is this quote fair? central heating upgrade

[Millsy 82]

The amount of complaints I have in regards to someone opening a kitchen tap while someone’s in the shower is unreal ripped a few combis out due to this

And how millsy as the cost is nearly the same eg Combi Boiler vs a heat only and unvented/ thermal store under £ 200 difference

So i guess there labour prices were high

Depends on what your fitting

Alpha GS40 flow smart

hi guys me again.
could i have an opinion on this boiler please?
i've read conflicting reviews on its reliability.

regards

Honest opinion Alpha is cheap and nasty

 

[mark456]

how about a baxi boiler?

Where in Manchester might be helpful, as it's a big place.

I’m not a fan but some people on here will steer you.

Worcester do a 50kw combi now that does 18lpm, i'll just throw that in the mix 😛 Probably needs a 35mm gas run nearly.

OP - you need to be looking at something more decent like a german manufacture (Stay clear of Worcester though).

 

[mark456]

me again

as part of the works i am after a gas first fix in kitchen.
there is an existing gas pipe in kitchen and one guy said that is already a first fix.
shouldn't a gas tap be installed?
see pic

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Depends if it’s still live

 

[firemant]

Is the pipe still live? The tap would be fitted between that outlet and the appliance. What are you expecting the kitchen supply to serve?

 

[mark456]

just a 4 point gas hob

Very difficult question without seeing what is actually involved. But if they give you what you want with a Worcester filter and are accredited by Worcester that’ll give you a 10 year warranty. The appliances are not cheap, but I would have a few quotes and not estimates. Recommended installers are worth paying for

 

[mark456]

hi just to update you.
got another two quotes and ended up choosing the installer who will install a valliant echotec 838, 13 stelard rad and two towel rail rads. this quote was 3k more than the alpha installer but a very similar price to the two worcester 42cdi quotes we got.
