If you have an older boiler model, a boiler replacement will make a great investment. Newer boiler models run at an efficiency of over 90% – that is 20% more than older boiler models.This means installing a new boiler will help reduce costs in your home. In addition, new boiler models are also more environment friendly.
For example, this old Potterton Puma 80 is 13 years old. Our customer complained that it no longer gives hot water. In a case like this, it is smarter to put your money into buying a new boiler that spending it on boiler repairs, knowing that this old boiler will breakdown again soon.
Boiler Installation Quote
Remember that boiler installations must be done only by a trained engineer. Make sure that you only hire qualified personnel, and check that they are gas safe registered. Get your boiler installation quote from your installation service provider.
Here are some estimates on how much it would cost. Remember that costs vary from provider to provider, with other factors affecting costs such as location. Expect a boiler installation quote to change – typically increase – over the years:
- Replacing an existing gas condensing combination boiler in the same position as the old one – COST: around £540 – £660
- This includes removing the old boiler and disposing of it before installing the new one
- Old heating systems may need a mechanical flush. You will be charged around £510. A mechanical flush is the cleaning of the heating system by flushing chemicals through the pipes using an external pump.
- Replacing a gas non-condensing boiler with a condensing one, in the same position – COST: around £640 to £770
- The engineer will check the gas supply first, position the flue and remove and replace it (if needed), and then install the new boiler.
- If pipes need to be moved, expect an additional fee of around £200 – £300
- An old system may also need a mechanical flush.
- Installing a new gas condensing boiler in a different location and upgrading your heating system by adding radiator valves and changing the controls – COST: around £1,140 – £1440
- This job includes complex plumbing work like the adding of a condensate drain and routing of the flue.
- A chemical flush is needed, which will cost around £200. A chemical flush is the process of removing debris from the heating system using cleaning chemicals.
- Trading in a gas heat-only boiler for a condensing combination boiler – COST: around £1,440 (basic job only)
- Your engineer will convert your open-vented system to a sealed system.
- The work will include removing obsolete equipment (i.e. hot water storage cylinder, feed and expansion tanks, cold water storage tank)
- Expect additional costs for re-plumbing and the adding of a condensate drain.
These numbers are simply industry estimates and are not actual boiler installation quote (s). Prices change and vary. Call RJ Gas so we can give you an accurate boiler installation quote and discuss the work needed.
