System boilers prices vary between £600 to £1000 with the cost of installation
System boilers are very energy efficient as they are a sealed system. They work on the principle of stored hot water, yet many of the major components of a heating and hot water system are built into the boiler itself, thus eliminating the need for a feed and expansion cistern or, if the hot water system is pressurised, a cold water tank. The integrated components of a system boiler means that ongoing maintenance costs are usually lower than combi boilers, but they do take up more space. What is a System Boiler?
Advantages:
- Loft space is not required for a hot water tank
- High water pressure
- Easy to install

- Compact boiler dimensions
Disadvantages:
- Installation, repair and maintenance costs can be more expensive
