Replacing old Boiler costs.

[dnpark38]

Would I be right in thinking changing an older type boiler with a new boiler of the old way of doing central heating to supply and fit would be £1000'ish?
Now the adverts that appear in my Facebook are all talking about condensing boilers and saving on gas but look as if would cost £3000 to £4000.
I'm wondering if the extra money will be covered by the saving on gas?
I do like the idea of just a simple boiler change and not having the whole house messed up with changes to pipework etc.

You can’t even buy a boiler and flue for 1k

Depends on the boiler. @dnpark38 - what type of boiler/system do you currently have?

 

[dnpark38]

Now an Ideal Elan2 RS50 advised present one is Ideal Logic Heat H15 @CBW
@lightning Approx price then?

So looking at a Logic 15, is in the region of £1k just for the boiler, not counting any upgrade of pipes or pipework alterations.

I don't think you can get a non-condensing boiler these days. But the only extra you need is somewhere to run the condensate.

The present Ideal Elan has given excellent service sad to hear you think present one not up to much.

Ive come across plumbers with youtube channels talking about £2,000 to £2,500 to fit a direct replacement

but any prices Ive heard about in my area (Sussex) the price is more like £3,000 to £4,000

if current building regs are followed and a full power flush is done -that takes a fair while to do and prob costs around £500

You could stick your details into boxt and get an idea of price (its by no means a recommendation)

Note: Im not a heating engineer, so could be completely wrong

 

[dnpark38]

Yes have just tried BOXT and similar sites Unknown to me names are from £2500 for a combi and removal cylinder and feeder tanks and rearrange ed piping, with the known names around £3500 all in fixed prices.
With some clarification if Cylinder/feed tanks are taken away.
One firm wants full payment with order, a bit off putting, others do not state terms of payment prior to order.

PS.
They all say they are Combi boilers. No mention of Condensing boilers, I'm wondering why?
