It’s not just about the box on the wall. Edinburgh’s unique housing stock, from Victorian tenements to 1970s bungalows, dictates the final price.

1. The Boiler Brand & Model (The Engine)

• Budget (£600 unit cost): Ideal Logic C24. Good for rentals, 92% efficient.

2. Flue Location (The “Tenement Tax”)

• Horizontal Flue (Standard): Goes straight out the wall behind the boiler. Cheapest option.

• Vertical Flue (Expensive): Common in top-floor flats in New Town or Marchmont. Requires roof access and extra flue extensions.

• Scaffolding: If your flue exits high on a gable end, safety regulations may require scaffolding, which can add £400-£800 to the job.

3. Pipework Upgrades Many older Edinburgh properties still run on 15mm gas pipes. Modern high-efficiency boilers often require 22mm pipework to function safely. Upgrading this supply from your meter adds to the labour time.
