New Boiler Advice

:confused:

So, Our current boiler has packed up.

We need one to supply our hot water for the heating and hot water for the dishes etc......Our is Electric.

We currently have 6 radiators on the flat, one in each room.

Our plumber suggested a 23l Combi boiler. This wouold get rid of the hotwater tank in the cupbaord and give more space etc.

Can anyone answer the following -

What price would you rekon for a full instal of a 23l Combi and extractions of the old system? - (I am based in Scotland)

Would a 23l Combi be suitable for us? (Only 2 of us, 2 Bed Flat no kids)

Can you recommend a Combi Boiler to pirce?



Cheers

    Is that a 23 litre combi or the model number?

    Personally I'd look at the Glowworm 24CXI - we have the 28CXI (Large 3 bed semi) its great plenty of water on demand and a good quality.

    Look at https://www.mrcentralheating.com at their prices. They deliver anywhere. Good value (best I could find) I paid £980 for the boiler, 7 rads, TRV valves and 60m of copper pipping.

    I's suggest around £650 for the boiler then a local plumber for the fitting - try and get a job rate rather than an hourly rate (they achrge anywhere from £18- 35 per hour) so get a job lot quote IN WRITING.
