How much does a new boiler cost?

Typical UK prices for a new combi, system, conventional and oil boiler in 2026, what affects the cost, and how to spread it with finance.

A new boiler is one of the bigger costs in running a home, so it helps to know what to expect before you get quotes. This guide sets out typical UK price ranges, what makes a job cost more or less, and how to spread the cost.

Every home is different. We survey the property first and then give you a fixed written price, so the figures below are a guide only.

Typical UK prices for a new boiler, fitted

  • Like-for-like combi boiler swap: around £1,800 to £3,500
  • System boiler replacement: around £1,800 to £5,000
  • Conventional (regular) boiler replacement: around £1,800 to £4,500
  • Converting a regular or system boiler to a combi: around £3,000 to £5,700
  • Oil boiler replacement: around £3,000 to £6,000

These ranges are taken from national price guides published by Heatable and Fantastic Services in autumn 2026.

What affects the price

  • The type and output of the boiler your home needs
  • Whether it is a straight swap or a conversion, for example removing a hot water cylinder and loft tanks
  • Moving the boiler to a new position
  • The flue route and any extra flue components
  • Upgrading gas pipework to meet current standards
  • Cleaning the system, for example a chemical or power flush
  • Controls, such as a smart thermostat
  • A magnetic system filter to protect the new boiler

Questions about boiler costs

How much does a new combi boiler cost?

National guides currently put a like-for-like combi swap at roughly £1,800 to £3,500 fitted. The exact price depends on the boiler, the flue, any pipework changes and the controls you choose.

Why does converting to a combi cost more?

Removing a hot water cylinder and loft tanks, rerouting pipework and sometimes moving the boiler all add labour and materials, so conversions typically cost more than a straight swap.

Can I spread the cost?

Yes. We offer finance through TradeHelp, including 0% interest free options over 12 or 24 months, subject to application and status.
