best value for TRV installation? DIY or Fitted?

[tgs166507]

Hi.
I'm after getting 10no TRVs fitted in my house, and was wondering whether there's any subsidised schemes for such things that might make getting them installed by a professional anywhere near competetive with the DIY option?

Failing that, does anyone know whether there are subsidies available against the purchase of TRVs?

I'm quite able to do the job myself, but as ever it's a question of finding time vs bringing someone in.

Thank you in advance.

If you feel capable then why not get on with it? Obviously it will work out more expensive to get someone in but you may end up doing that if you come across something that is beyond your capabilities.

yep, you're right, but i was just wondering whether it's even worth exploring the professional plumber route. I'm confident it will cost more than doing it myself, but if it's not that much more, it would be attractive... hence the question about subsidies etc, like you'd get for loft insulation etc...

has anyone done a similar comparison?

bg charge slightly less for energy saving upgrades, but will still be expensive

Good grief.

Why are people always looking for a handout?

Pay for yourself. Don't expect the tax payer to foot the bill.

The UK is going to the dogs.

Honestly if youwant to save £300 do it yourself otherwise pay simples. No subsidies available.
