Price to fit heating system from scratch.

[Scott_D]

Thought I would add to this thread

Just lost a job
BB and old system removed
New heating system with 5 rads and a duel fuel towel rail
Ecotec pro 28 with filter, lime fighter, shock arrester and VSmart controller
£5000

They have gone with someone fitting a WB30i and 10 years warranty for cheaper.

Most full system's here are about 3500 quid.

Very rarely bother with them not an earner

Really?

 

[hammers4spanner]

Yep complete dead wood here doing those jobs, firms here pay boys bottom dollar to slam them in. Reps have the fave firms as well so some pay half price on boilers

There would give about £500 for labour

Not when they get boilers half price along with controls

I was doing duotec full install for under 4k and made over a grand on each easily.

Full system from scratch would be heat pump territory for me

[Millsy 82]

2 years ago. 6/7 rads and a duotec standard clock magna clean etc etc you can get most of it for under 2k

 

[hammers4spanner]

You can get heat packs with rads and pipe from plumb fir about 1500 quid

I used to like vaillant but priced themselves out the market. Just fit baxi now. 630 with flue I'm selling for something like £930 that's with 10% on it.

 

[hammers4spanner]

Personally i found williams crap

 

[Millsy 82]

Williams and co or Mr central heating

Never really rated William's, they were always good but the prices were nothing special. I use plumbase and city plumbing but go round and get your prices and make sure each know that you also go into other merchants so they fight to keep you.

 

[Harvest Fields]

Never used them to be fair.

Thing I found with plumb center is they get you with a good deal like that then bend you over and pull your pants down on something stupid and you had to double check your prices all the time.

Which is what I have to do all the time.

is that true?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

How does that work?

contract support eg they buy alot through the year so they get decent / best prices prices same with these house builders you will find they buy the boilers as they get contract support as there building x amount of houses etc
