Common questions

How much is a new combi boiler fitted?
A straight combi replacement with a mid-range brand typically costs £1,800 to £2,800 supplied and fitted. Premium brands and longer warranties cost more.
Is it worth converting to a combi?
Converting from a system or conventional boiler to a combi removes the tanks and frees up space, but it adds £700 to £1,500 to the job because of the extra pipework and controls.
