If you thing BG is expensive ...

[Aquaheat]

I wouldn't necessarily get one with G3 cert, they are some of the worst

So how else can I get an unvented cylinder installed?

You will need a G3 certified installer to fit, commission and notify an unvented.

There are some guys on here round your way that may be able to help.

Is the independent that you first mentioned not G3 certified?

I'm actually quite surprised with your BG quote as its cheaper than I expected it to be. I was guessing in the region of 7.5 to 8 from them.

That's what I thought. It must be more cost effective to employ one person to install the boiler and cylinder than two, one for the boiler (no G3) and one for the cylinder (with G3).

No one has come forward yet. I have emailed six local installers, selected from the GSR website and listed with G3 qualification. So far I have received two positive replies. Two others have also replied - one has just retired, the other is mainly commercial and only does domestic boilers in conjunction with their commercial work. The one with Intergas listing hasn't bothered to reply.

The independent who has kept the system crawling along is G3 listed. Unfortunately all he as given, so far, is a verbal estimate, despite my asking for a written quotation.

Was that with the BG £400 cashback? , a good £1500 less than I was expecting too

DH do you seriously think you'll get a good RGI to quote for this job? You've given out the address & complete details of the job!! Imagine someone like you with your chin on the poor installer's shoulder all day??!! Get real mate, most will think of a price & double it!

Pre "discount" it was £7175; after £6426.

Puller -I certainly won't be standing over the engineer as I live in East Sussex and the house is nearly 60 miles away. No, the Boris discount won't apply, but I would get the BG "discount".

BG are quoting for a Glow-worm boiler. I would have expected something better for the price.

Oh I'm sure the job will still get a wide berth, just incase the poor installer get the 'My Daddy says phone call'!!

Don't worry Dickie, I won't be asking you to quote as I'm not willing to pay your return fare from Glasgow and the cost of two/three nights at the local Travelodge.
