Baxi’s 800 Heat is an affordable heat-only boiler available in 16kW, 25kW and 30kW outputs that will set you back anything from £990 to £1,110. The amount you need to spend depends on the boiler size you require, plus you have to add on installation costs. Boiler installation costs vary wildly across the UK, so we recommend you look around and compare prices. If you want to find the best price, you should get a fixed-price quote from local and national installers. 

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

The Baxi 800 Heat is a heat-only boiler, also known as a regular, traditional or open vent boiler, and is ideal if you want to replace an existing heat-only boiler. All heat-only boilers require two water tanks in the loft and a separate hot water storage cylinder, usually located in an airing cupboard. Heat-only boilers are perfect for homes with several bathrooms and high demand for hot water.
