New Gas Boiler

Hi All,

I am in need of a new boiler as the old one has seen better days and is slowly giving up the ghost. I have done a little research in my local outer London area and would welcome views on this quote.

We are switching to a combi from a standard boiler/tank setup with the following works required.

- Removal of old boiler
- Removal of two old water tanks
- Vaillant EcoTechPro28
- Flue, timers and fittings
- Installation of new boiler
- Testing of new boiler

The quote I have is for £1900. British Gas seem to want to do the same job for almost three times this figure! No shock there.

What do people think? Thanks in advance.

    Agree with Baldplumber, there are loads of responses on here that cover this, but this does look like a good price and vaillant are a very good and reliable boiler.

    Try and get at least 3 quotes from different RGI's first so you can compare what your getting for your money.
