Top Reasons to Replace Your Boiler
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.
A new boiler is not something you buy every day and technology has changed massively over this period, so a little research is needed. 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.
Swapping an Old System to a Combi Boiler
Swapping an old system boiler to a combi boiler can be very beneficial too as they don’t cost as much to install as they run both the heating and hot water from one central unit.
In the UK a new gas combi boiler is fast becoming the preferred household choice of boiler and it has greatly increased in popularity over the years. In fact over 50% of all boilers that are installed today in the UK are now combination boilers. In some countries in the EU installations are up to 70% due to its incredible benefits in terms of efficiency, space saving and installation costs.

√ These systems DO NOT require the old water cylinders and offer the benefit of not having the need for a separate tank to be installed in terms of both space and cost of installation.

How Much is a New Combi Boiler?

Take for example you have an old system boiler that needs replacing with a combi boiler you may need to upgrade the gas supply, move the pipework to suit your new requirements, this can add costs as you can imagine in labour and the parts required.
