-earned cash.
