​

Is a Firebird Boiler Suitable for Your Home?

 

Firebird manufactures condensing oil boilers for homes that rely on heating oil rather than mains gas. Its current UK ranges include heat-only, system, internal, external, slimline and combination boilers.

​

A Firebird boiler may be suitable where a homeowner wants:

​

• A replacement for an existing oil boiler

• An internal boiler fitted within a kitchen or utility room

• An external boiler to release space inside the home

• A boiler-house model for a garage, cellar or plant room

• A system boiler connected to a hot-water cylinder

• An oil combi boiler providing heating and hot water

• A slimline external boiler

• A broad choice of heating outputs

• An HVO-ready condensing oil boiler

• A replacement for an older Firebird boiler

​

The boiler must still be selected and commissioned correctly. A modern appliance may perform poorly if it is oversized, connected to contaminated pipework or installed without suitable heating controls.

​

​

​

Firebird Envirogreen Kitchen Boilers

 

The Envirogreen Kitchen range consists of internal heat-only oil boilers designed for properties using a separate hot-water cylinder.

​

Models with outputs of up to approximately 35kW are compact enough to fit beneath many standard kitchen worktops. The range uses Firebird’s heat-exchanger design, low-NOx burner technology, front servicing access and multidirectional flue options.

​

Higher-output Kitchen models are also available for properties with larger heating requirements. Current retailer listings include models extending to approximately 73kW.

​

A Firebird Kitchen boiler may suit:

​

• Direct replacement of an internal oil boiler

• Utility-room installations

• Properties retaining a hot-water cylinder

• Traditional open-vented heating systems

• Sealed heating systems

• Homes where an external boiler is undesirable

• Larger properties requiring a higher heating output

​

The installer should confirm that adequate space remains for servicing, burner removal, flue inspection and access to the heating connections.

​

​

Firebird Envirogreen Popular Boilers

 

The Envirogreen Popular is a heat-only boiler generally installed within a garage, cellar, outhouse or dedicated boiler room.

​

It supplies heat to the radiators and a separate hot-water cylinder. The boiler can be incorporated into an open-vented or sealed heating arrangement, subject to the complete system design.

​

The Popular range may be suitable for:

​

• Boiler-house installations

• Garages and outbuildings

• Traditional rural properties

• Replacement of an existing floor-standing boiler

• Homes retaining stored hot water

• Properties with substantial radiator requirements

• Installations where appearance is less important than accessibility

​

Current retail listings show Envirogreen Popular models covering outputs from approximately 12kW to 73kW.

​

A boiler-house model may offer a comparatively straightforward installation where the existing boiler is already situated in a plant space and the flue and fuel arrangements remain suitable.

​

​

Firebird Envirogreen Heatpac Boilers

 

The Envirogreen Heatpac is an external heat-only oil boiler enclosed within a weather-resistant casing.

​

The range includes seven models with outputs from approximately 12kW to 73kW. Features include a frost-protection thermostat, insulated casing, multidirectional flue options, removable side panels and a low-NOx burner.

​

An external Firebird Heatpac may suit:

​

• Homes with limited indoor space

• Properties where the existing boiler is outside

• Utility-room conversion projects

• Rural homes with suitable outdoor access

• Larger properties requiring substantial output

• Households retaining a hot-water cylinder

• Owners seeking to reduce boiler noise inside the property

​

An external boiler should be installed on a secure and suitable base. The location must also allow clear access for servicing, burner removal, control inspection and future replacement.

​

​

Firebird Envirogreen Slimline Heatpac

 

The Slimline Heatpac is a narrower external boiler intended for locations where standard external-boiler width would create an obstruction.

​

It is approximately 465mm wide and is available in three models covering outputs from around 12kW to 35kW. It includes a weather-resistant casing, frost protection, removable access panels and a multidirectional flue arrangement.

