Hi all

Our boiler needs replacing before the winter hits and have been given the following quote. Any thoughts would be appreciated:

Replace current boiler (Worcester 28CDi, non condensing combi) with new Worcester 28 CDi Compact Combi boiler, including install of timer and roomstat.
Hot flush system and add chemical.
Fit Magnaclean.

£1,645 inc VAT

Or as above but install Ideal Logic 30HE instead. £1,450 inc VAT

Out of the two, am happy to pay the extra to go for the Worcester and so would be happy effectively just replacing our current one with the new model. Appears to be a decent price to my untrained ear but would appreciate any thoughts.

Extra info:
Apparently no pipework needs doing.
No radiator TRVs needed (already present)
We are in east Kent.

Cheers.

  • That sounds a decent price. Pay the extra and have the Worcester.
  • Too cheap. Where is the condensate waste running? What timer and room thermostat? Brand of chemicals? Duration of 'hot flush'? Length of warranty?

    Wouldn't have either boiler but would recommend Vaillant ecoTEC plus 831. Get two more quotes from recommended RGIs.

    As this is MSE, is your current boiler beyond economical repair?
