Typical prices. The engineer confirms the price before any work.
| Job | Typical price | What moves the price |

| Back boiler or regular system to combi | €3,100–€6,500 | The cylinder and tanks come out, pipes are changed, often the boiler moves. |
| Combi, 24 to 25 kW (apartment, small house) | €2,150–€3,290 | Up to about 10 radiators and one bathroom. |
| Combi, 28 to 30 kW (3-bed semi) | €2,320–€3,390 | The usual size for a 3-bed with one or two bathrooms. |

Ask whether VAT is included, and what's in the package: filter, controls, a power flush and the certificate.
