What changes a Main repair bill
- Brand tier — Baxi Heating's entry-level badge sharing the Baxi/Potterton parts platform; its listed PCBs run £186.00 (Combi 30 ECO), £226.80 (Combi 25 ECO) and £237.60 (System 28 Eco) incl VAT against the £218.40-£261.60 Glow-worm mainstream reference — at the bottom of, or just under, the baseline band
- Parts vs labour — the brand and tier shift the parts price; labour tracks your area's wage index, not the brand.
- The specific fault — a sensor, seal, or valve is far cheaper than a compressor, motor, or control board.
- DIY vs professional — Some Main faults (filters, seals, hoses) are DIY-feasible for confident owners; sealed-system and control-board work is a professional job.