​

The Slimline Heatpac may be relevant where:

​

• The boiler is positioned beside a house

• External access routes are narrow

• The boiler is installed beside a path

• A standard-width external boiler would be intrusive

• The home has a modest or medium heating requirement

• The existing installation already uses a slimline boiler

​

The narrow casing does not remove the need for clear servicing space. The installer should confirm the access required around the exact model.

​

​

Firebird System Boilers

 

A Firebird system boiler heats the radiators and works with a separate hot-water cylinder.

​

Many system components are incorporated within the boiler, which can simplify the installation compared with some traditional arrangements. The current Envirogreen System range includes four models with outputs from approximately 12kW to 44kW. Models up to 35kW are designed to fit under many standard kitchen worktops.

​

A Firebird system boiler may suit:

​

• Homes with two or more bathrooms

• Properties with an existing unvented cylinder

• Larger family houses

• Homes requiring stored hot water

• Heating systems with several zones

• Replacement of an existing oil system boiler

• Properties where the roof tanks are being removed

• Households wanting an immersion-heater backup

​

The installer should also assess:

​

• Cylinder size

• Cylinder recovery time

• Water pressure and flow

• Expansion-vessel capacity

• Motorised valves

• Cylinder thermostat

• Heating zones

• Hot-water scheduling

• System pipework

• Condition of the system water

​

The boiler and cylinder must be sized together. Installing a larger boiler will not compensate for a cylinder that cannot store enough hot water for the household.

​

​

Firebird Envirogreen Systempac

 

The Envirogreen Systempac is the external version of the Firebird system boiler.

​

It is enclosed within a weather-resistant casing and includes frost protection. Four models are available with outputs from approximately 12kW to 44kW.

​

A Systempac may be appropriate where:

​

• The household requires stored hot water

• Internal boiler space is unavailable

• The existing system boiler is outside

• The property has more than one bathroom

• The home has a suitable unvented cylinder

• An airing cupboard is being retained

• The heating system is divided into zones

​

External boiler pipework must be designed carefully to minimise heat loss and protect the installation from freezing.

​

​

Firebird Slimline Systempac

 

The Envirogreen Slimline Systempac combines the sealed-system arrangement with a narrower external casing.

​

Firebird states that it is suitable for both open-vented and sealed systems, with removable casing sections and external weather protection.

 

This model may suit homeowners who need:

​

• An external system boiler

• A narrow appliance beside the property

• Stored hot water

• A boiler connected to an existing cylinder

• A replacement for an older external system boiler

• A less intrusive external installation

​

Current retailer prices for Slimline Systempac models begin at approximately £2,876 for the boiler unit, with larger outputs costing more.

​

​

Firebird Combi Boilers

 

A Firebird combi boiler provides central heating and domestic hot water from one appliance.

​

Unlike a traditional oil-boiler installation, a combi does not normally require a separate hot-water cylinder or cold-water storage tanks.

 

Firebird combi boilers use an internal thermal store to support domestic hot-water delivery.

​

A Firebird oil combi boiler may suit:

​

• Smaller off-grid homes

• Medium-sized houses

• Properties with one main bathroom

• Homes already using an oil combi boiler

• Projects where the hot-water cylinder is being removed

• Properties where airing-cupboard space is valuable

• Households wanting hot water without cylinder scheduling

• Direct replacement of an existing Firebird combi

​

Firebird advises that its combi arrangement is particularly relevant to smaller households with one bathroom and a shower or ensuite.

​

A larger property with several bathrooms may be better served by a system or heat-only boiler connected to a correctly sized cylinder.

​

​

Firebird Envirogreen Combi Xceed

 

The Envirogreen Combi Xceed is an internal oil-fired combination boiler providing central heating and instantaneous domestic hot water through an integral thermal store.

​

The range is available in three heating-output bands:

​

• 12–20kW

• 20–26kW

• 26–35kW

​

Firebird highlights rapid reheating following hot-water draw-off, electronic water-flow detection, thermostatic hot-water control and installation beneath many standard kitchen worktops.

