Combi boiler
Hot water on demand, no separate cylinder, no loft tank. Compact and the cheapest to install. Best for 1-3 bedroom homes with one or two bathrooms. Limitation: water flow drops if two showers run simultaneously.

Why we still install plenty of boilers in 2026
AMP is a multi-service installer — solar, batteries, EV, heat pumps, boilers, air conditioning. That mix means when you call us for a boiler quote, we don't have to oversell heat pumps to make our numbers work. Sometimes a heat pump is the right answer. Sometimes a new A-rated gas combi is the right answer. The honest case for boilers in 2026 is straightforward.
For homes on the gas grid with a recent kitchen layout, working radiators sized for 70°C+ flow temperature, a short ownership horizon, or budget constraint, a modern A-rated boiler delivers fast install, low capital cost, and predictable running costs in line with current gas prices. We install Worcester Bosch, Vaillant and Ideal as standard, with 10-12 year warranties on premium models.

Boiler types
Which boiler type suits your home
Three boiler types cover almost every UK home. The right one depends on hot water demand, available space, and existing pipework.
System boiler
Heats a separate hot water cylinder, no loft tank required. Best for 4+ bedroom homes or homes with multiple bathrooms — the cylinder provides high simultaneous flow. Common upgrade path for larger detached properties.
Conventional (regular / heat-only) boiler
Traditional setup with hot water cylinder and a cold water tank in the loft. Less common in modern installs but sometimes right for older properties where existing pipework, low water pressure or loft layout makes conversion expensive.
About 80% of UK boiler swaps are like-for-like combi-to-combi or system-to-system. Where we recommend a change of boiler type — typically combi-to-system for a growing family adding a second bathroom, or vice versa — we quote the additional pipework and cylinder cost in advance.

Boiler vs heat pump
When a boiler is the right answer, and when it isn't
A boiler is right when:
- • Your existing boiler is dead or dying and you need urgent replacement
- • You're on the gas grid with working radiators
- • You're selling within 3-4 years
- • You're in a listed building where radiator upgrades aren't possible
- • Budget constraint is the dominant factor
- • You have significant insulation issues that can't be addressed
A heat pump is probably better when:
- • You're off the gas grid (oil, LPG, solid fuel)
- • You have or are planning solar PV
- • You can wait 1-3 months for design + BUS grant approval
- • You're planning to stay 7+ years
- • Your home is reasonably well insulated (EPC C or better)
- • You're carbon-emissions conscious

Works best together
What pairs well with a new boiler
A new boiler is a short-term decision (12-15 years of life). The other services that complement it are mostly the ones that future-proof the home for the eventual switch to a heat pump — solar to start generating your own electricity, and EV charging if you're switching to electric driving anyway.
☀️
Solar panels
Independent of your boiler — but generating your own electricity now positions you for the future heat pump switch when the boiler eventually retires. Solar pays back regardless.
See solar panels → ⚡
EV charger
If you're moving to an EV, install a home charger now. Pairs with solar to drop your driving costs to near-zero in spring/summer/autumn.

Ask about your areaBoiler FAQs
How much does a new boiler cost in Newcastle or Sunderland?
A straightforward combi boiler swap in Newcastle, Sunderland, Gateshead or the wider Tyne and Wear area typically lands between £2,200 and £3,200 including fitting and a Worcester Bosch, Vaillant or Ideal unit. System and regular boiler replacements with cylinder work run higher (£3,500-£5,000). The exact price depends on the unit, the location of the existing flue, and whether a system flush or magnetic filter upgrade is needed.
Do you cover Teesside for boiler installs?
Yes — we cover the whole Teesside region including Middlesbrough, Stockton, Thornaby, Billingham, Hartlepool, Redcar, Saltburn, Guisborough and Yarm from our Washington base, with the same response times and pricing as our Tyne and Wear customers. Most Teesside boiler jobs are surveyed within 48 hours of enquiry.
How fast can you respond to a boiler breakdown?
For an existing customer on a service plan, we aim to attend within 24 hours of the call. For a new emergency callout in the North East, we typically get to you within 48-72 hours. If the boiler is beyond economic repair, we carry common Worcester Bosch and Ideal combi units on the van and can often replace same-week — important when the heating is off in a North East winter.
Do you offer finance on new boilers?
Yes — we offer 0% APR finance on selected boiler installations (subject to status), with terms typically from 2 to 5 years. For mixed installs (boiler now, plan to add solar or a heat pump later) we can structure finance to keep the monthly cost predictable. We talk through every option during the free survey.
How much does a new boiler cost?
A new combi boiler installation typically starts from around £2,200 including fitting. The exact price depends on the boiler model, system type, and any additional pipework or upgrades needed. We provide a free, no-obligation quote.
How do I know if my boiler needs replacing?
Common signs include frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, uneven heating, strange noises, and the boiler being over 10-12 years old. If your boiler has an efficiency rating below A, a modern replacement could cut your gas bills significantly.
What is a hydrogen-ready boiler?
Hydrogen-ready boilers are designed to run on natural gas now but can be converted to use hydrogen fuel in the future if the gas network switches over. It is a way to future-proof your heating without committing to a full system change today.
How long does a boiler installation take?
A straightforward like-for-like boiler swap is usually completed in one day. If the boiler is being relocated or the system needs upgrades, it may take 2 days. We keep disruption to a minimum.
Should I get a boiler or a heat pump?
It depends on your property, budget, and long-term plans. A boiler is a lower upfront cost and works well with existing radiators. A heat pump has higher initial cost but lower running costs and qualifies for the £7,500 BUS grant. We can talk you through both options honestly.

Finance
Finance — spread the cost of your new boiler
A new boiler is often unplanned — the old one dies, and the bill lands at the wrong time of year. We work with regulated UK lenders to offer 0% APR on shorter terms (typically 24 months) and low-rate monthly repayments on longer terms up to 10 years, so a £2,500 combi swap can land closer to £30 a month instead of a lump sum. Finance is subject to status and credit check; we'll show the exact APR, monthly figure and total cost in writing before you commit, alongside the upfront-paid price so you can compare. Ask for finance options when you book your free survey.
