What affects the price
- boiler capacity (up to 50l is cheaper, 51l or more is more expensive)
- whether it is a like-for-like replacement in the same location or requires pipe modifications
- region and city
- whether the price includes only labour or also materials (hoses, valves)
Usually included in the price
- removal of the old water heater
- installation and connection of a new unit in the same location
Usually charged separately
- the boiler itself (the appliance), purchased separately
- modifications to the plumbing or electrical installation (charged separately)

Prices from customers and companies
Two types of entries: customers state how much they paid for the entire job and rate the contractor; service providers enter their price lists. Customer entries have three reliability levels: ✓ verified: invoice or receipt (the editorial team has seen a document matching the entry), ✓ verified: declaration (the author confirmed the entry using a link sent by e-mail) and unverified (how we verify entries); we do not verify company price lists. Price lists entered by companies are not included in the median at the top of the page; customer amounts are included only for services priced as a complete service.
