Quotes & price

Getting a quote and the price

How do I get a quote?

Use the 60-second online boiler quote for a new boiler, or book a service or repair through the online booking. No salesman visit, no pressure. You can also call 0800 980 6018.

Is the price you quote the price I pay?

Yes. For installs we give a fixed written price after a 20-minute survey and that is what you pay. No "starts from", no surprises added at the end. See new boiler installation from £1,895.

Do you offer finance?

Yes, on new boilers from around £32 a month subject to status, with 0% APR on selected models. A soft credit check that does not affect your score gives a usually instant decision. Full detail on ways to pay.

What payment methods do you accept?

Card, bank transfer and finance on eligible installs. Cover plans are by monthly direct debit. Details are on the ways to pay page.

Installs & repairs

Installs, repairs and cover

How long does it take to install a new boiler?

A like-for-like swap is usually a single day with heating back on by evening. A change of boiler type, or moving the boiler, typically takes two to three days. We confirm the timescale in your fixed-price quote. See our boiler installation service.

Should I get a combi or a system boiler?

Combi suits most 1 to 3 bed homes with one bathroom: no cylinder, hot water on demand. A system boiler with a cylinder is better for larger homes or more than one bathroom running at once. We advise honestly at the survey. More on combi boilers explained.

Do you offer emergency call-outs?

Yes, same-day boiler repair where we can, especially if you call before 11am. We hold same-day slots for breakdowns and tell you straight if we genuinely cannot make it today. Book a same-day boiler repair.

What does the £80 boiler service include?

A full manufacturer-approved service with a written record for your warranty, and no upsell. It takes about an hour for a standard gas boiler. Book a £80 fixed-price boiler service.

Is boiler cover worth it?

If an unexpected repair would be hard to absorb, a plan spreads the cost and includes the annual service. If your boiler is new and under warranty, a service-only option may be enough. Compare the Smart Care cover plans.

Heat pumps

Heat pumps and grants

Am I eligible for the heat pump grant?

If you own the home (or are a private landlord), it is an existing building, and you are replacing a fossil fuel system with a standalone heat pump. As of April 2026 you no longer need a valid EPC. Hybrid gas plus heat pump systems do not qualify. Checked 18 May 2026; see air source heat pumps and the BUS grant.

Do you apply for the grant for me, or do I claim it?

Your MCS-certified installer applies it. The grant is taken off the price before you pay, so your out-of-pocket cost is the install price minus the grant. We quote the net figure clearly. Checked 18 May 2026.

Referrals

Can I refer a friend?

Yes. We run a refer-a-friend scheme that rewards both you and the friend you send our way. Details are on the refer-a-friend page.
