COST OF CENTRAL HEATING

The costs of fitting a brand new central heating system in your UK home will vary depending on the size of your property and the number of bedrooms.

Also, it will depend on many heaters or radiators you need.

Other costs to factor in are if you are having a brand new installation or replacing an existing old system which will need ripping out at extra cost.

Average Central Heating Installation Costs

The total costs for installing a new central heating system will depend on the size of your home – a large, four bedroom house will require more radiators and pipework for example than a small two bed flat – but generally, we estimate that the full central heating installation costs will start from £3,000 to £6000 depending on system fitted and if gas or oil heated.

Average sized 2 bedroom house or flat £2900 -£4000

Average sized 3 bedroom semi £4000 -£5000

Average Sized Detached – £5000- £6000

Boiler installation costs

Installing a traditional boiler will usually cost around £1,500 to £1,800 for the boiler and the install, and slightly more for a combi boiler – up to £2,000.

For a full breakdown of boiler installation costs, take a look at our dedicated boiler installation costs guide – new boiler costs.

The overall cost of the boiler may come down if included as part of a full central heating refit.

Radiator installation costs

The total price of radiators can vary depending on the style you buy, with typical prices ranging from around £150 to £250.

If you were replacing a single radiator individually you would also need to calculate in a larger cost for the installation, which would also include bleeding the system – heating engineers will typically charge around £300 a day for a two-man team, but when doing a full system installation, the job will usually be priced as a single cost rather than worked out on a day rate or by the hour.

When doing an entire installation, with several new radiators, it can bring the price down – we would expect the price for new radiators for a three bedroom home to be around £1,000 to £1,200.

Water tank installation costs

Depending on your choice of boiler, you may need a water tank to be installed to supply the system.

This is typically one of the cheaper parts of the process, costing around £200.

Electric central heating installation prices

Electric heating is another option for properties without access to the mains gas network.

You can go for night storage heaters, which store electricity obtained at night-time when prices are cheaper . The stored heat is then used to heat the property throughout the day.

An Electric boiler central heating is also available but bear in mind electric is the most expensive way to heat your home.

Modern storage heaters now come with thermostats and features such as remote wi-fi controls and programmable timers.

You can also buy high heat-retention storage heaters, which are designed to be more efficient than previous kinds.

You will also need more radiators for a larger number of rooms. In fact, you may need more than one radiator in very large rooms. The more radiators you buy and install, the more you would need to pay.

Finally, you will also need to install pipework for heat distribution.

Central heating running costs per hour for different boiler types

Some of the popular sources that can be used for central heating include mains gas, LPG, oil and electricity, which all have different methods of powering your heating system and at a cost difference.
