Heat Only Boilers Brands & Prices…

Heat Only or common boilers cost from approx £500 to £2000 dependent on the brand and the size of the model etc.

These common boilers, are a traditional domestic boiler type, which were often found in all homes in the UK that were  built before 1970.

Where are they located?

Heat-only boilers directly provide heating and hot water from a storage cylinder typically located in the airing cupboard. They are fed by a cold water cistern from above, usually in the attic, via gravity. This boiler system requires a reasonable amount of space as the expansion cistern is separate. Prices for these boilers vary depending on the brand, with models starting at around £500 and reaching up to £2000 for certain makes and models.

Heat-Only Boiler Brands & Prices…

1. WORCESTER BOSCH GREENSTAR UTILITY 50 – 70 (OIL) – Typical Price – £1,700 – £1,900
2. W-B GREENSTAR FS 42CDI REGULAR – Typical Price – £1,500-£1700

5. VAILLANT ECOTEC PLUS 415 – Typical Price – £600-£800

Heat Only Boilers Prices and Sizes

The cost of your heat-only boiler is influenced by factors such as the size of your house and the required fuel type. Ideal for larger homes, these boilers boast a high flow rate, meeting substantial hot water demands, allowing multiple taps or showers to be used simultaneously. However, they necessitate more space compared to other boiler types like combis. Their hot water usage is constrained by the cylinder’s size; once depleted, you’ll need to wait for reheating.
