Hi All.
In the process of getting quotes for complete central heating/DHW system.
Existing system is OLD (1980s). Floor standing Kingfisher in kitchen/single pipe to rads/unpumped gravity/Old rads/very innefficient.
1950s house (4 bed/1 bathroom/) Berkshire.
2 young kids me and the wife.
Plan is to go unvented and complety update the whole system.I have had the following cost so far (waiting for two others)
To remove existing boiler hot water cylinder & associated pipe work.
Supply & fit a 30 kilowatt Worcester Bosch room sealed wall mounted condensing system boiler sited in the garage the heating system will be fully sealed & pressurized, making the system more efficient.
Supply & fit a 170 litre indirect unvented hot water cylinder & immersion heater also sited in the garage. The unvented cylinder recommends a 22 mm mains water supply pipe your property is 15 mm whilst the pressure is adequate 4 bar the mains water flow rate is not adequate the price includes a 300 litre accumulator with the cylinder this will enhance the performance of the hot water throughout the property The accumulator is approximately the same size as the cylinder, space for this equipment has to be considered.
The price includes a secondary return on the hot water system this will offer rapid response of hot water at the hot taps through the property, although as discussed the price does not include the secondary circulator as at this point it is not required as the ensuite will not be functional for some time.
Supply & fit appropriately sized radiators in each room eleven in total including the landing & the bathroom, the radiators are isolated & controlled by Drayton thermostatic radiator valves on the flow & drain point lock shield valves on the return this enable simple & clean removal of an individual radiator for decoration behind etc.
There will also be provision left for further radiators as & when the property is modified for bathrooms etc. in positions to be agreed at the time of installation.
The heating will be controlled by a five day two day programmer, two Honeywell zone valves, & the room thermostat will be replaced, the hot water temperature is controlled by a cylinder thermostat.
The existing feed & expansion tank & the main cold water storage tank in the loft will become redundant & will be removed or left in the loft if the larger tank is too large to be removed.
The price includes installing hot & cold services to an agreed point in the main bedroom for the installation of the en suite at a later date.
The price includes supply & fit of a High Flow water softener sited in the garage the drinking tap & outside tap will be left hard.
As agreed we will build the base units housing the sink in the garage.
Upon completion the heating system is chemically flushed, balanced to achieve circulation & an appropriate inhibitor protection is added to the heating.
As a Worcester Bosch approved installation company we can offer you five years manufacturers warranty on your boiler as opposed to the standard two years this is at no extra cost to your self
Total £11053.23 inc VAT.
We plan to be out of the house for 5 days whilst it is done (they are a 3 man team) very well recommended. Do you think this price is in the Ball park as not really sure what this would cost and any questions I should ask. I am going to see a similar set up they have installed locally to get an idea of the size (boiler/cylinder/acc)
I do know that the parts (Boiler/UV cylinder/accumulator/Water soft etc) are probably £3-£4k of that plus all the new pipework etc.
Any how opinions please I know very difficult without knowing all the facts but does £11k sound reasonable?
Thanks
