What moves the price
- Type of boiler selected — combi, system and conventional boilers differ in price, and a system or conventional boiler also needs a hot water cylinder.
- Complexity of the installation — long pipe runs, a tricky flue route or an awkward boiler position add hours to the job.
- Any necessary upgrades to existing plumbing or electrical systems — old pipework, radiators or controls that won't suit the new boiler add parts and labour.
- Relocating the boiler — moving it to a new spot means new pipework and a new flue, which takes longer than fitting it in the same place.
Services for the maintenance and repair of the dwelling prices in Ireland are up 23% over five years (CSO Consumer Price Index, Services for the maintenance and repair of the dwelling, to 2025 December). Five years ago a typical boiler installation would have cost about €2590 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: CSO CPM18, CPM12 →

How to pay less
- Fitting the new boiler in the same spot as the old one avoids new pipework and a new flue, which keeps the installation simpler.
- Choosing a boiler sized for your home, rather than a bigger one than you need, keeps both the boiler price and fuel bills down.
- Booking the boiler installation in late spring or summer, outside the heating season, can give you more choice of dates and installers.
- Adding new heating controls or a power flush during the boiler installation costs less than booking them as a separate job later.
- Comparing the warranty on each boiler can save on repair costs later; you can ask the installer what it covers.
Before you book
- Access to the boiler installation site, including any necessary permissions.
- Details of your current heating system and any specific requirements.
- Information on the size of your home and number of occupants to determine boiler capacity.
- You can ask to see the installer's RGI registration for gas work before you book the boiler installation.
- Agree what the price covers, such as removing the old boiler, the flue, controls, commissioning and the warranty registration.
- Tell the installer how long you can be without heating and hot water, and agree the days the boiler installation will take.
