Every home is different. Some homes use a lot more water as they have more occupants, more rooms, or more mains-powered showers. These homes will require a bigger boiler with a higher output, which will increase the price of installation.
If you have a smaller home, with one or 2 occupants then the cost of your boiler may be lower as your hot water demand is likely to be a lot lower.
You must tell British Gas all this information as accurately as possible to get the right combi boiler for your home.
