Worcester Bosch Greenstar 30i

Greenstar 30i Best Price for same location combi swap

The most common job type is replacing an old combi boiler with a new Greenstar 30i combi boiler in the same location with a horizontal flue (the flue runs out from the back of your boiler through the external wall of your house). This will tend to be the cheapest of jobs as it will generally be finished in one day and the only thing the engineer has to do is remove the old boiler and put the new one in the same place.

Overall Best Price: BOXT Â£2,120

BOXT offer really good value for money on this job. Their headline price isn’t the cheapest on offer as E.on advertise £1,995 (more about why that’s not the best value later) but examining all the extras included within the package you can see why it is outstanding value:

  • 10 year warranty
  • System flush and filter included
  • pipework included
  • Nest 3rd generation learning thermostat included (you can switch this for a Hive or Worcester Bosch equivalent at no extra charge)
  • 120 month 10.9% APR finance available

HomeServe are the most expensive on offer here at £2,727, BOXT are an impressive 28% cheaper – which is £607 left in your pocket!

Best Finance Price: Heatable £2,070

A great headline price plus the option of 2 years 0% APR finance packages to help spread the cost without incurring interest. There are compromises in the package though:

  • additional pipework isn’t included so would be an extra cost
  • wireless controls are included rather than a smart thermostat – you could always upgrade for about £200 extra

But if interest free credit is your priority then this is the package for you. 

Which Best Buy

Price to be wary of: E.on £1,995

The cheapest headline price across all top installers, plus with 3 years 0% APR available the offer looks irresistible, that is until you read the small print:

  • it only includes a 5 year warranty – it’s an extra £150 to extend it to a 10 year warranty
  • pipework isn’t included, so if needed will be an additional charge
  • no thermostat is included in the price – to upgrade to a Tado smart thermostat is an extra £238

Extending the warranty and adding the smart thermostat to make the job like for like with BOXT will cost you £2,383, or £263 more than the same job with BOXT.

Greenstar 30i Best Price With a Vertical Flue

If your flue goes out of your roof rather than through the wall you have a vertical flue. The only difference in this job is that vertical flues are typically a more expensive part than horizontal flues and can be much more tricky to fit – especially as the installer will need external access to your roof, so they will tend to charge more. We’ve compared published prices of major installers and have found you the bargains and the quotes to avoid if you need a Greenstar 30i combi swap with a vertical flue.

Overall Best Price:  BOXT £2,465

Excellent value again from BOXT and their 2nd Overall Best Price award. They only charge an incremental £345 versus the horizontal flue job, provided your boiler and flue are direct replacements in the same place as the old boiler and flue. 

  • 10 year warranty
  • System flush and filter included
  • pipework included
  • Nest 3rd generation learning thermostat included (you can switch this for a Hive or Worcester Bosch equivalent at no extra charge)
  • 120 month 10.9% APR finance available

BOXT charge a huge £756 LESS than E.on for exactly the same job, that is a 30%!

Best Finance Price: Heatable £2,465

Exactly the same price as BOXT for this job, plus they have the 2 years 0% APR finance on offer. As with the horizontal flue job a little compromise is needed:

  • additional pipework isn’t included so would be an extra cost
  • wireless controls are included rather than a smart thermostat – you could always upgrade for about £200 extra

But an affordable headline price with 2 years interest free credit.

Price to be wary of: E.on £3,221

It looks like E.on really don’t want vertical flue installation jobs as they charge a whopping £1,226 more than for exactly the same job but with a horizontal flue. The same issues also apply when  you look at the detail:

  • it’s an extra £150 to extend the included 5 year warranty to 10 years
  • additioanl pipework for the installation will cost more
  • there’s not a thermostat in the bundle – that costs £238 extra 

Avoid E.on if your flue sticks out of your roof and you need a new combi boiler!

Best Price changing from Conventional Boiler to Greenstar 30i

Many homeowners decide to replace their old conventional boiler with a space saving combi boiler such as the Greenstar 30i, which provides instant hot water convenience plus frees up extra space by removing the hot and cold water tanks. As changing systems is a bigger job, generally takes more time and requires disposal of two water tanks as well as the old boiler it normally costs more. We’ve done all the homework for you and found the best deals.

Best Overall Price: Boiler Plan £2,561

A cracking deal from Boiler Plan saving you a huge £559 than if you chose HomeServe for the job. Plus your get:

Best Price Greenstar 30i replacing a Back Boiler

When your back boiler reaches the end of it’s useful life most people replace it with a modern combi boiler. As this job is more complicated than a replacement combi boiler in the same location it usually costs more because there is also a hot water tank to remove and the new boiler will need to go into a new location. 

Overall Best Price: BOXT £3,320

Fractionally more expensive price than E.on with a lot more value in the bundle. Plus a super clear and transparent pricing structure to move the boiler to other rooms

  • £0 additional cost to install into an airing cupboard
