How Much Does a New Boiler Cost in Burnley?

A new boiler in Burnley and East Lancashire starts from £1,900 + VAT supplied and fitted. The price depends on the boiler type and brand, whether it stays in the same place, and any upgrades your system needs. A free quote, after a home survey by a Gas Safe registered engineer, is the only way to get an accurate, fixed price.

"How much is a new boiler?" is a fair question. The honest answer is that it depends on your home, your current system and the boiler that suits you. I've been in the trade for over 20 years, including more than 12 years at British Gas, and in that time I've learned that a price you can trust only comes from looking at the job properly. Here's what goes into the cost of a new boiler in Burnley and across East Lancashire, so you know what to expect before we come out.

What a New Boiler Costs

For most homes in and around Burnley, Padiham, Nelson, Colne and Accrington, a new boiler supplied and fitted starts from £1,900 + VAT. That covers the boiler itself and the labour to remove the old one, fit the new one and get it commissioned.

Where your price ends up comes down to a handful of things, which we'll go through below. We'd rather be clear up front than give a low headline figure that grows once the work starts.

What Affects the Price

No two installations are quite the same. These are the main things that move the price up or down.

• The type of boiler: Combi, system and regular boilers all work differently. A combi heats water on demand, while system and regular boilers work with a hot water cylinder. The right one depends on your home and how much hot water you use.
• The brand and model: Boilers vary in price, and so do their manufacturer warranties. Depending on the boiler, the warranty can be anywhere from 5 to 12 years.
• Where the boiler goes: Fitting the new boiler in the same place as the old one is usually the simplest job. Moving it means extra pipework, and sometimes a new flue route.
• The state of your system: Older pipework, or a system that hasn't been looked after, may need some work so the new boiler runs as it should.
• Changing system type: Swapping from a regular boiler with tanks to a combi, for example, involves more work than a like-for-like replacement.

Why a Survey Comes First

We don't price a boiler over the phone without seeing it, because guessing helps nobody. When we come out, we look at your current boiler and pipework, where the boiler sits, how the flue runs and how you use your heating and hot water.

Then we talk you through the options in plain English and give you a fixed price. If a cheaper option will do the job just as well, we'll say so. You'll know exactly what you're paying for before any work is booked in.

What's Included

When we quote for a new boiler, the price covers the whole job, done properly.

• A home survey: To make sure the boiler we recommend is the right fit for your home.
• Removing the old boiler: We take it out and dispose of it for you.
• Fitting the new boiler: With neat, properly run pipework, carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer (registration number 952222).
• Commissioning: We check the boiler is working safely and efficiently, and show you how to use the controls before we leave.
• Warranty registration: We can register the manufacturer warranty on your behalf.

A deposit is taken when your installation is booked in, and we'll explain exactly how payment works when we give you your quote.

Repair or Replace?

A new boiler isn't always the answer. Plenty of boilers can be put right with a repair, and if yours can, we'll tell you. Equally, if a boiler keeps breaking down and the repairs are adding up, we'll say honestly if it's time to replace it.

Either way, the decision is yours. Our job is to give you the facts so you can make it with confidence.
