Frequently asked questions

Boiler selection questions

What type of boiler do I need?

This depends on the existing heating system, property size, available space and hot-water demand. Explore the boiler type pages or use the Help Me Choose form for guidance.

Do I need to know my current boiler type?

No. The Boiler Quote form should include a “Not sure” option so that a customer can still submit the enquiry and receive guidance.

Can I request a quote without choosing a model?

Yes. Select Help Me Choose and provide the property details. Heating City can then discuss boiler options based on the information supplied.

Are prices final on this page?

No. Prices shown on the website should be treated as starting points. Final pricing depends on the boiler, installation requirements and any additional work identified during assessment.

Still not sure which boiler is right?

Complete the Boiler Quote form and give Heating City the information needed to recommend suitable options for your home.
