Alpha is a boiler manufacturer in the UK that has been established for 50 years. They sell a range of boilers for different households including their flagship Intec C combi boiler.

The price of an Alpha boiler will depend on the type and size but typically they range between £695 to £2,215.

The cheapest boiler on offer, with an average cost of £599 is the Alpha CD24R. This is a heat-only or regular boiler which may be the best option for replacing an existing boiler if the property has an older radiator system.

The most expensive at £2,215 is the Alpha Intec2 30SE system boiler.

The table below shows the average price of Alpha’s cheapest and most expensive combi and system boilers.

A combination or ‘combi’ boiler heats water directly from the mains when you turn on a tap. This means that unlike a heat-only or regular boiler, you won’t need a separate hot water storage cylinder or a cold water storage tank.

Combi boilers tend to produce good shower pressure and are also more cost and energy-efficient as the water is heated instantly rather than stored in a cylinder.

Alpha create several types of combi boiler with their cheapest, Alpha Intec2 28XE at approximately £695 and the Alpha Intec2 30SE at approximately £2,000.

The table below compares the key specifications of leading Alpha combi boilers that we recommend.

Alpha Combi Boiler Fuel Size (kW) ErP Efficiency (Water Heating) Typical Price
Intec2 28XE Gas or LPG 26, 30, 35 A £695
Intec34C Gas or LPG 30, 34 A £895
Intec30GS Gas or LPG 30, 34 A £1,540
Intec2 30CE Gas or LPG 26, 30, 35 A £2,000

System boilers have heating and hot water components in-built so there is no need for an extra water tank, although it does require a cylinder for storing hot water. This is good for properties with high hot water demands and multiple bathrooms.

They are also compatible with solar water heating systems which present environmental benefits and energy bill savings.

Alpha’s cheapest system boiler is the Alpha Intec2 35CE which has an average cost of £915. At the more expensive end of the scale at £2,215 is the Alpha Intec2 30SE system boiler.

The table below compares key product details of the top Alpha system boilers that we recommend.

Alpha System Boiler Fuel Size (kW) ErP Efficiency (Water Heating) Typical Price
Intec2 35CE Gas or LPG 20, 30 A £915
Intec2 30SE Gas or LPG 20, 30 A £2,215

Alpha will not quote or sell to you directly but instead refer you to an engineer who has installed an Alpha boiler within the last six months. This is because every home is unique and an engineer will need to assess your requirements before recommending a particular type.

Once this assessment is complete, the engineer will then provide you with a quote that will state which boiler you need and how much the installation will cost. You can find out more about boiler installation by visiting our installation cost page.

You can find a list of local, Alpha-recommended engineers on their website.
