Hi,
I moved into a new house a few months ago, and are planning to do up the kitchen next year. As a precursor, we thought it would be a good idea to replace the boiler, as it's quite old (~15 yrs) and the service engineer thought we may have difficulty getting parts (it's working fine for the moment though) so we figured we'd replace now rather than rip up the new kitchen to put one in.
I had British Gas in last week to give me a quote, and I was quite surprised by the cost. £1200+ for a Glowworm Micron boiler plus another few hundred for parts, fitting etc. Grand total £2200...!
Is this a reasonable quotation, or by using British Gas am I 'paying for the name'? If so,what would be a more reasonable price?
Also, just searching in Internet, I've seen one or two negative comments on Glowworm products - anyone care to comment?
Cheers....