​

A Combi Xceed may suit:

​

• Direct replacement of an internal oil combi

• Smaller and medium-sized homes

• Properties with one principal bathroom

• Utility-room installations

• Households wanting to remove a cylinder

• Homes where a separate hot-water store is undesirable

• Projects needing an appliance beneath a worktop

​

An oil combi is considerably larger and heavier than a typical wall-mounted gas combi. The installer should confirm the available floor space, access route and servicing clearances.

​

​

Firebird Envirogreen Combipac Xceed

 

The Combipac Xceed is the external version of the Firebird combination boiler.

​

It provides central heating and domestic hot water from a weather-resistant outdoor unit and uses the same general thermal-store principle as the internal Combi Xceed.

​

A Combipac Xceed may be suitable where:

​

• Internal boiler space is limited

• The existing oil combi is outside

• A utility room is being converted

• The homeowner wants to release cupboard space

• External servicing access is practical

• The property has one main bathroom

• Hot-water demand is moderate

​

Current retailer listings show external Xceed models beginning at approximately £2,994 to £3,091 for smaller output bands, excluding installation and additional components.

​

The installer should avoid unnecessarily long hot-water pipe runs between the external boiler and the main outlets, as these increase waiting time and heat loss.

​

​

Firebird Slimline Combi Boilers

 

The Envirogreen Slimline Combi is designed for internal installation where a narrower boiler is needed.

​

It provides heating and hot water from one appliance and is available in three output bands extending to approximately 35kW.

​

The range may suit:

​

• Replacement of a narrow internal oil combi

• Utility rooms with limited width

• Smaller and medium-sized homes

• Properties with one main bathroom

• Installations beneath a worktop

• Projects where the airing cupboard is being removed

​

Current retailer prices begin at approximately £3,024 for a Slimline Combi boiler unit.

​

​

Firebird Slimline Combipac

 

The Slimline Combipac is a narrow external oil combination boiler.

​

It provides both heating and hot water, with a weather-resistant casing designed for external installation. Three output options are available.

​

This model may be considered where:

​

• External space is restricted

• The boiler is beside a path or narrow access

• Indoor space is unavailable

• The property already uses an external oil combi

• The household has moderate hot-water demand

• A slimline casing improves the appearance of the installation

​

Current retail listings place the boiler unit from approximately £3,233, with larger variants costing more.

​

​

Choosing the Correct Firebird Combi Boiler

 

The three principal Firebird combi output bands provide options for different heating requirements:

​

Firebird combi output   /   General consideration

​

12–20kW = Smaller homes with modest heating requirements

20–26kW - Small or medium-sized houses

26–35kW - Larger heating loads or stronger hot-water demand

​

These descriptions are general starting points and not a substitute for a heat-loss calculation.

​

The installer should assess:

​

• Floor area

• Construction and insulation

• Number and output of radiators

• Number of bathrooms

• Bath size

• Shower type

• Incoming water pressure

• Available water flow

• Simultaneous hot-water demand

• Distance between the boiler and outlets

​

A larger oil combi will not create better water pressure. The appliance can only deliver the amount of water reaching the property.

​

​

Check the Water Supply Before Installing an Oil Combi

 

The incoming mains-water supply should be tested before an existing cylinder and tanks are removed.

The installer should check:

​

• Static water pressure

• Dynamic pressure while water is running

• Flow rate in litres per minute

• Incoming main diameter

• Condition of internal pipework

• Number of outlets

• Likelihood of several taps being used together

• Distance to showers and bathrooms

​

Retail guidance for Firebird combi boilers specifically recommends checking mains-water pressure, available flow and domestic hot-water requirements before selecting the appliance.

​

Where the property regularly uses several showers, a Firebird system boiler and hot-water cylinder may provide more dependable performance.

