System boiler prices start from around £500 and range up to around £2,500. This doesn’t include installation or the hot water tank which a system boiler needs to work.
If you already have a hot water tank that’s great. If you don’t you will need to add this to any new boiler installation costs.
System Boiler Prices – Should you buy one?
In this guide, we’re going to focus on the system boiler. We’ll provide you with a quick reminder of the pros and cons of this type of heating solution.
Then we’re going to provide you with a comprehensive list of system boiler prices from all the main manufacturers. Now you have all the information you need, all in one place.
All types of boilers have some pros and cons so it’s important to be aware of what they are and to be able to balance them out with your requirements, and then we’ll look at new boiler cost further down the page. If you can’t afford a system boiler installation outright, you can always check out boilers on finance to spread the cost of your boiler.
System Boilers Pros
A system boiler can cope when you need hot water from more than one tap at a time. This is because the hot water has already been heated and is currently stored in the hot water cylinder.
Unlike a regular heating system, there’s no need for a cold-water tank because the system boiler is able to pull its supply directly from the mains.
A system boiler has a built-in pump which means that it can pull water from the hot water cylinder and quickly deliver it to wherever you need it. That means no waiting around while the water heats up.
If you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint, then solar power systems are compatible with a system boiler. The perfect way to reduce your energy bill while also reducing the impact on the environment. All system boilers are condensing to are highly efficient.
System Boiler Cons
Hot water is stored in the tank and so if you need a lot of hot water, all at the same time, then you may need to wait until the tanks is refilled before you have a supply of hot water once again.
System boilers work best when your hot water usage has some routine or predictability. This then allows the use of a timer to ensure that you have a full tank of hot water to call on when needed.
System boilers take up space with their need for a hot water cylinder.
It’s essential to ensure that the hot water cylinder is well insulated to prevent the water from cooling down too quickly. Even then, there will be some loss of heat during storage.
With more parts to the system, then it could be argued that there is a greater potential for things to go wrong. That then means that you may need to plan for higher maintenance costs when compared to a combination boiler. If you no longer have a valid warranty, then we strongly suggest taking a look at boiler cover plans to give you peace of mind and to avoid hefty and unexpected repair bills.
A system boiler needs a water supply with a decent level of pressure and so they’re probably not going to be a good choice for areas with a low water pressure. You may also find that you need to upgrade your radiators to cope with the high-water pressure once the water has been heated.
A few thoughts on prices and warranties. The warranties that we’ve listed are all the maximum length of time that’s available, so that means that there may be some qualifying criteria. This might include:
Having the boiler installed by the manufacturer’s engineers
Registering the warranty within a certain period after installation
Ensuring that the boiler is serviced on an annual basis
The fitting of a specific filter or adaption
On the pricing, these are guide prices that we’ve identified through our research. But you may find that you can get special offers and promotions to reduce the price further, especially when you buy as a fixed price package with installation included.
If you want to replace back boiler and you already have a hot water tank, then system boilers can be linked up to this if the hot water cylinder is suitable for use.
You will have to move your actual boiler to somewhere more appropriate in your home but the savings you will be making will be worth it. Most system boilers can also be used in conjunction with a smart thermostat too to help keep energy bills down.
If you have an older system or require a bit of backup, you can also use immersion heaters with system boilers which can be placed in a hot water cylinder to aid the heating of the hot water. These can help in rural parts of the country too if gas or oil boilers are intermittent.
