Hi

I have recently had a unvented cylinder installed. The old water tank has been replaced with this system at a cost of £2500. Does that sound reasonable?

Thanks

Darren
 
sorry its way too hard to say without knowing the full scope of work
 
Welcome to the forum Darren :)

Too hard to say, need some more info.

What's making you ask the question ?
 
Welcome!
 
Thanks for your responses everybody.
I know it's after the event I just wanted to know if I was paying a fair price.
We had 2 old water tanks replaced with this new system that has markedly improved the pressure and regulation of temperature.
It's a tempest cylinder.
 
Darren , we would still need more info mate , where is the cylinder sited ? Size of cylinder ? Major pipework changes ? Etc etc I could go on , sorry
 
it sounds like a fair bit of work, also depends on where in the country you are as to what you'll pay.
 
If it's only water tanks out and cylinder in then somebody has had your eyes out. Did they wear a mask ?
 
Ok it's positioned in the airing cupboard where the old immersion tank was. Next to the main bathroom, we are having 3 bathrooms redone so there is pipe work for that but it's on a separate quote. He spent at least a couple of days disconnecting the old water tank in the loft

Hi All I had an unvented cylinder fitted about 6 years ago. It only supplies hot water to my shower. I was hoping for a much better flow rate from the shower but it seemed no different from the original combi boiler hot feed. There is (unusually) a lever that lets me select the combi or the...
