Need a new boiler but concerned about the upfront cost? As trusted heating engineers in Sutton, we understand that purchasing a new heating system represents a significant investment for most households. The good news is that with flexible finance options, you can spread the cost of your new boiler into affordable monthly payments. Here’s everything you need to know about boiler finance in 2025.
Why Consider Boiler Finance?
A new boiler typically costs between £2,000 and £4,000 depending on the type, brand, and complexity of installation. For many households, finding this sum at short notice – especially during an unexpected breakdown – can be challenging.
Boiler finance offers several compelling advantages:
- Immediate installation without waiting to save the full amount
- Protection from emergency winter breakdowns by replacing aging systems proactively
- Access to higher quality, more efficient models that might otherwise be beyond budget
- Preservation of savings or emergency funds for other purposes
- Improved cash flow management with predictable monthly payments
As we’ve noted in our article on boiler finance vs outright purchase, spreading payments can be particularly beneficial when balancing other household expenses.
We Offer Three Flexible Finance Options
At Fuller Heating, we’ve designed three distinct financing plans to match different budgets and circumstances:
Option 1: 0% Interest-Free Credit (2 Years)
Perfect for customers who prefer to pay off their boiler quickly without any interest charges:
- Spread the cost over 24 months with no additional fees
- Low deposit options starting from just 25% of the total cost
- Simple monthly payments with absolutely no interest
- Up to 12 years manufacturer guarantee included
Example: For a £2,500 installation with a £625 deposit (25%), you’d pay just £78.12 per month for 24 months, with a total payable amount of £2,500 – exactly the cash price with no extra charges.
Option 2: Extended Payment Plan (Up to 10 Years)
Ideal for those who prefer lower monthly payments spread over a longer period:
- Spread payments over up to 10 years for maximum affordability
- Deposit options available to reduce monthly costs further
- Representative APR of 7.9% with competitive fixed rates
- Up to 12 years manufacturer guarantee on your new boiler
Example: The same £2,500 installation with a £625 deposit results in £22.39 per month over 120 months. Total amount payable: £3,311.80 (including £811.80 interest charges).
Option 3: Buy Now, Pay Later (12-Month Holiday)
Excellent for customers who need immediate installation but prefer to defer payments:
- Nothing to pay for the first 12 months – complete payment holiday
- No interest charges if you settle the full amount within 12 months (£29 settlement fee applies)
- Flexible deposit options including zero deposit
- Up to 12 years Worcester Bosch guarantee on qualifying installations
Example: For a £2,500 installation with no deposit, you could pay nothing for 12 months, then either settle for £2,529 (including settlement fee) or continue with monthly payments of £47.88 over 84 months. If choosing monthly payments, total amount payable would be £4,021.92.
Am I Eligible for Boiler Finance?
Eligibility criteria for boiler finance typically include:
- UK residency with a permanent address
- Aged 18 or over (21+ for some finance products)
- Regular income or means to make repayments
- Good credit history (though options exist for those with less-than-perfect credit)
- Bank account capable of setting up direct debits
Our finance partners conduct affordability assessments as part of the application process. As we explain in our eligibility guide, there are often options available even if you’ve been declined finance elsewhere.

Boiler Finance FAQs
Can I finance additional works alongside my boiler?
Yes, our finance plans can cover complete heating system upgrades, including:
- Smart controls and thermostats
- Power flushing of your existing system
- Radiator replacements or additions
- System reconfigurations or conversions
What happens if I want to repay early?
Most of our finance plans allow early repayment either in full or in part without penalties. This gives you the flexibility to reduce your term if your financial situation improves.
Do you require a deposit?
Many of our finance options require no deposit, allowing you to spread the entire cost. Some plans offer reduced interest rates if you can provide a deposit, typically 10-20% of the total cost.
Is the boiler warranty affected by choosing finance?
Not at all. Your manufacturer’s warranty is completely unaffected by how you choose to pay. You’ll receive the same comprehensive warranty protection as customers who pay upfront.
Making the Right Choice for Your Circumstances
When considering boiler finance, it’s important to:
- Choose a repayment term that comfortably fits your budget
- Compare the total cost of different finance options
- Consider future financial plans that might affect your repayment ability
- Read the terms and conditions carefully before committing
As we advise in our article on choosing the right boiler finance plan, the ideal option balances affordability with the shortest reasonable term to minimise interest payments where applicable.
