Top UK Heat-Only Boilers
Please find out about the Top UK Heat Only Boilers, Boiler Brands and Pricing here:
Heat-Only or common boilers cost approx. £500 to £2000 because this price is dependent on the brand and the size of the model used etc.
These boilers are a traditional domestic boiler type, that was often found in all homes in the UK that were built before 1970.
Where are heat only boilers usually located?
These boilers directly provide heating and hot water from a storage cylinder, usually situated in the airing cupboard.
The boiler is fed by a cold water cistern from above (usually the attic), via gravity because that’s where they work best.
The expansion cistern is separate from the boiler. This means that this boiler system requires more space.
Price Range:
The top UK heat-only boilers vary greatly in price depending on the brand in question, with models usually starting at £500, and reaching up to £2000 for some of the more established makes and models.

Heat Only Boilers Prices and Sizes
The cost of your boiler would depend on the size of your house and the fuel type required etc.
Heat-only boilers are ideal for larger homes as they have a high flow rate, are able to meet high hot water demands, and multiple taps or showers can be used at any one time.
They will however require more space than other boilers such as the combi, and the use of hot water is limited by the size of your cylinder so once it’s gone, you must wait for it to reheat.

Heat-Only Installation – Things to consider:
The costs associated with installing a new heat only boiler depend on whether you have a similar system in place currently.
A heat-only boiler requires the use of two water cylinders, one in the attic and another, usually in the airing cupboard.
It usually less expensive to upgrade from a similar system where the external pumps are already in place, than to convert your current plumbing to accommodate a new heat only boiler.
When installing a new boiler, it’s important to place safety ahead of cost-cutting.
Always ensure your boiler engineers are on the gas safe register because this will ensure that your installation will comply with legal and safety guidelines.
Also always checkout the quality and standards of the work that they carry out because this will ensure that you are satisfied with the quality of workmanship etc.
