Just some personal thoughts on pricing for the following we are having done next week after having our boiler replaced. I think its a fair price when hunting on the 'net and considering whats involved, plus the cost of the Baxi Duo Tec 24HE I finally chose and was suggested as an alternative to the Vaillant EcoTec 24 Pro/Plus, but wife's a bit shocked as its a good chuck of cash
The following is being carried out :
Boiler removed/replaced
Power flush, with fernox
Fitting Magnaclense filter
Fitting wireless room stat
Fitting separate mains power point for new boiler
Running condensate outlet pipe to waste pipe which is not that far
Two days labour
1st day remove old boiler, install backplate and pipe it up ready and powerflush system. 2nd day install boiler, wiring and other bits and connect and setup and issue paperwork if ok
I asked for the mag filter to be fitted
Installer won't install new boilers without powerflushing and it also gives 5 years parts and labour guarantee which is invalid if powerflush not carried out and he's an accredited Baxi installer. Plenty of info to check on installer and registered with gas safe (which has been checked) and help Direct Safe Trader Scheme
Survey also to fit a drain off point in the kitchen pipework as there wasn't one to enable draining system totally
Also adding inhibiter to system and did tell us that if in future the system, is drained to make sure inhibiter is put back in to keep system protected
Gas pipe already 22mm so that doesn't need updating, boiler going in same place as old boiler which is easy access as its in back bedroom as no room in kitchen. We asked about moving boiler to kitchen but just no room to put it anywhere. Apparently can't go near sink which was the only real alternative as back wall was too narrow between back door and kitchen window
