The cost of a new combi boiler depends on the size of your home and how many radiators you have. For example, a smaller one-bedroom flat with around five radiators will usually need a lower output boiler, which is typically more affordable. In contrast, a larger detached home with multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, and a higher number of radiators will require a more powerful boiler, which can increase the cost.

At Plumbco Heating, we offer a range of high-efficiency combi boilers to suit all property sizes and budgets. We’re happy to carry out a free home survey anywhere in Bristol and surrounding areas to recommend the right boiler for your home, with transparent pricing and no hidden fees.

In most cases, a new boiler installation with Plumbco Heating takes 1 day. If you’re replacing your old boiler with the same type in the same location, the job is usually straightforward and quicker.

However, if you’re changing boiler types – for example, upgrading from a regular boiler to a combi – or if you’re relocating the boiler to a different part of your home, the installation can take a little longer due to additional work like adjusting pipework and rerouting flues.

Not sure which boiler type is right for your home? Our friendly engineers are happy to talk you through the options during a free home survey, helping you choose the best boiler for your property and budget.

We’ll also give you expert advice on optional extras that can boost energy efficiency, such as Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs) and smart controls, perfect for getting the most out of your new boiler.

To keep your boiler in top condition and your warranty valid, it’s important to have it serviced annually. We offer a range of affordable monthly service care plans that include:

• Annual boiler service

• Repairs with all parts and labour included

• Cover for pipework, controls, and radiators (depending on your plan)

At Plumbco Heating, we keep things simple and transparent, offering both one-off boiler services and affordable monthly service plans to suit your needs and budget.

✅ A standalone boiler service starts from just £65 +vat.
✅ Or, from just £7.50 per month, our pay-monthly service care plan includes an annual boiler service, helping you spread the cost and avoid the hassle of remembering to book it each year.

Regular servicing helps keep your boiler running safely and efficiently, reduces the risk of breakdowns, and ensures your manufacturer’s warranty stays valid.

Boiler efficiency plays a big role in how much you spend on your energy bills. The more efficient your boiler, the more heat you get for every pound you spend on gas, which can make a real difference to both your wallet and your carbon footprint.

If your boiler is over 10 years old, it may be running at just 60–70% efficiency, meaning a significant portion of your energy is being wasted. In contrast, every new boiler we install at Plumbco Heating is A-rated for energy efficiency, helping you save money on your gas bills and reduce your home’s environmental impact.

We’re also happy to share practical tips on how to get the most from your current boiler – like bleeding radiators, setting heating schedules, and installing smart controls.

👉 Thinking about upgrading? A new energy-efficient boiler could pay for itself over time.
