New Boiler Installation in Birmingham

What you get for the price

Every installation we quote is a complete job, not a boiler on a wall. The prices below include the appliance, a horizontal flue, a wireless room thermostat, a magnetic system filter, chemical cleanser and long-term inhibitor, all fittings, and the Building Regulations notification that goes to your local authority.

• Gas Safe registered engineer on site for the whole install
• Manufacturer warranty registered for you — 5 years on entry models, up to 10 years on Vaillant ecoTEC plus, Worcester Greenstar 4000 and 8000, and 7 years on the Baxi 600
• System cleaned and dosed so the warranty stands up
• Old boiler and packaging taken away
• Building Regulations compliance certificate posted to you

Combi swap or system conversion?

A combi swap means your new boiler goes where the old one was and the pipework is largely reused — the cheapest and quickest option, usually one day.

A conversion means moving from an older system with a hot water cylinder and a tank in the loft over to a single combi. It costs more because we remove the cylinder and tanks, re-run pipework, make good, and rebalance the whole system. Budget two days. For most three-bed houses across Birmingham it is the change that makes the biggest difference to running costs and loft space.

If you have two or more bathrooms and a household that showers at the same time, a combi is often the wrong answer. We will tell you that before you spend money, and quote a system boiler with an unvented cylinder instead.

Which boiler should you actually buy?

We install Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi and Main. There is no single best boiler — there is the right output for your radiator count and the right warranty for how long you plan to stay.

• Baxi/Main Eco Compact and Worcester 1000 — solid budget choice for a flat or small terrace, 5 year warranty.
• Baxi 600 — the best warranty-per-pound on our list at 7 years.
• Worcester 4000 and 8000 — quieter, better hot water performance, worth it in a family home with a power shower.
• Vaillant ecoTEC plus — our pick for larger properties and for anyone who wants parts availability guaranteed for years.

How the job runs

1. Survey. We look at the gas meter and supply pipe, count radiators, check flue routes and water pressure. Fifteen minutes, no charge.
2. Fixed quote. Written, itemised, and it does not move unless you change the scope.
3. Install day. Water and gas off in the morning, back on the same evening for a swap.
4. Handover. We set the controls, run you through the thermostat, register the warranty and leave the paperwork.

Costs that are not in the headline price

We would rather flag these now than surprise you on the day. A gas supply pipe that is undersized for the new boiler's output, a flue that has to be re-routed, a fused spur that needs moving, a system so heavily sludged it needs a power flush before the warranty is valid, or condensate that has to be run to a soil stack — any of these add cost. A survey catches all of them before you commit.

Prices

Prices are estimates and may change after a site inspection. We cover Birmingham and 10 miles from B20 2JS as standard, extending to 50 miles for boiler installations. A travel charge may apply beyond 10 miles.
