Worcester Bosch 28i Junior Condensing Combi Boiler

[FONT=&quot]Hi

I am after a bit of advice with regards to getting a replacement boiler fitted & wondered if you could help

We currently have a Baxi Genesis 80 Combi boiler in a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom terraced house with 6 radiators, and were looking for a direct Combi boiler replacement. We have got a quote from Worcester Bosch, which is to fit a 28i Junior Condensing Combi Boiler which has come back at 2695 + VAT. This includes:[/FONT]
  • [FONT=&quot]Worcester Bosch 28i Junior Condensing Combi Boiler[/FONT]
  • [FONT=&quot]New horizontal flue[/FONT]
  • [FONT=&quot]Condense to Soil Stack[/FONT]
  • [FONT=&quot]Worcester Bosch DT10RF Digistat[/FONT]
  • [FONT=&quot]Reuse of existing electrical and gas supply[/FONT]
  • [FONT=&quot]New Liff Limebeater 2 In Line Scale Inhibitor[/FONT]
  • [FONT=&quot]Alterations and additions to existing heating hot and cold water supplies as required[/FONT]
  • [FONT=&quot]Reuse of existing heating and hot water system, inc radiators & thermostatic radiator valves[/FONT]
  • [FONT=&quot]Add sludge remover, mains water flush & refill adding corrosion inhibitor[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Please could you let us know if, in your opinion, this is a reasonable quote? I was hoping for something more around the 2k (inc VAT) mark for Worcester or Valliant type quality, but maybe I'm being too hopeful!

Thanks [/FONT]

    Who is the installer? A local GSR RGI will invariably be cheaper than a national.
    It's also about the most expensive time of year to have the boiler changed (at the onset of winter).
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Is this by chance a British Gas quote as it looks very expensive for a boiler swap.

    That is very expensive for that boiler, which is really a cheap end of the market boiler.

    I would expect you to get a slightly better boiler for around your £2k inc vat thoughts.
