What’s The Cost Of Boiler Installation In Birmingham?
The total price of boiler installation in Birmingham can vary. It depends on the boiler kind, how hard it is to put in, and what the person putting it in charges. See our guide on the types of boilers you can install.
Combi Boiler
A new combi boiler with fitting can be from £1,500 to £3,500. People in the UK seem to prefer combi boilers. They make water hot straight from the water main, so you don’t need a hot water tank.
System Boiler
A new system boiler quote with fitting can be from £1,600 to £4,000. System boilers need a hot water tank but use water straight from the main. This can mean a better shower.
Regular (or Conventional) Boiler
Regular boilers, also known as traditional or old-style, cost from £1,800 to £3,500 with fitting. They need a hot water tank and a cold water tank. They’re good for houses with an old-style heating system that uses a separate hot water tank and a cold water tank.
The real cost can change based on a lot of things, like the exact boiler you choose, extra work that might be needed (like changing pipes or moving the boiler), and what your fitter charges. Always ask several fitters for quotes before picking one, so you know you’re not paying too much.
Do I Need Permission For A New Boiler Installation In Birmingham?
No. normally getting a new boiler installation in Birmingham does not require planning permission as it is usually considered ‘permitted development’ under UK law.
If you live in a listed building or in a conservation area, you may need to seek permission before installing a new boiler, especially if the installation will alter the appearance of the building.
If the boiler flue will extend outside the property and it’s on the principal or side elevation facing onto a highway, you may need to apply for planning permission.
Please note that, regardless of planning permission, all gas boiler installations in the UK must be completed by a Gas Safe registered engineer to ensure they comply with safety regulations.
It’s also a good idea to check with your local council’s planning department if you’re unsure whether you need planning permission for your specific circumstances. They can provide guidance based on the local regulations in England.
Can I Do My Own Boiler Installation in Birmingham?
No, it’s not legal for a non-Gas Safe registered individual to carry out a boiler installation in Birmingham. This rule was established to safeguard both residents and properties. An improper installation could result in hazardous outcomes such as gas leaks, fires, explosions, and the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Gas Safe-registered engineers possess the necessary qualifications to perform safe and lawful work on gas appliances, including boilers. Upon the installation of your boiler by a Gas Safe-registered engineer, you will receive a certificate validating the correct installation and adherence to all stipulated regulations. In cases where an old boiler is being replaced, the engineer can safely disconnect and dispose of the outdated unit. While it may be tempting to cut costs by self-installing, this approach is neither secure nor lawful unless conducted by a Gas Safe-registered engineer. Prioritise safety by getting a professional to do the task properly.
