Seriously this thread is aimed at the ones that keep challenging cost of supplying and installing heating systems.
This old lady, living on her own, arranged a visit from a BG sales person.
He stayed for 2 hours and bombarded her with his hard selling.
She was told that there was an offer on and that it ended that day, if she wanted to make a saving then she would have to sign up that day.
He was that persuasive she signed the forms.
All for the discounted price of £ 4500.00
He even offered 12 months free insurance and
2 year warranty on the boiler
It was only later she realised other quotes might have been cheaper, but as she explained to me I did not want to cause a fuss.
The work was given to a local subbie.
Now I have seen him advertising boiler and 7 rads supplied and installed for £2200.00
Now thats from one extreme to another.
We would have quoted £2300 + vat, and provided insurance backed workmanship warranty for 6 years.
Oh and the boiler manufacturers free 2 year warranty
So those of you who keep moaning about what RGI charge, my advice is go to BG or any of the big players and ask for a discount price or better still ask the for labour only prices, see where you get too.
