What is a Central Heating Pump?

A central heating pump is an integral component within your home's central heating system. It's job is to circulate hot water throughout your home; from the boiler, to radiators (and hot water taps), and back to the boiler again.

How Long do Central Heating Pumps Last?

With correct installation and regular servicing of your central heating system, your central heating pump should last for a long time. With proper maintenance, pumps typically last well over ten years, with some lasting as long as twenty.

How do Central Heating Pumps Work?

Central heating pumps circulate hot water from the boiler to radiators and taps throughout your home. The pump is the beating heart of your central heating system, and it wouldn't work without it. Central heating pumps have a centrifugal design with rotating disc impellers that pressurise and circulate water throughout the system.

Why do Central Heating Pumps Fail?

There are a variety of reasons why central heating pumps fail. Sludge can block them up, the pump impeller can wear down, and the pump bearings can fail. If you suddenly notice a problem with your central heating pump, this could be down to an electrical problem within the central heating system, rather than the pump itself. In this situation, the best thing to do is check for blown fuses and loose electrical connections before thinking about replacing your pump.

How Much are Central Heating Pumps?

Central heating pumps vary in price from about £50 to £200 plus. The price of central heating pumps varies depending on a number of factors including the make, model and quality of the pump. Pumps for domestic models are also cheaper than commercial boiler pumps. On top of the cost of the pump itself, you will also need to factor in labour cost for installation. Central heating pumps can be very tricky and even dangerous to install, so it's always best to call on the help of a professional plumber for a safer and more efficient result. The cost of labour tends to be a few hundred pounds so in total, you can expect to pay anywhere between £150 and £350 for a boiler pump replacement including parts.
