How much is a new boiler?

It depends on your home, so answer the 9 questions in the boiler price tool and you see an estimated price straight away, fitted and including VAT. Dexter confirms the final price before any work starts.

Do you fit LPG boilers?

Yes. LPG goes through the same price tool as mains gas, at the same price. Dexter is Gas Safe registered for both.

Do you do oil boilers?

Yes. Dexter is OFTEC registered for oil. Oil boilers are priced after a quick chat or a photo, so use the oil boiler form and he rings you back.

Can you change my old system to a combi?

Yes, it is one of the jobs Dexter does most. System, gravity fed and warm air setups can all go to a combi. Pick "Convert to a combi" in the price tool and the conversion is in your price.

Which boiler brands do you fit?

Every major brand. The price tool shows Ideal, Vaillant and Worcester Bosch, and Dexter also fits Baxi, Main, Glow-worm, Viessmann and ATAG. Ask about any other.

Does air conditioning heat as well?

Yes. The units we fit are air to air heat pumps, so the same unit cools the room in summer and heats it in winter.

What does air con cost to run?

As a guide, about 2p an hour to cool a small bedroom on a 28° day and about 7p an hour to heat it on a 10° day. The air con price tool shows it for every room you choose.

Do I pay online?

No. You pick your boiler or system and an install date, and Dexter rings you to confirm it. Nothing is taken from your card on the website.
