Replacement boiler cost

The boiler in my mother's 3 bedroom house has gone and needs replacing. It's an old open vented system with a 35 year old floor mounted heat-only boiler that has gone kaput.
British Gas have suggested a BAXI Solo 15 HE and a cost of £3841, including fitting. Seems very high to me.

Hi there,
It does seem really high - im not a plumber and i'm only comparing a new boiler we has installed last year which cost us near £1700 which was a Glow-worm brand.
I'd get a few quotes before you sign on the dotted line.
Hope that helps!!

British gas are rip-off merchants. Google "baxi solo 15 he boiler" and you will find that the cost of the boiler is about £580. Ask British gas how long it will take to install ( I bet it is one day or less) then ask them if their daily rate is really £3300.
