£1,800 – £3,800

supply and fit

Replacing a combi boiler costs between £1,800 and £3,800 for supply and installation, with the range reflecting differences in brand, output rating, and installation complexity. A like-for-like replacement in the same location is at the lower end; moving the boiler, upgrading the flue, or fitting a larger output unit adds to the cost.
