Costs to install central heating
The average cost of installing central heating is between £3,500 and £7,000.
Central heating installation costs can include a boiler, radiators, pipework and heating controls. Depending on which type of boiler you opt for, you may also need a hot water storage cylinder as well as feed and expansion tanks in the loft. However, a quote for a new central heating system is unlikely to include all of this as standard. So, make sure you get each quote in writing and check what's included.
The price of each of these elements will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and you will also need to consider the labour and installation rates set by the engineer.
Having said this, no two central heating installations are the same, and many variables could have an impact on the final cost. These include:
All of this should be included in the quote you receive from a central heating engineer.
It's worth knowing that it's rare for some heating engineers to fit new radiators when replacing a central heating system. If they were going to fit new radiators, it would likely cost no less than £3,000, unless you were purchasing the new radiators separately yourself.
Central heating installation: Cost for 3 bedroom house
Central heating installation costs for a 3 bedroom can range from £3,500 to £7,900 . A new boiler unit will cost between £1,000 and £2,500, with potential additional costs for radiators costing between £180 and £400 per radiator. Pipework can cost about £800 to £1,000.
Central heating installation cost 3 bedroom house
Parts
Potential cost
New boiler (supply & installation)
£1,000 - £2,500
9 radiators (supply & installation)
£3,000 - £3,500
Water tank (supply & installation)
£600 - £700
Miscellaneous parts & labour
£150 - £200
Pipework (supply & installation)
£800 - £1,000
Total Cost
£5,650 - £7,900
These installation costs are based on an engineer charging about £200 per day with an additional £100 a day for an extra labourer. These costs are estimates and will vary based on the work involved and daily rates set by the engineer.
Central heating costs: Influencing factors
Total central heating installation costs can be wide-ranging because of the many variables.
The central heating installation cost can be impacted by all of the following:
Fuel
Type of boiler
Boiler manufacturer
Boiler size
Pipework and radiators
Heating controls
Complexity of the installation
Labour costs
Fuel
First and foremost, you need to decide on a suitable fuel type. The most common and popular fuel for boilers in the UK is natural gas, delivered directly through the gas network. Therefore, the cost of gas central heating will depend on the current gas prices.
However, not all properties are connected to the gas network. Alternative fuels include oil and LPG heating (liquefied petroleum gas) options which can be stored at the property.
Storing fuel in this way requires ample outdoor space for a storage tank to be installed. Unfortunately, while all of these fuels are effective for home heating, they are fossil fuels. When burned they emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere - a leading cause of climate change. Fortunately, there’s a ‘greener’ alternative in the form of biomass.
Biomass boilers burning organic materials offer a greener alternative but are more expensive. Electric boilers are a simple option for smaller homes, operating without burning fuel and using electricity for heating and hot water production.
Type of boiler
Combi boilers are the latest innovation in boiler technology. They heat water on demand without the need for a hot water cylinder. They are ideal for small homes with 1-2 bathrooms and limited space but may not be suitable for larger homes with multiple bathrooms.
System boilers heat central heating directly and store domestic hot water in a cylinder. They provide strong pressure for various outlets, making them suitable for homes with 2 or more bathrooms.
Conventional heating systems include a regular boiler , hot water storage cylinder, and a loft tank , relying on gravity to feed water and are a good choice for homes with high hot water usage.
There are several brands on the market offering a range of boiler types in lots of different sizes. The cost of all these boiler models will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Find out potential costs before installation in the table below.
Boiler type
Average cost (excluding installation)
Combi
£500 - £2,000
System
£500 - £2,500
Conventional
£500 - £2,750

Boiler size
Boiler size is essential when calculating the cost of new central heating in the UK. Boiler size is the measure of power the boiler can deliver and is otherwise known as the output rating.
Measured in kilowatts (kW), all boiler types have a central heating output rating while combi boilers also have a domestic hot water output rating. This is because all boiler types are directly connected to the central heating but only combi boilers heat domestic hot water on demand and deliver it straight to the taps, bath or shower.
Boiler sizing is important because if it’s too low, the boiler won’t be able to meet demand. Don’t go too high though because that will see your energy bills increase unnecessarily.
Using the table below, you can find out a suitable output rating based on the number of radiators in your property. You’ll notice that combi boilers need more power as they heat the water on demand in a shorter time span.
Number of radiators
Combi boiler recommended central heating output rating
System boiler recommended central heating output rating
Conventional boiler recommended central heating output rating

You can find out even more about boiler sizing from What Size Boiler Do I Need?
For accurate boiler sizing, you can contact a heating installer. Or, you can also contact a manufacturer, and they’ll be happy to help you. This is a free service where they’ll ask you questions about your home, and recommend the correct output for your needs.
Radiator sizing
As well as boiler sizing, getting the right size radiators is important too.
Radiator sizing is worked out using a radiator size chart . You can either contact a radiator manufacturer to find out the right size radiators for your home or speak to your engineer.
Boiler manufacturers
In the UK, there are many boiler manufacturers to choose from. Some are considered high-end while others are more budget-friendly. A selection of the best boiler manufacturers includes (clickable):

