Intergas HRE SB System Boiler

The Intergas HRE SB System is the ideal choice for homes with multiple bathrooms.

A condensing gas wall-mounted boiler, the Intergas HRE SB System is designed to keep your home warm and comfortable year after year. Not only does this boiler boast exceptional efficiency and reliability but it can also meet your heating and hot water demands when connected to a water storage cylinder. The boiler comes in four power outputs to suit most properties, including small, medium and large-sized homes.

How Much Does this Boiler Cost?

The Intergas HRE SB System is available in 18kW, 23kW, 27kW and 41kW outputs and the price will depend on which size you need. This boiler typically costs between £830 and £1,105, including VAT, and you can expect to pay anything from £500 to £1,500 to get the boiler fitted. Installation prices vary depending on how much work your engineer needs to do to fit your new boiler. To compare prices and find the best deal, you need to get a fixed-price quote from a range of local and national Gas Safe registered installers.

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

This is a system boiler and it won’t be able to deliver hot water without a separate water storage cylinder, so it will take up more space than a combi. However, there is no need for a feed and expansion tank in the loft. The Intergas HRE SB System can supply hot water to multiple baths or showers running at the same time, making it a great choice if you have more than one bathroom. As it comes in four outputs, the boiler is suitable for small, medium and large homes with high hot water demand.

If you’re unsure what type and size boiler you need, ask a trusted heating engineer to visit your home to determine which is the most suitable for your requirements.
