Heating system installation

Heating system installation in Pakistan

Updated 4 November 2026

A central heating system in Pakistan has no single published price, but a homeowner in Lahore reported paying about Rs 500,000 for a 16-marla house. Costs depend on the heated area, the fuel and the layout of pipes and radiators, so the quickest way to a current figure is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Prices are quoted per job, so the final figure depends on:

• the heated area, in square feet or marla
• the heat source: gas, electric or a hybrid system
• the pipe and radiator layout, and how much needs to be opened up
• the boiler or furnace type and its controls
• flushing and commissioning before the system is first used
• site access and the deadline for the work

Rules and licences for installers

The Pakistan Engineering Council publishes a fee table for new firm registration by category. In the fee table we saw, a C-5 firm pays Rs 30,000 and a C-4 firm pays Rs 45,000, and registration follows the engineer ownership criteria. Ask the installer which category the firm holds and whether an engineer signs off the work. Pakistan's Boiler Rules 2009 also set out the registration of boiler engineers, so ask for the same details if a boiler is involved.

Season and the mild winter

Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Faisalabad have a desert climate, with very hot summers from May to September and mild winters from November to March. Heating is needed for a shorter period in the mild winter, so many households plan the system for the cold spell. Late autumn or early spring is a good time for the work, so that it can be tested before the next winter. Summer work means working in the heat, so ask the crew about its schedule.

How it is bought and delivered here

Installers usually itemise the boiler or furnace fitting, radiators, controls, flushing and commissioning, so ask for a written scope of work that lists each item and says whether the price includes the boiler or the furnace. Describe the area in square feet or marla, because local property is often described in marla. Say which rooms need heat, since a single room and a whole house are different jobs.

What to write in your request

Say whether the house is a new build under construction, an existing house, or a single room. Give the heated area and the heat source you prefer, such as gas, electric or hybrid. Describe the scope of work, the pipe layout you expect and the equipment you want, such as radiators, a boiler or a furnace. Add the site address, your deadline and your budget. A house still under construction is easier to plan, because pipes can be run before the walls close.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. The AI reads your request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Pakistan, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, price, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to share them. Start with the request field, or see construction and renovation for related work.
