New Boiler in loft quote and disposal query

accountingbod

Hi guys

So finally got a full quote through for my new boiler going in the loft. (currently in the kitchen)

Any thoughts?

- Decommission and drain down central heating system
- Remove tanks in the loft and redirect the pipework as necessary
- Remove boiler and cylinder from existing pipework
- Supply and install (Atmos Intercombi 32HE) combi boiler, with all relevant pipework, wiring and vertical flue through the roof tiles, install in the loft as discourse
- Supply and install Siemens RDJ10 programmable room thermostat
- Full, Flush, Add anti corrosion inhibitor, commission and test
- Dispose of old boiler and all rubbish arising from the job.

Total £2550.00

Optional Extras

- Replace radiators - £70 each
- Thermostatic valves - 25 per valve.

The boiler comes with a year warranty and a 10 year warranty on the heat exchanger.

Other boiler options for same cost are Worcester 24i combi or valliant combi boiler.

Also, the guy said he could dispose of all rubbish etc... but i am thinking that i could dispose of the old hot water cylinder myself as this is copper and i could get some scrap value for it as well as old piping etc...

Do heating people take in to account the trade in value of scrap metals when quoting for a job?

How does this quote sound overall?

Had two other quotes for same work but they came in more expensive by about £500.00

Many Thanks

Leif

Sounds good. About what I paid down in East Hants.

Thanks Leif

Good to know. I'm based in west sussex

At present Atmos have a 2 year warranty and 10 years on the heat exchanger.

Forget any 24Kw combi. You'll take forever to run a bath mid-winter.

I always take scrap into account when quoting, if the customer wants to keep it then the price would be higher, thanks

Same here. I would always keep copper scrap or add more to the quote if the customer wanted it.

Ditto.
I always offer customers the chance to dispose of non-metal waste themselves. It is costly for me to dispose of whereas they can take it to the local tip, saving themselves quite a bit .

If the customer wants to keep the cylinder, I disconnect it and then leave it in-situ for them to drain down
