What Is A Floor Standing Boiler?

A floor standing boiler is exactly that, a boiler which stands upright on a floor surface rather than being mounted mid air on a wall.

What is A Storage Combi?

A storage combi (combination) boiler functions just like a regular combi, by blending a property's central heating and hot water production into one efficient body, however they store hot water inside an integrated cylinder, rather than taking it directly from the mains.

This key component allows properties that may not have the space for a bulky external hot water cylinder, but have a high hot water demand, to store pre heated water efficiently while eating up no unnecessary space. 

The internal hot water cylinder makes a storage combi the perfect boiler type to service a home with more than one bathroom.

iHeat New Boiler Cost

New boilers can be a daunting purchase for many people as they’re an appliance with a lot of responsibility, providing heat for you and your family is something you want to get right. Boilers aren’t exactly a quickly disposable item either, potentially lasting you a decade.

Effectively, new boiler cost can be split into two segments: the first is the actual boiler itself (unit price), and the second is the cost of the boiler being installed (set up) in your property by an expert engineer. 

Here at iHeat, we remove all of this undue stress and make the decision making process of upgrading to a new heating system, as easy as possible.

New boiler costs can vary depending on a number of factors including their brand, model, fuel, output, warranty, labour and boiler installation type. Typically a new boiler will cost between £1,845 and £3,500, below is a list of average boiler installations offered by iHeat (guide only).
