What’s Included in That Boiler Price?
When we quote a new boiler, here’s what you’re paying for:
-
Boiler Unit:
£600–£2,500—Ideal Logic C24 (£600) to Greenstar 8000 Life (£2,500+).
-
Labour:
£675+VAT (approx)—our Gas Safe pros fit it right.
-
Extras:
Flue (£100–£200), valves (£20–£60), basic pipework (£50–£150).
-
Disposal:
We haul the old one away—bundled in.
For example, a combi in Stockbridge could come in at around £2700 (approx) — unit, labour, extras sorted.
What Affects New Boiler Costs in Edinburgh?
We’ve learned costs shift based on:
-
Type:
Combis are cheapest—less kit. Conventional needs tanks, hitting £4,500.
-
Size:
24kW for a Leith flat (£1,800), 40kW for a Newington villa (£3,800+).
-
Brand:
We offer Ideal (£600) or Worcester Bosch (£1,200–£2,500)—efficiency vs. budget.
-
Add-Ons:
Smart thermostat (£50–£250), filter (£100–£180)—optional boosts.
We keep labour steady—extras can nudge the price up.
Why Get a New Boiler in Edinburgh?
We see the difference it makes:
-
Savings:
According to the Energy Saving Trust, upgrading from an old G-rated boiler to a modern A-rated model can save £300–£400+ annually on typical household energy bills—though your actual savings depend on usage and current energy prices.
-
Warmth:
94% efficiency—beats 70% relics in Gorgie tenements.
-
Reliability:
Repairs (£120–£750) add up—new starts fresh.
-
Landlords:
All new boiler installations in Scotland require minimum 92% efficiency and A-rating (ErP) since 2018. We fit compliant, high-efficiency boilers that help futureproof your properties ahead of proposed energy efficiency standards.
How Long Does a New Boiler Last?
-
Lifespan:
With annual servicing by Gas Safe engineers, modern A-rated boilers typically last 10–15 years. We’ve seen well-maintained Worcester Bosch units exceed 20 years in Edinburgh homes.
-
Warranty:
Many Worcester Bosch models come with warranties up to 12 years when installed by accredited installers like us (Gas Safe 597760) and serviced annually.
Cheapest New Boiler Options in Edinburgh?
-
Budget Pick:
Ideal Logic C24.
-
Best Value:
