How Much Does It Cost To Move A Boiler To A New Location?
Need to move your boiler location but unsure about how much it will cost. We have spoken to a number of heating engineers and put together this quick 3 minute guide detailing all associated costs of moving boilers! Hope this helps
How Much Does It Cost To Move A Boiler?
To move the boiler from its original location to a new location in your home will cost circa £500 ‘all in’ so that includes any parts and labour. However £500 was the average price we received from engineers we surveyed and the range was £325-£750. It really does depend on distance. If you wanted to move your boiler just a few feet for instance from one wall in the kitchen to another, it would be the lower end of those estimates, around £300-£500. These types of moves are very common after extensions, when you have increased the size of the kitchen. A £750 boiler move would be when you want to move a boiler from one side of the house to the other. So for instance moving a boiler from an upstairs bathroom to the kitchen downstairs. This would involve a fair amount of work, like drilling through walls and obviously all the pipework involved with such a move. What we advise is actually get your own fixed quote online for a boiler relocation and the best place to do that is here. The most cost effective way, if you currently have an old boiler, is to replace and move the boiler at the same time. For this, use an online boiler installer like Heatable. They have teamed up with the best brands, done away with any sales team and operate solely online, meaning they can do the best deals on the internet, fitting including. But why we really like them is they don’t mess you around, use their online clickable multichoice form and in under 2 mins you’ll have a FIXED quote for a new boiler. Plus they offer finance on everything and if you order before 3pm they will fit them the very next day. This is the deal we found using them:Costs: Replace Boiler AND Move It To A New Location
To replace your boiler and move the location at the same time is much more cost effective and something you should really think about if your boiler isn’t new. Because depending on the distance you need it moving, it could be as cheap as £100 to move it when replacing it aswell. One of the key reasons is labour. If you already have a Gas Safe engineer at your home it makes sense for a new boiler install, as you already have in effect paid around 20-30% of the total labour cost getting the engineer there for just that. For the best fixed prices, including fitting, we used Heatable. Just fill out their clickable multichoice boiler survey and see fixed prices on screen infront of you. No personal details or mucking around, just fixed prices on boilers, installed the next day with finance available.Do Costs Vary To Relocate Gas, Oil & LPG Boilers?
The fuel type of the boiler has no bearing on the cost to relocate it. The bulk of the costs to relocate any boiler is labour and then the pipework. As you can imagine, your local heating engineers will charge different prices for undertaking the work. This is the nature of quoting and another reason we recommend you try here as you will get a fixed price. The only time costs could spiral is if the heating engineer has to get an electrician or carpenter out to make the new location suitable for a boiler. The other time you could see prices increased is if your boiler is very heavy. The heaviest boilers are oil boilers and are typically unliftable by one person as they can be around 100kg. The boiler engineer will require help, usually in the form of a labourer or even two labourers.What Affects The Costs When Moving A Boiler?
Heating engineers charge for their time; so the longer the job will take the more they will charge. The same is true for materials, the more materials that are required the higher the quote will be. The most common location moves are:- Into the loft
- Upstairs
- Downstairs [bathroom to kitchen]
- Due to an extension
- Into another room
- Into the garage
- Utility Room
