The cost of a brand new Band A gas combi boiler, including installion averages out at around £2000. Of course it depends on a lot of different variables, such as the specific make and model of boiler, the layout and construction of your home, and whether you qualify for any grants or a scrappage scheme for your old boiler.

If your current boiler is more than en years old, it is likely to fall into Band G (70% efficiency or less), because of the degredation of its inner workings over time. Replacing it with a new Band A boiler could save you over £225 per year.

This means upgrading from your old gas boiler to a new one could pay for itself in little over three years.

Compare this to the costs of wall insulation, which varies massively but can runs to tens thousands of pounds and can take a couple of decades to pay for itself.