​

​

Firebird Envirolite Boilers

 

The Envirolite range provides a more straightforward alternative to the broader Envirogreen offering.

​

Envirolite models include internal Utility boilers, external Heatpac boilers and Boilerhouse units. Boilerhouse models are available in three outputs from approximately 12kW to 35kW.

​

An Envirolite boiler may suit:

​

• Straightforward replacement projects

• Smaller and medium-sized properties

• Homes retaining a hot-water cylinder

• Boiler-house installations

• External installations

• Households seeking a competitively priced Firebird boiler

​

Current retailer prices begin at approximately:

​

• £1,455 for selected Envirolite Boilerhouse models

• £1,887 for selected Envirolite Heatpac models

• £1,957 for selected Envirolite Utility models

​

These are boiler-only retail prices and do not include installation, controls, flue alterations or oil-system work.

​

​

Internal or External Firebird Boiler?

 

Firebird provides a broad choice of internal and external oil boilers.

​

An Internal Boiler May Be Preferable When:

• A utility or plant space is available

• Short pipe runs can be maintained

• The existing boiler is inside

• Indoor servicing access is preferred

• An external appliance would affect the appearance

• The boiler can be installed beneath a worktop

​

An External Boiler May Be Preferable When:

• Internal space is valuable

• The existing boiler is outside

• Boiler noise inside the property is a concern

• The utility room is being converted

• The flue route is easier externally

• Outdoor servicing access is straightforward

​

Firebird’s Heatpac, Systempac and Combipac ranges provide weatherproof external options, while Slimline versions are available where width is restricted.

​

The final decision should consider pipe length, weather exposure, servicing access, frost protection, flue clearances and installation cost.

​

​

Firebird Boiler Prices

 

Firebird oil boiler prices vary according to model, output, internal or external format and whether the appliance is heat-only, system or combi.

​

Current retailer listings place boiler-only prices broadly within the following ranges:

​

Firebird boiler type   /   Indicative boiler-only price

Envirolite Boilerhouse From approximately £1,455

Envirogreen Popular Approximately £1,575–£3,210

Envirogreen Kitchen Approximately £1,665–£3,234

Envirogreen Heatpac Approximately £1,990–£3,912

Envirogreen System From approximately £2,382

Slimline or external system boiler Approximately £2,876–£3,106+

Internal Firebird combi Approximately £3,024–£5,825

External Firebird combi Approximately £2,994–£3,671+

​

Retailer prices change and may exclude flues, controls, delivery and installation materials.

​

For broader project budgeting, the following installed allowances may be useful:

​

Firebird installation   /   Indicative installed cost

Straightforward internal heat-only replacement £3,000–£4,500

External Firebird boiler replacement £3,500–£5,500

Firebird system-boiler replacement £3,500–£5,500

Firebird oil combi replacement £4,000–£6,500

Boiler relocation £5,000–£8,000+

New boiler and replacement oil tank £6,000–£10,000+

Traditional system converted to oil combi £5,000–£8,000+

​

A 2026 UK cost guide gives an average oil-boiler replacement figure of approximately £2,450, although its own detailed examples and current boiler retail prices show that many complete Firebird projects can cost substantially more once the appliance, materials and installation complexity are included.

​

These figures are planning allowances rather than fixed APN quotations.

​

​

What Affects Firebird Oil Boiler Prices?

 

The boiler unit may represent only part of the complete installation cost.

​

The final Firebird boiler price may be affected by:

​

• Envirogreen or Envirolite range

• Heat-only, system or combi arrangement

• Internal or external installation

• Slimline or standard casing

• Heating output

• Boiler position

• Flue route

• Condensate drainage

• Oil-tank condition

• Oil-line replacement

• Fire-valve requirements

• Electrical work

• Heating controls

• System cleaning

• Magnetic or system filtration

• Radiator replacement

• Hot-water cylinder replacement

• Removal of tanks or cylinder

• External base or wall alterations

• Making good and decoration

​

The quotation should state whether it includes:

​

• Boiler

• Burner

• Flue components

• Heating controls

• Oil-line work

• Electrical connections

• System cleaning

• Commissioning

• Building Regulations notification

• Disposal of the old boiler

• VAT

​

​

Oil Tank and Fuel-Line Assessment

 

A Firebird boiler replacement should include an assessment of the oil tank and fuel-supply system.

