Most homes in the U.S., U.K. and Europe use boilers or furnaces for heating their households. It’s possible to save energy, by using the same device for warming your house, as well as your hot water. This is called a combi boiler. Despite slightly higher, this specific type of condensing boiler generates hot water for both faucets and your central heating radiators.

Combi boilers prices vary from £600 to £2000 depending on the brand, warranty/insurance, wattage and the exact model. The more rooms and radiators you have, the bigger combi boiler output you need. Here is a comparison of a few sizes to give you an idea on combi boilers prices.

Small houses

A small house, apartment or flat typically requires a combi boiler output between 24 & 27 kW.

Valliant ecoTec Pro NG (24kw) – $744 (typical price)

Detached/Semi Detached mid-size house (28 kW – 34 kW)

Medium houses

Medium size house would need up to 15 radiators, with an estimated output of 28 kW to 34 kW.

Installation costs

A combi boiler is designed to contain all its parts in one compact, neat unit. It is far more energy efficient and takes a lost less time to heat up than older boilers. Hence, it takes a professional engineer just a couple of hours to install. However, this doesn’t mean that its installation is cheap. However, a single unit might be installed within hours, as each model is designed differently. A number of factors can influecnce the radiator installation costs such as: size, the length of the vent blow out waste gasses and the isolation of the piping. However, after this initial system reboot, maintaining and replacing the combi boiler is easy, cheap and quick. The amount of money you save in the long run makes up for the initial cost.

Conclusion

Since combi boilers can be difficult to compare, you need to thoroughly research on which item to purchase before jumping into a buying conclusion. When purchasing a combination boiler, it is worth considering time and money to be saved on installation and piping costs. Compared to traditional boilers there will be a significant amount of savings in the long term, so it is usually worth investing a bit more. After all, consider that an efficient boiler, will both benefit your utility bills and the environment.
