Our boiler recently died. It's a 15kw System boiler (Potterton) fifteen years old, and I want to replace like for like. A local installer has quoted me £2376.00 for: Installation of Worcester Bosch 15 Ri boiler located in existing boiler position. Worcester Greenstar filter and system flush. Removal of old boiler and waste.
I have no idea whether this is great value or a rip-off, because there's no breakdown of his quote. A check online tells me:
Worcester-Bosch 15ri retailing at £687.07 (Plumbnation)
Filter at £109.98 (Plumbnation)
Total hardware: £797.05 plus VAT
This makes the installation labour cost including flush £1,182.00 plus VAT.
This seems a little high to me, but I have no idea if it's a rip-off or great value. When I asked for a breakdown of the quote to include things like guarantee and labour costs, I got a 'take it or leave it' type reply.
Can I source the boiler myself for the above price, and get a price from an installer for installation only?
Comments please from anyone who can help me understand these costs....
