The Glow-worm Energy Combi comes in an output of 25kW, 30kW or 35kW and will cost you anything between £790 and £920. In addition to the boiler cost, you’ll need to consider installation as well. Because boiler and fitting costs vary, we suggest you shop around in order to find the best price for both. By comparing prices, you could end up saving yourself a few hundred pounds.

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

As the Glow-worm Energy Combi is a combination boiler, it doesn’t require any separate cylinders or tanks to store water and is, therefore, a great option for homes where space is limited. The only slight downside to combi boilers is that they struggle to provide a constant supply of hot water to multiple taps that are running at the same time, but this won’t be a problem if you have just one bathroom or smaller hot water requirements.

To find out if this boiler is the perfect fit for your home, you’ll need to consult a Gas Safe registered engineer. A professional will also be able to work out which size (kW) of boiler is suitable for your needs, helping you to choose between the 25kW, 30kW or 35kW Glow-worm Energy Combi.
