Next Gen Boilers vs BOXT — Side by Side
BOXT was one of the first online boiler companies to offer instant fixed pricing, and they deserve credit for that. But here's how we compare:
- Pricing: BOXT prices typically start from around £1,699-£1,800 for a combi installation. Our prices also start from £1,699 — fully inclusive, no extras.
- Engineers: BOXT use a network of approved subcontractors across the UK. We use our own employed local engineers — you know exactly who's coming.
- Speed: We offer next-day installation across Greater Manchester. BOXT installation dates depend on engineer availability in your area.
- Aftercare: If you have a question or issue after your BOXT installation, you contact a national call centre. With us, you call the same local number and speak to the same team.
- Reviews: Our reviews are from your neighbours — real local customers in Manchester, Salford and surrounding areas.
- Warranty: We're a Worcester Bosch accredited installer — we can offer the full 10 year warranty, same as BOXT.
The Problem With Big National Boiler Companies
BOXT and other national boiler firms have made online boiler buying popular and accessible. But there are some significant downsides to using a national company:
- Subcontractor networks — you don't always know who's coming to your home, or how well they've been vetted
- After-sales support — getting a response to a post-installation issue can mean navigating a large company's call centre and waiting times
- No local accountability — a national company doesn't depend on your local reputation. A local company does.
- Flexibility — national companies work to their own schedules. Local companies work around you.
