The true cost will depend on the system you have installed and the complexity of the installation.

The cost of central heating varies depending on several factors, including: 

  • Choice of brand

  • Zoning

  • Installation difficulty

Choice of brand

Various brands manufacture heating including Braemar, Lennox, Brivis and Rinnai. As with most items, brands vary from basic to luxury, and this ultimately affects the cost. Your installer may be able to get a trade discount by buying from the manufacturer directly, so ask if this is possible.

Zoning

Zoning allows you to section off areas of your home, so that you can control which sections are heated and to what temperature. The more zoning you add, the more expensive it will be to have installed. 

Installation difficulty

Some properties will make installation a breeze, and others can be extremely challenging. The complexity will affect the cost since it will take more time and possibly labour to complete if it’s not straightforward for the team.
