What Affects the Cost?

Several factors influence boiler installation pricing in Chatham. The boiler type and output (kW rating) significantly affect cost—combi boilers are typically cheaper than system boilers with separate cylinders. Your existing central heating system's condition matters: like-for-like replacements cost less than installing a new type of system. Pipework accessibility, the need for new flue routes or structural changes, and your property's size all impact labour time and final cost. Gas Safe certification, warranty length, and engineer experience also vary between installers.
