What Affects the Final Cost?

Boiler Type and Brand

Premium brands (Viessmann, Vaillant) cost more upfront but offer longer warranties and often lower running costs. Budget brands (Ideal, Baxi) are reliable and well-supported, and suit many Essex homes perfectly. We'll help you choose based on your priorities and budget.

Installation Complexity

A straight like-for-like swap is the most cost-effective. Additional costs arise if:

• The boiler is being moved to a new location (+£200–£500)
• You're converting from regular to combi (removing tanks/cylinder) (+£300–£600)
• Gas pipework needs upgrading to supply a higher-output boiler (+£100–£500)
• Scaffolding is needed for an external flue in an unusual position (+£100–£300)

Additional Optional Extras

• Smart thermostat (Nest, Hive, Honeywell): £100–£200 fitted
• Thermostatic radiator valves on all radiators: £100–£300
• Power flush (if system is heavily sludged): £350–£700

Finance Options