​

The heating professional should examine:

​

• Tank age and condition

• Cracking, corrosion or deformation

• Tank supports and base

• Tank location

• Bunding requirements

• Clearance from buildings and boundaries

• Oil-line condition

• Filters and isolation valves

• Fire valve

• Underground pipework

• Evidence of leaks

• Access for fuel deliveries

​

OFTEC recommends that domestic oil tanks are inspected during the annual heating-system service. Its homeowner guidance notes that ageing tanks carry an increasing risk of failure and that the technician should advise when replacement becomes necessary.

​

An unsuitable tank or damaged underground oil line can substantially increase the cost of a boiler-replacement project.

​

​

Replacing an Existing Firebird Boiler

 

A straightforward Firebird boiler replacement may involve installing the new appliance in approximately the same position and retaining the existing system arrangement.

​

The installer should nevertheless inspect:

​

• Existing boiler output

• Boiler location

• Flue position

• Condensate drainage

• Oil supply

• Oil tank

• Heating flow and return pipes

• Circulation pump

• Radiators and valves

• Hot-water cylinder

• Expansion arrangements

• Electrical supply

• Heating controls

• System-water condition

​

Older systems may contain sludge, corrosion products, damaged valves or poorly balanced radiators.

​

Installing a new boiler without addressing these issues may restrict circulation and reduce the expected improvement in efficiency and comfort.

​

​

Replacing Another Brand With a Firebird Boiler

 

An existing Grant, Worcester Bosch, Warmflow, Mistral or other oil boiler can normally be replaced with a suitable Firebird product.

​

The installer should compare:

​

• Physical dimensions

• Heating output

• Flow and return connections

• Flue requirements

• Condensate arrangements

• Oil-line position

• Electrical connections

• Hot-water arrangement

• Warranty terms

• Servicing access

• Total installed cost

​

The closest physical replacement may reduce pipework alterations, but it should not override the need to choose the correct output and system type.

​

​

Converting to a Firebird Combi Oil Boiler

 

A homeowner with a heat-only oil boiler, hot-water cylinder and storage tanks may want to convert to a Firebird combi boiler.

​

This can release cupboard and loft space, but the conversion is considerably more involved than a direct appliance replacement.

​

The work may include:

​

• Removal of the existing boiler

• Disconnection of the hot-water cylinder

• Removal or abandonment of storage tanks

• New hot and cold-water connections

• Heating flow-and-return alterations

• Changes to the oil line

• New condensate drainage

• Revised flue arrangements

• Electrical work

• New heating controls

• System cleaning

• Making good

​

The mains-water pressure and flow must be tested before the stored-water system is removed.

​

A Firebird system boiler and cylinder may remain preferable where several bathrooms are regularly used or where an immersion-heater backup is valuable.

​

​

Choosing the Correct Firebird Boiler Output

 

The correct boiler output should be established through a heat-loss calculation.

​

The installer should consider:

​

• Property size

• Construction type

• Wall insulation

• Roof insulation

• Floor insulation

• Window sizes and glazing

• Draughts and ventilation

• Number and size of radiators

• Underfloor heating

• Hot-water requirements

• Cylinder recovery

• Planned extensions or loft conversions

​

Firebird’s range extends from approximately 12kW to 100kW, but the largest available model is not necessarily appropriate for a typical home.

​

An oversized boiler may cycle unnecessarily, while an undersized appliance may struggle during cold weather or take too long to reheat a cylinder.

​

​

Firebird Boilers and HVO

 

Firebird states that all its current condensing oil boilers are HVO-ready.

