I currently have a Glowworm Ultimate boiler with a large tank in a cupboard at the top of the stairs. I think it is classed as a thermal store. I receive mains pressure hotwater via this system and from what I understand appears to be a good set up. I have BG homecare but for the last few years they have told me parts are limited and now they are refusing to replace any water parts as they recommened I have a powerflush at the cost of £900. I had a new heat exchanger and hot water pump fitted last year and they have just replaced the gas valve and other electrical components, so there is not much that isn't reasonably new. This bolier is, accordong to BG 64% efficient so on that basis I had considered a new boiler next year when I get some work done in the house.
They have been out and advised I should keep the exisiting set up and just replace the boiler, they have quoted me £2795 for a Potterton Precision conventional heat only boiler, a Spirotech magnabooster, 1yr free home care and a power flush which will be gauranteed for life. If I continue with the homecare after the free year they will gaurantee the boiler for 10yrs.
The current boiler is in my integral garage on the outside wall so minimal building work or disruption I expect?
Is this price reasonable or over priced?
I have researched the various parts and what they would cost me to buy but with the gaurantees etc is it worth it or are they having my eyes out?
I live in the North East if anyone knows of a better company to do the job.
Thanks.