Hot water cylinder costs
A heating system that includes a system or conventional boiler needs a hot water cylinder. This is where the domestic hot water is stored and heated before being delivered to hot water outlets.
If you’re having a system or conventional boiler installed from scratch then a new hot water cylinder is essential. Combi boilers provide hot water directly and don’t need a hot water cylinder.
A new hot water cylinder will typically cost between £300 and £1,000.
It’s normally cheaper to replace a cylinder than to have a new system installed. This is because the pipework is already set up when replacing a cylinder. However, having a cylinder installed from scratch will require new pipework and increase installation costs as a result. Before the installation costs are taken into account, a hot water cylinder is likely to cost between £300 and £1,000.
There are two types of hot water cylinders: vented and unvented hot water cylinders .
The right cylinder for your system will depend on whether a system or conventional boiler is being installed. Vented cylinders need to be fed with cold water from a tank in the loft so it needs to be installed alongside a conventional boiler.
Unvented cylinders, on the other hand, are directly connected to the mains water supply. This removes the need for a cold water tank in the loft.
Room thermostats come in dial, digital programmable, and smart types. Dial thermostats are easy to use, while smart thermostats offer remote control and energy monitoring.
Wireless sensors detect open doors/windows and automatically turn off central heating, enhancing energy efficiency and home safety. Radiator valves come in manual, thermostatic, and smart variants, providing varying levels of temperature control for individual radiators.
Central heating control costs
Having greater control of your central heating through smart technology comes at a higher price than manual controls. However, smart thermostats and smart radiator valves will allow you to run your central heating more efficiently and potentially lower your heating bills as a result.
Heating controls
Potential cost
Room thermostat with dial
£10 – £40
Digital programmable room thermostat
£35 – £70
Smart thermostat
£70 – £250
Wireless sensors
£20 – £35 (per sensor)
Manual radiator valves
£5 – £35
Thermostatic radiator valves
£5 – £120 (per valve)
Smart radiator valves
£50 – £200+ (must be installed alongside a smart thermostat)
How much can you save when installing a new central heating system?
If the potential £3,500-£7,000 cost of installing central heating feels daunting, then consider the savings you’ll be making.
You could apply for grants like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme or ECO Scheme that can help you reduce the initial central heating spending.
Modern boilers are highly efficient as they use less fuel to deliver the same level of heat as older boilers. This is all thanks to condensing boiler technology which is able to achieve efficiencies of over ~92% . So for every £1 spent on heating your home, only 8p is lost through wasted heat. That could add up to considerable savings on your energy bills when you consider that older boilers are 60-70% efficient.
Insulation is key to an efficient home. A well-insulated home will stop heat from escaping. There’s no point in spending 20p to get your home up to 30°C if you need to do it all over again 5 minutes later. If this was the case, you could end up paying £50+ per day to keep your home warm.
As a result, you can have peace of mind that you and your family are safe and save some money on your central heating cost in the long term.

What does central heating installation involve?
Central heating installation processes can vary, impacting the work and completion time. The process involves draining the system, removing old boilers and radiators, fitting new ones, and installing pipes. On the final day, the new radiator system is commissioned, tested, and balanced.
Planning is crucial to minimise disruption. This includes choosing a suitable boiler based on brand, model, type, and output rating. Decisions on heating options like radiators or underfloor heating should also be made.
You will then need a way to control the central heating and there is no shortage of options.
Most homeowners are familiar with wall thermostats but the efficiency of the central heating can be increased with new radiator valves or the best smart thermostats .
How long does installing central heating take?
Generally speaking, installing a heating system will take between 2-5 days . That's if 2 heating engineers are working on the job.
The installation will take longer if you're home at the time (as opposed to an empty house renovation) as the engineers will be working around you.
For these reasons, it’s a good idea to plan the installation of a new central heating system during the summer. That way, your central heating will be ready to keep you warm during the winter months. It can also help to keep the initial costs down.
Arranging the installation of a new central heating system for the summer months can reduce disruption and save you money.
Find a central heating installer
You now know how much it can cost to install central heating. The final part of the puzzle is finding an engineer. To keep costs at a minimum, we highly recommend comparing quotes.
Typically, a heating engineer will assess the work required during a property visit and provide a quote accordingly. It’s advisable to gather at least three quotes from different companies and evaluate their offerings beyond just the cost.
Prioritise expertise and knowledge in addition to the price. The cheapest option may not always be the best choice if it compromises the quality of the job. Opting for a more comprehensive service, even if it costs a bit more, can be a smarter investment in the long run.
Simplify the process of finding a trusted heating engineer by using our online form to receive free quotes from trusted local experts. This way, you can easily compare and make an informed decision without any obligations.
All you have to do is complete our simple online boiler quotes form, giving us a few details about the work you need to be completed.
Once done, we’ll match you with up to 3 local central heating engineers. Each of them will then be in touch to provide you with a free quote that you’re under no obligation to accept. Click below to get started.
