How Much Does this Boiler Cost?

The Intergas HRE Combi comes in an output of 17kW, 23kW, 27kW or 41kW and costs between £835 and £1,120, including VAT and dependant on which model you require. These prices do not include the cost of installation, which can be anything from £500 to £1,500, so you need to shop around to find the best deal.

How will I know if this Boiler is Suitable for My Home?

Intergas’s HRE Combi is ideal if space is very limited in your home as it doesn’t need to be installed alongside tanks in the loft or a hot water storage cylinder in the airing cupboard. By taking water directly from the mains and heating the water whenever it’s needed, this combi boiler does all the work by itself. There are four heat outputs available to suit the requirements of small, medium and large-sized homes but you need to know that combi boilers sometimes struggle to cope with high hot water demand.

Selecting the right size boiler for your home is crucial, so we recommend you talk to a heating engineer who can advise you on the correct size to suit your requirements.
