What does it cost to buy a central heating boiler?

In most houses a central heating system has a lifespan of 15 years. Longer or shorter is also possible. Having an old central heating system (longer than 15 years) can entail health risks. Think of the danger of carbon monoxide. An old central heating can also become less efficient in use. Buying and installing a central heating boiler is an investment. This investment pays for itself. On average, after 6 years the investment for the purchase of a new central heating system pays for itself. This is reflected in your energy bill and the reduction in consumption. Installing a central heating boiler also costs money. This is because your house may not be ready for the installation. For example, because the professional first has to re-rout the pipes, or replace old ones in the wall.
On average it costs between €1200 and €2600 to buy and install a central heating boiler.