​

HVO is a renewable liquid fuel that may potentially be used as an alternative to conventional kerosene where it is available and where the boiler, burner, tank and fuel system are suitable.

​

Homeowners should not change fuel without professional advice.

​

The technician should confirm:

​

• Compatibility of the exact boiler and burner

• Required burner adjustments

• Tank and pipe compatibility

• Fuel availability

• Supplier requirements

• Warranty implications

• Commissioning requirements

​

Being HVO-ready does not mean that HVO is currently available or economical in every part of the UK.

​

​

Firebird Heating Controls

 

Modern heating controls can improve comfort and help reduce unnecessary boiler operation.

​

Depending on the heating arrangement, the installation might include:

​

• Programmable room thermostat

• Wireless heating control

• Smart thermostat

• Weather compensation

• Thermostatic radiator valves

• Separate heating zones

• Cylinder thermostat

• Hot-water scheduling

• Underfloor-heating controls

• Frost protection for external pipework

​

Controls should be designed alongside the boiler replacement rather than added after the appliance has been installed.

​

A larger rural property may benefit from separate heating zones so that bedrooms, living spaces and occasional-use areas can be controlled independently.

​

​

Firebird Boiler Warranties

 

Current Firebird technical documentation provides a conditional five-year warranty on the boiler shell and two years on other boiler components. The boiler-shell warranty includes parts and labour during the first three years, with parts-only cover for years four and five.

Warranty conditions include:

​

• Correct installation and commissioning

• Prompt warranty registration

• Completion of the Boiler Passport or commissioning record

• Installation by a competent, qualified technician

• Annual servicing

• Compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions

• Retention of service and commissioning records

​

Firebird documentation requires registration shortly after installation; the exact registration period should be checked for the selected boiler and current warranty terms.

​

Homeowners should ask the installer to confirm:

​

• Exact warranty period

• Which parts are covered

• Whether labour is included

• Who will register the boiler

• Registration deadline

• Annual servicing requirements

• What records must be retained

• What items are excluded

• Who should be contacted if a fault develops

​

The quotation should state the actual warranty applying to the selected boiler rather than referring only to a five-year headline period.

​

​

Use an Appropriately Qualified Oil-Heating Technician

 

Oil-boiler work should be completed by a technician who is competent and appropriately qualified for liquid-fuel heating systems.

​

OFTEC operates a competent-person scheme and a public register through which homeowners can find businesses qualified for oil-boiler installation, commissioning, servicing and repair.

​

Using an OFTEC-registered competent person can allow applicable installation work to be self-certified for Building Regulations purposes.

​

Following installation, the homeowner should normally receive:

​

• Boiler commissioning documentation

• Building Regulations compliance certificate

• Manufacturer warranty confirmation

• Boiler instructions

• Heating-control instructions

• Oil-tank and fuel-line information

• Annual service requirements

• Itemised invoice

• Relevant electrical certification

​

The compliance certificate should be retained with the property records.

​

​

What Should a Firebird Boiler Quote Include?

 

A complete Firebird boiler quotation should identify:

​

• Exact Firebird range

• Exact model

• Heating output

• Heat-only, system or combi arrangement

• Internal or external installation

• Proposed boiler position

• Flue arrangement

• Condensate drainage

• Oil-tank assessment

• Oil-line alterations

• Fire-valve provision

• Heating controls

• Hot-water cylinder work

• System cleaning

• Chemical inhibitor

• System filter

• Electrical work

• Removal of the existing boiler

• Tank or cylinder removal

• External base or support work

• Making good

• Warranty period

• Commissioning

• Building Regulations notification

• VAT

• Exclusions

• Potential additional costs

​

This makes it easier to compare quotations on a like-for-like basis.

​

A cheaper quote may exclude oil-line replacement, controls, system cleaning, electrical work, certification or necessary improvements to an ageing oil tank.

​
