Are you looking to find out more about Baxi boiler prices?
If you’re in the market for a new Baxi boiler – first of all, great choice! Baxi is a great British name that can be fantastic value for money.
But looking at prices online can get a bit confusing, as they tend to vary so much. However, there’s a very good reason for this.
Having installed and serviced many Baxi boilers over the years, I wanted to write a blog post to help give a better idea of Baxi boiler prices and how much you can really expect to pay.
But firstly…
An introduction to Baxi boilers
A well-known British brand, you may remember Baxi when they were famous for their back boilers in the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s. However, things have moved on since then, and so has the Baxi brand.
We’ve said goodbye to the old, inefficient Bermuda back boilers and fires, and hello to modern, high efficiency A-rated boilers you can rely on.
In fact, Baxi are still going just as strong as ever today, with parts readily available in the UK. This is a brand at the top of their game right now, with fantastic 10-year guarantees to prove it!
Baxi boiler prices explained
For one of the best names in boilers throughout the UK, Baxi have really got their prices spot on.
This is reflected in the fact that you can buy one of their boilers with a 10-year guarantee, and the option to fit any controls you like, plus better flow rates than likewise models from other premium brands. And the best bit? They always come in around £250 – £300 cheaper.
For example, their equivalent to Worcester Bosch’s 32kw boiler is actually 33kw, so you can pay less whilst getting a better flow rate to your taps!
This has made them extremely popular with my customers, as who doesn’t want more for their money?
As for the average cost of a new Baxi boiler, let me give you an example:
The most popular boilers we sell are combis. For a direct combi swap, using the same flue hole, existing gas pipe and a drain for the condensate within 3m, you’re looking at prices from £2250. This is based on a 24kw boiler, flue kit, wireless programmable thermostat, magnetic filter and 10-year guarantee.
What factors can affect price?
Like anything, trying to predict the overall price you pay for a new boiler is a bit like asking the length of a piece of string.
Your overall boiler costs will depend on:
- If you need a combi, regular or system boiler
- The specification of boiler you need to properly heat your home
- Whether or not you need a direct swap or have to move the boiler to a new location
- If you need to upgrade your pipework or fit a new condensate
- The type of smart controls or thermostat you choose
There’s also various other factors to take into consideration, such as whether or not you’ll need to replace tiled or sealed flooring, and if you want new radiators with your installation.
It’s a lot to think about, isn’t it? The good news is, your chosen Gas Safe registered engineer should be able to advise you on a lot of the things above.
Advice from an experienced engineer
In my opinion, you should always go for the best boiler you can afford. Try to look for a long guarantee from a reputable brand, and really research all your options.
I recently had a customer who was adamant they wanted a:
- 10-year guarantee
- 32kw output with a good flow rate
- Nest thermostat control
They initially decided on a Worcester Bosch, but were disappointed that they could only get a 10-year guarantee if they fitted the brand’s own controls. As a solution, we offers a 33kw Baxi with a better flow rate, 10-year guarantee and the Nest control they wanted, for cheaper! It was a win-win.
Finally, always arrange to get two or three fixed price detailed quotations, so you know you’re paying the right price for your new Baxi boiler!
