A boiler replacement can cost between £1,500 to £3,000, which may not be feasible to pay upfront. Fortunately, you can easily opt for a monthly finance plan to cover the cost. This financing option allows you to spread payments over a period that aligns with your budget, whether it’s 2 years, 5 years, or even a decade.
