Hi,
I'm in the process of getting quotes to install a vaillant ecotec plus 837 to replace my old and knackered vcw 221H.
So far, I've had a (1st) guy quote me £1700 inc vat over the phone, and another (2nd) guy, who came round and looked at the job properly has quoted me £2000 inc vat. The 2nd guy has also said that he is paying (and charging) £950 +vat for the boiler, but if I can source it cheaper, he will happily install it. He's CORGI registered and subs out the electrics part of the job to a part P qualified spark.
I'm very tempted to go with the (more expensive) 2nd guy, as his approach seems more professional, so....
1. Am I doing the right thing?
2. Are the prices reasonable?
3. I've found VHSdirect doing this boiler for £866+vat, is there anywhere cheaper?
4. Is there anything I've missed/should be wary of?
5. Any additional advice?
Thanks for taking the time to read/reply,
Heggsy
