full central heating system

[johno]

hi there i have had a local company around to give me a quote on a fully fitted full central heating system in my 3 bedroom semi includes all pipe work, 7 rads all with trv's, room thermostat. the boiler is a worcestor not sure what kw but they said it is a top boiler a rated, the price they said is £2500 is this a good quote as it seems to be to me but not had a boiler fitted before.
forgot to mention they said it comes with 15yr parts and labour warranty threw there company and the guy also said it will come with a insurance policy for the 15yr just incase anything ever happens to the company i am still covered
any advise would be greatful
thanx

Get a couple more quotes to see if it's a good deal or not. Difficult to say without actually seeing the job.

 

[dave1]

15 years parts and labour? That doesn't sound right to me. I'd double check that... What's the company called and what area are you in?

 

[PlumbBobBob]

yes you should always get more than one quote for an outlay like this

 

[SafeGasInstall]

2.5k this all in materials and labour and VAT ?

 

[johno]

thanx all
it is eurotech windows doors in stoke on trent and got another quote of some one else for worcester who said about 2200 with the manufactures 5yr warranty, and another 1 said 3500 with 5 yr.
it just seems to good be true that why enquiring

Sounds cheap. Too cheap. There'll be no one around to honour the "15 year guarantee" next Christmas IMO

 

[johno]

safe gas install the sales man came round and sent be a quick email saying central heating 7 rads 2500 and i repeated my self in saying is it with 15 parts and labour warrnty he said yes but i will go in to there showroom 2moz to get all written down on paper

 

[Gray0689]

Never heard of a 15year warranty I'd be very suspicious

 

[johno]

tb services that what i was thinking the company been going for a few years but not sure how many and they said it will come with a insurance guarantee
and just what i was thinking to cheap

 

[johno]

thanx gray 0609 ill go see them 2moz i now they give 10yrs on windows and doors as it also say on there website

 

[PlumbBobBob]

their website mentions nothing about heating systems or boilers just windows doors and conservatories

 

[dave1]

Is their website eurotechwindows.co.uk? Doesn't mention boiler installs on their website.

Get it all in writing and double check everything.

 

[johno]

and he said the 15yr warranty is with there insurance company

 

[johno]

i know yes they said they get boiler fittings when people have conservatories

 

[johno]

yes dave 1 that the site

 

[Rickster123]

2500 quid?! I charge that for boiler upgrades! Bite his arm off but expect the worst.

 

[johno]

i will go see them 2moz and get a written quote and see if they start back tracking or changing things and if i get this written quote ill upload it on here

 

[SimonG]

Also get their gas safe details and check on the gsr website.

 

[johno]

app plumbing what u mean expect the worse and ill get the quote with the fullboiler make and model also

 

[dancinplumba]

whats cost of service ?
think i will start installing windows next week :banghead:

 

[johno]

what gas safe details do i need

 

[johno]

dancin plumba what u mean cost of service

 

[Gray0689]

what gas safe details do i need

There gsr number

 

[PlumbBobBob]

how much they will charge every year to service the boiler to keep to the terms of the guarantee

 

[johno]

i will go see them 2moz and upload quote thanx all for help and interest

 

[Gray0689]

But to be honest they will probably sub it out

 

[johno]

ok will do

I'm not in the trade but had quotes for a new boiler a while ago + 10m external gas pipe, that was £1800csh for Viessman inc system flush & filter, room stat etc. I had another for same work but W/Bosch 30Kw at £2350 inc VAT so yours sounds cheap for a complete system install. Never heard of much longer than a 5yr warranty from approved installers apart from Viess 7 yr

Boilers are around £1000, check out PTS pricing for boilers, rads etc then do some figures

 

[johno]

like i said even sub it out it still seems cheap full system with new pipework boiler fitting the lot, how long does this take to do in a empty house with kitchen ceiling already been pulled down

 

[johno]

ok will do thanx

 

[Gray0689]

It's very cheap

 

[dancinplumba]

dancin plumba what u mean cost of service

as steveb has said

 

[johno]

i will ask all of this 2moz i will write it down before i go
