I am planning to replace my floor standing gravity boiler. I have received a quote for the following,
-Remove old boiler, flue and block the hole in wall.
-New boiler Greenstar 18i System Boiler to be installed on wall above the existing boiler.
-Convert gravity system to fully pumped. Retain existing cylinder.
-Control kit, cylinder thermostat and motorised valves.
-Some electrics for thermostat and boiler.
Quote is £2750.00.
Questions,
1. Is this a reasonable price?
2. Is the boiler a good choice?
3. Would a combination boiler be cheaper to install?
4. If I install a combination boiler, how big is the risk of any pipework breaking?
5. Should I consider keeping my existing boiler Potterton Kingfisher RS50? It is working really well apart from the pump for radiator being slightly noisy.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
