We need/want to replace our current boiler (old model Baxi Bermuda backboiler) and have just had a quote of £2,981 + VAT. This includes replacement of back boiler with a high efficiency condensing boiler (Ideal Icos), new water cylinder, retain radiators & pipework & drain the system. The boiler included in the quote sells for around £750 on plumbworld, add on new controls, some pipes, new cylinder & sundries - nearly £2,000 for labour - surely not for the 2-3 day job I though it was???
Also, is the quoted boiler our best option (ie as opposed to a combi) for a 2 person family in a 3 bed semi with 1 bathroom (few showers lots of baths). Yes, we would love to gain the cupboard currently used by the water cylinder but not for the sake of an inferior system. Any thoughts?
Many thanks in advance.
