Pricing guide

Costs are typically made up of a callout fee, labour hours and materials. Simple faults that can be diagnosed and repaired in a single visit are usually less expensive than hydronic/boiler work or jobs needing major component replacement, which often require extra labour, draining/refilling and specialist plumbing. After-hours attendance typically increases the rate and may be charged at a higher multiplier.

  • Heater type and system complexity

    Hydronic or boiler systems often need draining, refilling and balancing, which usually increases labour and materials compared with simpler heater types.

  • Fault severity and safety risk

    Safety-critical symptoms like smoke or burning smells typically indicate a more complex or urgent repair and often expand the scope of work.

  • Major component replacement need

    Failures of control boards, heat exchangers or other major parts usually increase material costs and often require longer on-site labour or multiple visits.

  • Parts availability and lead time

    Specialised or obsolete parts can widen the final cost and may lead to delays or additional visits while replacements are sourced.

  • Timing — standard vs after-hours

    Work carried out outside normal hours typically attracts a higher rate, often applying an increased multiplier to labour and callout charges.
