We review oil boiler models and aftersales care.

 

Oil boilers prices vary according to size and quality, internal and external. Combi boilers range from £2,225 - £2,950; heat only boilers from £1,200 - £2,500 and system boilers from £1,450 - £2,600. We guide you on oil boiler prices, models, warranty periods and sizes in our comprehensive guide. Our pricing tables are ordered by size of property (this is a rough guide) and range from lowest to highest. We include oil boilers from Grant, Firebird, Warmflow and Worcester Bosch. For more on fitted oil boiler costs see our Guide to oil boiler installation costs. Also try our Guide to oil tank installation costs.

Oil boiler types

Combi boiler

Provide heating and hot water via a single unit (no hot water tank). Advantages are instant hot water and space saving. Disadvantages are no electric immersion back up for hot water and do not work well with poor water pressure.

Heat only boiler

Provides heating only and hot water in conjunction with a hot water tank. Advantages are more economical to replace and electric immersion back up for hot water. Disadvantage is higher maintenance requirements for hot water system not covered by boiler manufacturer’s warranty

System boiler

Provides heating only and hot water in conjunction with a hot water tank. Main advantage is that more system components are integral to the boiler and therefore cover by the manufacturer’s warranty. Disadvantage is that unlike a combi there is a maintenance cost to a separate hot water system

Guide to oil boiler sizes

Oil boilers will almost always be variable in output. A 15/21 boiler means it can be adjusted to output from 15kW to 21kW, as most homes have a heat loss of under 10kW, so this boiler will cover most homes. The vast majority of oil boilers serve older, rural properties and we have grouped together boiler sizes accordingly. 

Sizing hot water flow rates for combi boilers

The hot water flow rate for a combi is not adjustable, but it does vary from boiler to boiler. For example, under 2 bed internal oil boilers, flow rates vary between 12 litres per minutes and 18 litres per minute. Flow rate is important particularly if you have multiple bathrooms when you may wish to opt for one of the higher flow rate models.
