I've priced a new combi boiler , but customer is adamant they can't afford , TRV's and room thermostat , we're do we stand as installers?

You cant force anyone into anything you can only advise I would push for a programable stat though.

williams do a salus for penny's really if the budget is tight

 

[PlumbBobBob]

you put on the paperwork that they can't afford them and get them to sign. have they not got a thermostat already? trvs are only a recommendation not a legal requirement as far as i know of course i may be wrong

 

[gasmanrob]

Salus rt500rf

alright its it's not the best but if it's budget It comes down to its better then nothing

 

[albatross]

It's law to fit a room stat.
It's law you must recommend TRVs on existing rads, but they don't have to fit them.
On new rads you must fit trvs.

Siemans are about £43+ vat at plumb. No reason not to fit a stat, they'll save that much in gas on their first year.

 

[gasmanrob]

Yeah but that means using plumbs... So if your clever enough not to have an account with that circus act you'll be looking at £600 for the same stat.

Although the Siemens is a better stat then the salus IMO

 

[gasmanrob]

The salus is cheaper but didn't want to bring up prices in an open forum

 

[Reg Man]

Why would you want to fit a none compliant system, Don't even offer the option.

 

[TBServices]

Thought the salus prog stat was about £54?

 

[Reg Man]

Price for a compliant system. If they don't like it; walk away.
