Baxi Combi Boiler Prices
As for Baxi’s combi boilers, they currently offer dozens of models with warranties ranging from three to ten years.
As with regular or system boilers, it’s important to carefully consider a range of factors such as the appliance’s output before selecting the one that is best suited for your property.
What is a Combi Boiler?
Combination or combi boilers are incredibly common in the UK and are the most popular type of boiler for domestic use.
Combi boilers contain a water heater and central heating boiler in one unit. They require minimal space and provide high energy efficiency.
Baxi Combi Boilers: Price Range
Looking at the standalone cost of Baxi combi boilers, they are priced between £730 to £1,300.
This excludes the total boiler installation cost, which would also include the price of labour, flue and filter, and more.
If you receive a quote to have a Baxi combi boiler installed with a total price (supplies, labour, etc.) of less than £1,000, the offer is likely not legitimate.
Heatable can give you a fixed price online for a combi boiler installation that is Gas Safe. You could even have your boiler installed as fast as 24 hours. You can get a quote on our website today.
When listing the Baxi boiler ranges, we will list the price ranges of a selection of models rather than every individual boiler, although in some cases there are indeed solo boilers that are not part of a wider selection.
For example, the Baxi Duo-tec Combi Gas Boilers of which there are four unique models.
It should also be noted that for a given range, a higher power output does not always mean any given model will have a higher price tag than those in the same selection with a lower output, although in most cases it will.
The best-selling combi boilers from Baxi are the brand’s 825, 830, and 836 combi gas boilers along with the Baxi 800 Platnium+ 40kW Combi Gas Boiler.

Baxi Boilers Verdict
Before purchasing a Baxi boiler, you may want to know how the brand’s appliances compare with those of its rivals. One notable competitor of Baxi is Viessmann which was founded in 1989.
While this makes them a much younger company than Baxi, Viessmann has made a significant imprint on the market.
Viessmann Vitodens boilers are, however, generally more costly than Baxi boilers.
Does the quality of Viessmann appliances justify their higher price tag? Well, one argument in favour of Viessmann’s value for money is the high-efficiency levels of their boilers.
Overall, Viessmann arguably provides more quality but for more cash. Ultimately choosing between Baxi and Viessmann should come down to your needs and budget.
Another notable rival of Baxi is Worcester Boilers, who are notable for high-quality appliances and the fact they received a Royal warrant from Queen Elizabeth II.
Worcester is a high-standing seller of boilers in the UK, but they do have a reputation for high prices.
Once again, the budget can be the key difference in determining which brand is best for any given customer.
Overall, we’ve ranked Baxi in the sixth position as part of our best boiler brands guide.
If you’re looking for affordability, then Baxi is a top consideration, although if you’re willing to spend more for higher quality, consider a brand like Alpha or Viessmann, currently ranked second and first, respectively, in our boiler brands guide.
We have also reviewed and compared many other popular UK boiler brands, including the following:
