Price level September 2026, from our Dutch price page kosten cv-ketel. The price applies to a like-for-like replacement in the same spot.

What "all-in" includes

  • The new boiler of your choice, with all parts and accessories
  • Installation by a certified engineer: gas, water, heating and flue connections
  • Commissioning: we set up and test water pressure, gas pressure, flue gas values and your thermostat
  • Removal and disposal of your old boiler
  • At least 5 years' manufacturer warranty
  • VAT and call-out costs

When it can cost more

Only in non-standard situations: moving the boiler, adapting or extending the flue, replacing outdated pipework, or adding an expansion vessel or smart thermostat. We always put this in the quote beforehand, never afterwards.

A standard replacement takes about 4 to 6 hours, so you normally have heating and hot water again the same evening.

Boiler servicing

How Dutch home heating works

The cv-ketel (combi boiler)

Most Dutch homes are heated by a gas-fired cv-ketel (central heating boiler). It is a combi boiler: it heats the water for your radiators or floor heating and also gives you hot tap water directly, without a hot water tank. Modern boilers are HR (high-efficiency condensing) boilers; older ones are VR boilers.

Check the pressure on the display or gauge now and then: with the system cold it should be between 1.5 and 2.0 bar. A well-maintained HR boiler lasts roughly 15 to 18 years.

CW class explained

The CW class (comfort warm water) shows how much hot water the boiler can deliver at once.

  • CW4: one bathroom and one kitchen at the same time. Enough for most apartments and terraced houses.
  • CW5: two bathrooms, or several taps at once (for example showering while the dishwasher runs).
  • CW5+ / top models: extra comfort, higher efficiency or quieter operation.

Signs your boiler needs attention

  • No heating or no hot water, or hot water that keeps switching between warm and cold
  • An error code on the display
  • The pressure keeps dropping and you have to top up often
  • Radiators stay cold at the top (air in the system: bleed them)
  • Strange noises, or the boiler has not been serviced for more than two years
  • The boiler is 12 to 15 years old and needs repeated repairs. Then replacing is usually cheaper than repairing.

Safety: carbon monoxide (CO)

A poorly working gas boiler can release carbon monoxide, an invisible and odourless gas. That's why we measure CO at every service. In the Netherlands, companies that install and service gas boilers must be CO-certified. HanVos is.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to service a gas boiler in Rotterdam?

A one-off boiler service without a plan costs €165, including the call-out. With a service plan it is cheaper: the Standard annual plan is €131 per year (€100 in the first year for new customers), or you can have your boiler serviced every two years for €9.15 per month (€109.80 per year) by direct debit. The mandatory annual CO certification of €39 is charged separately on every plan. Prices include VAT (September 2026).

How much does a new boiler cost, including installation?

A new combi boiler (cv-ketel) costs from €1,899 all-in at HanVos. A CW4 boiler costs between €1,899 and €2,149, a CW5 boiler between €1,990 and €2,569, depending on brand and model. The price includes the boiler, installation by a certified engineer, connection to your existing pipework, commissioning, removal of the old boiler and 5 years' manufacturer warranty. Extra costs only apply in non-standard situations (for example moving the boiler or changing the flue), and we always tell you before we start.

Do you speak English?

Yes. We're happy to help you in English by phone, WhatsApp or email. Most of our website and paperwork is in Dutch, so just ask if anything in your quote is unclear.

Which areas do you cover?

All of Rotterdam (including Kralingen, Hillegersberg, Centrum, Delfshaven, Feijenoord, IJsselmonde, Charlois, Prins Alexander, Overschie, Hoogvliet and Pernis), plus Capelle aan den IJssel, Barendrecht, Ridderkerk and Schiedam, the Drechtsteden (Dordrecht, Zwijndrecht, Papendrecht, Alblasserdam, Sliedrecht), the Hoeksche Waard, Voorne-Putten and Albrandswaard, and further out The Hague, Delft, Zoetermeer and Gouda. In total we serve 220 towns and villages from our branches in Alblasserdam, The Hague and Breda.

My boiler has broken down. How quickly can you come, and what does it cost?

Our breakdown service runs 7 days a week. On weekdays between 08:00 and 16:30 we are usually on site within 4 hours in our core areas; in the evening and at weekends we plan by urgency, and no heating or no hot water gets priority. Without a service plan a breakdown call costs €115 call-out plus €75 per quarter of an hour. With a service plan you pay €45 call-out plus €29.50 per quarter of an hour, and with a Standard or Comfort plan the call-out and labour are fully included. Call +31 85 303 7272.

Should I choose a heat pump or a new boiler?

A new high-efficiency boiler has the lowest purchase price (from €1,899 installed). A hybrid heat pump works alongside your boiler and can save up to 50% on your gas bill; at HanVos it costs between €4,100 and €7,933 all-in after the ISDE subsidy, which we help you apply for. Which option makes sense depends on your home's insulation and your gas use, so we advise you on site.

What do CW4 and CW5 mean?

The CW class (comfort warm water) tells you how much hot water a combi boiler can deliver at the same time. CW4 is enough for one bathroom and one kitchen and suits most homes. Choose CW5 if you have two bathrooms or often use several hot taps at once.

Is annual boiler servicing mandatory in the Netherlands?

It is not a legal requirement for homeowners, but most boiler manufacturers (Intergas, Remeha, Nefit, Vaillant, ATAG) require regular servicing to keep the manufacturer's warranty. Servicing also includes a CO measurement for your safety and helps prevent expensive breakdowns in winter.
