How much do 24kW system boilers cost?

A system boiler is likely to cost around £1,000 for the unit but you will also need to factor in the hot water cylinder as well as the installation too.

Best 24kW System Boilers Potential Cost (before installation)
ATAG i24S £2,000+
Baxi 824 £924

Vaillant ecoTEC Plus 624 £1,000
Worcester Bosch Greenstar 24i £995

Benefits of installing a system boiler

If you're looking for a modern heating system than a regular boiler (also known as conventional and heat-only boilers) then your choice comes down to a system or combi. While a combi is a compact cost-effective solution that doesn't need a water tank, system boilers are the better choice for homes with multiple bathrooms. These are some of the benefits of installing a system boiler:

  • If you have a regular boiler then a system boiler is a more modern alternative that is comes fitted with a pump to provide a quicker response when you turn the central heating on
  • As hot water is stored in a cylinder, they can meet higher demands for domestic hot water
  • Able to deliver hot water to more than a single bathroom at any one time without a drop in pressure
  • If you have a solar thermal system (or are considering one) then you can install a solar-compatible cylinder installed to help lower your energy bills
