Bringing Transparency to the UK Boiler Market

David Evans, Senior Heating Analyst

Why I Started Compare Boiler Market

I spent 15 years in the heating industry, starting as an apprentice installer and eventually managing large-scale housing projects.

During my time on the tools, I noticed a frustrating trend: homeowners were consistently being overcharged for standard boiler installations. Large ‘legacy’ companies rely on their brand name to charge premiums of £1,000 or more for the exact same hardware you can get from independent installers.

I founded Compare Boiler Market with a simple goal: to expose these margins and help homeowners find the best value. My team and I compare every provider on three metrics: Total Cost, Warranty Terms, and Aftercare Support.

Our Funding Model

Compare Boiler Market is free to use. We are funded by referral fees—if you buy a boiler through our links, the provider pays us a small commission from their marketing budget. This never affects the price you pay. It simply allows us to spend time analysing quotes so you don’t have to.
