What Kind of Boiler Do You Need?
Combi Boilers
Most combi boiler installations we carry out in Barnsley are for smaller homes such as terraces, semis or flats with one bathroom (sometimes two). They’re efficient, space saving and usually the most cost effective when replacing your boiler.
Everything needed to warm your hot water and heating system is built into the boiler and covered under the manufacturer’s warranty or guarantee. Meaning fewer external parts and no unexpected costly repairs later down the line.
When choosing a combi boiler, it’s important to consider the mains water pressure. If your cold-water flow is fast but you install a smaller 24-25kW boiler, the hot water may feel slower by comparison. Heating capacity is less of a concern as most modern combis can easily run 15-20 radiators, depending on size.
Best suited for:
- Smaller homes, flats, and terraces
- Properties with one bathroom (two at the very most)
- Households wanting instant hot water with no storage tank
System Boilers
System boilers are designed for medium to large homes with hot water storage tanks. They work on sealed systems removing the need for central heating header tanks in the loft. This helps reduce the risk of sludge build up and makes it easier to maintain.
The pump is built into the boiler and covered under the warranty which reduces external parts and unwanted costly repairs. System boilers look very similar to combis – the key difference is connect to a hot water cylinders and can’t heat the hot water instantly.
Best suited for:
- Medium and large homes
- Families with high hot water demand
- Multiple bathrooms
Regular Boilers
Regular boilers also known as “conventional” or “heat only” are suited best to medium and large homes with storage tanks. They’re often more compact than combis or system boilers and can run on open vented or sealed systems.
Because of their size regular boilers are more suited to homes with limited space or where the existing system is impractical to be swapped to a system or combi boiler.
Best suited for:
- Medium to large homes
- Homes with traditional heating and hot water systems
- Situations where space is limited and moving isn’t cost effective or practical
- Multiple bathrooms
Boiler Installation Cost in Barnsley (what affects the price)?
IThe average cost of a new boiler install in Barnsley typically ranges from around £2000 to £5000+, depending on the make, model, complexity of the job, and any extras such as new radiators or vertical flues. With today’s materials prices, it’s common for the bill to reach £3000 before labour is even added.
The cheapest option is usually a straightforward combi to combi swap, where the flue exits the wall directly behind or side of the boiler to the outside, using a budget-friendly boiler with a shorter warranty, fewer parts are required, and the installation is quicker, because of this the price stays low.
What Increases the Price?
- Boiler make and model, The boiler alone can change the price by over £1000. For example, a Glow-worm Micracom 24kW combi costs around £570, while a Worcester Bosch 8000 style in Black 32kW combi costs around £1600. Both heat your home, but like a Ford vs. a Bentley, they’re not the same thing.
- Boiler output, upgrading from a 24kW to a 35kW boiler usually meanes upgrading your gas pipe to ensure that the boiler runs safely and efficiently.
- Vertical flues, if your flue runs through the roof it requires additional parts, such as manufacturer specific flue pipes and fittings, lead slate to seal the roof, and brackets (possibly a frame) to secure your flue pipe.
- Controls, all new boiler installations must meet current regulations such as boiler plus. Standard generic thermostats are cheaper compared to manufacturer specific controls, but they may not comply with the regulations. Smart thermostats (NEST, HIVE WAVE) cost more but offer more convenience and efficiency.
- Extras, thermostatic radiator valves, new radiators, power flushing, system filters, extended warranties all add to the cost of your new boiler.
- Complexity of the job, the more involved the job is the more it will affect the price of the installation. Such as converting from a conventional to combi boiler, upgrading your gas pipe, installing condensate pump, relocating your boiler, or zoning your heating to run separately upstairs and downstairs.
There are many factors which will affect your new boiler installation price. The best starting point is to know exactly what you want, then getting a clear and detailed quote so there are no surprises.

Our Step-by-Step Process
We’ve made it simple for Barnsley homeowners to go from new boiler quote to complete boiler replacement with no stress. Here’s how we do it:
- Request a Quote: Start by filling out our online boiler quote form. You’ll be asked a few relevant questions, upload a couple of pictures, and book a pre-survey call. We’ll phone you to discuss your needs and arrange a convenient time for a site survey.
- Onsite Survey: During the survey, we’ll check everything against current regulations and confirm that your preferred boiler setup is suitable. We will also give you an estimate of how long the installation will take.
- Written Quote: After the survey, we will send a detailed written quote via email and text. If you’re happy you can accept the quote online with a single click. We’ll then call you to confirm your installation date to fit your schedule.
- Installation Day: We’ll arrive around 9am on the agreed date. Before starting work we will protect carpets, floors, and surfaces with dust sheets and mats. We may need to turn the water off briefly, so it’s worth filling a couple of jugs with water. We aim to retore the supply quickly. Our engineers will focus the work in one area to minimise disruption. By around 4:30 we’ll start tidying up, removing dust sheets and leaving your home clean.
- Aftercare & Handover: Once the job is complete we will send your invoice (due within 24 hours), register your boiler with the manufacturer and local authorities, and provide all certification. You will also receive a link to leave us a review on either Google, Facebook or Trust Pilot.
Throughout the process you’ll receive updates via email and texts, so you always know what to expect.
Local Expertise Across Barnsley and Nearby Villages
We’ve carried out hundreds of boilers installations across Barnsley from simple boiler swaps in Wombwell, to full boiler and central heating replacements in Cudworth, Penistone and Royston. Over the past 20 years, building a track record of reliable work and happy customers.
Here are a few examples of local boiler installations:
Barnsley Centre
(July 2025)
Mrs M had an ageing Ideal logic combi boiler that kept breaking down. Frustrated with her previous installer, she called us. After a survey and clear explanation of her options, we recommended a Worcester Bosch 2000 30kW combi boiler. She accepted the quote within 24 hours, and within 72 hours she had her new boiler installed and flushed.
Wombwell
(June 2025):
Mr and Mrs R originally asked us to install a new radiator. During the job, they mentioned their old Baxi boiler was struggling. We quoted for a Worcester Bosch 4000 18kW system boiler with a full power flush. For their 16 radiators. After installation, the new boiler was so quiet that Mrs R thought it wasn’t running – a huge change from the noisy old pump. They were delighted with the upgrade and the service.
Grimethorpe
(September 2021)
Mr and Mrs G wanted a more efficient and reliable replacement for their old Ferroli combi. We advised a Baxi 800 30kW combi boiler, and they accepted straight away. The installation went smoothly, and they were so impressed they recommended us to family and friends. We’ve serviced the boiler ever since.
We cover all areas of Barnsley and its surrounding villages, including Grimethorpe, Shafton, Cudworth, Wombwell, Hoyland, Penistone, Silkstone, and Royston. These are just a handful of the many installations we have carried out locally – the kind of work we could write a book about.
Energy Efficiency and Cut Bills
To get the most out of your energy efficient boiler installation in Barnsley, there are a few upgrades and extras that can help cut your heating bills further.
- Smart Controls: Upgrading your boiler to smart controls such as HIVE, NEST or Worcester Bosch’s WAVE will give you more control and if including smart TRV’s (thermostatic radiator valves) could save you between 2%- 5%.
- Power Flush: Power flushing your radiators will not only help your boiler breakdown less and protect the warranty/ guarantee but also ensures that radiators heat the room properly. Helping your rooms get warmer faster.
- Upgrading Radiators: Increasing the size of your radiators can help you reduce the overall temperature that your heating needs to run at. Lower temperatures mean the boiler burns less gas to reach the rooms desired heat. By reducing the radiator temperature from 75°C to 55°C means more £££ in your pockets and less in the gas companies.
- Thermostatic Radiator Valve (TRV’s): Installing thermostats on all your radiators allows you to keep each room at its desired temperature. No more rooms you don’t use getting red hot, or too cold because you turned the radiator off. TRV’s increase the overall control you have over your heating while saving you money.
- Weather Compensation: These increase a boilers efficiency by allowing the outside temperature to dictate how warm the radiators are. As the outside temperature drops the radiators temperature will increase saving you money while keeping you cosy and warm.
These are just a few cost-effective ways to keep you warm while reducing your gas bills over time.
