Sorry if this has been done before but i really cant find anywhere that answers my question properly.
I live in a 2 bed flat and have electric storage heaters. We have a gas supply already connected and was thinking about getting gas central heating. Ive looked on google to find rough quotes of this and they all require someone coming round but i literally just want a quick estimate so i thought would post on here.
I would need a total of 4 radiators.
Does anyone live in a similar size place who has had this done recently? Or does anyone know just roughly what sort of figures im looking at. I would preferably like a condensed boiler (as ive heard these are most energy efficient) but thats literally all i know. I dont understand much else about it with regards to boilers and water systems etc.
I obviously have a hot water system at the moment but have no idea what its connected to etc.....it just sits in the airing cupboard.
Im very confused im not sure what i need to get gas heating or if i need new water tank etc
I would just like a rough idea of price if anyone is available i would be very greatful.
Thanks alot.

Good morning: Cost will depend on where you are in the UK, the results of a site survey and the standard of the specification...no 2 jobs are the same;). We always recommend a read of this guide from the Energy Saving Trust to the OH's clients and folks on MSE.
Get round a couple of RGIs recommended to you by a source you trust (check their registration here and always ask to see a GSR ID card). After conducting a site survey and discussing your requirements/preferences, they would be best placed to advise on your options. Once you get the quotes in, post the details here and those in the know could comment. Boiler installs in flats can [resent a a number of issues, eg. access, flueing requirements, that can increase costs.
