Boiler Installation Prices in Bournemouth and Poole
Boiler installations prices in Bournemouth and Poole vary between £999-4000 depending on the project scope and the location. Typically installers will charge slightly more for Poole residents. Although at Senior Plumbing and heating we keep our prices consistent throughout.
We would typically suggest to stay clear of any installers which offer very cheap prices, as often they won’t have had the experience to make sure your boiler is going to be running as efficient as possible, which will only cost you more in the long run.
To give a rough ballpark of installation costs:
System or Regular boilers are going to be similar prices, but the job will vary greatly depending on the requirements. Typically they will range anywhere between £1,700 – £4,000.
- Budget combi installations: £999-£1400
- Mid range combi installations: £1400-2200
- Premium combi installations: £2200-3400
System or Regular boilers are going to be similar prices, but the job will vary greatly depending on the requirements. Typically they will range anywhere between £1,700 – £4,000.
What Impacts the Installation Costs?
- Flue exit – If you have a round horizontal flue, then you might not have a significant additional cost. If, however, your home requires a vertical flue or you need to brick up a square flue, then the costs might go up. If your project involves a flue alteration, then the cost in Bournemouth and Poole is likely to range between £300 – £500 depending on the scope.
- If a replacement is taking place – prices are likely to go up considering the labour your engineers will require in pulling down the previous boiler and installing the new one.
- A boiler conversion – this could be costly, especially if the project involves decommissioning the previous boiler to install a different one. In this case, a new flue might have to be installed and some alterations involving the plumbing such as the feed tanks will have to be made.
- Hot water cylinder installation – If you are upgrading from a Combi boiler to a Conventional or Regular boiler, then you might need a hot water cylinder for storage. Hot water cylinders in Bournemouth and Poole start from £300 with premium cylinders starting at £500. In both towns, it is very rare to find a cylinder priced above £1000.
