Are you in need of a new boiler? Wondering what a new boiler will cost? Or, even struggling to decide whether to replace, repair or service yours? Find all you need to know in this new boiler cost guide.

If you’re exploring new boiler options then chances are yours has failed, is out of warranty, is not performing optimally, or is coming towards the end of its life. With these issues in mind, you should weigh up the cost of repairs versus replacing your boiler with a new boiler and the cost of installation.

The biggest benefit of a new boiler is that it can be greater than 90% efficient, whilst older models can have lower than 50% efficiency. Changing to a new boiler can pay for itself through these improvements in efficiency and reducing your heating bills. This guide outlines the average new boiler installation costs you may incur.

This guide will give you a good idea of how much a new boiler will cost, as well as other costs associated with the job you require.
