Quote for GCH

Options
Does this quote seem reasonable? Our flat is 1st floor with 3 bedrooms and eventually 2 bathrooms. We've got a boiler for hot water but no central heating just now. Flat is heated by 1 gas fire at the moment so we need to sort it soon really. 

£6250  Baxi 630 7 year warranty 
12.5 lpm   

£6500 Baxi 636 7 year warranty 
15.5 lpm   

£6500  Baxi 830 10 year warranty 
12.5 lpm   

£6750 Baxi 836 10 year warranty 
15.5 Lpm  



All boilers come with:- 

Boiler 

Flue

Flue extensions 

Magnetic filter (protects boiler) 

Wireless programable thermostat (if not wanted remove £60) 

All radiators and valves 

All heating pipework required 

Remove and refit floorboards 

Chemical added to the system and the system flushed

All pipework included

Remove & dispose of old boiler 

Dispose of rubbish 

CO alarm 

Commission boiler 

Complete warranty

Seems a little dear to me but it is a completely new system as there is nothing just now so a reality check would be helpful.

    Always get 2 quotes, if 2 bathrooms go with the better hot water output.
     £250 between 7&10yrs warranty  is it worth it? IMO yes
    have you thought about pressurised cylinder ie magaflow etc for your hot water

    Hot water output is reliant on adequate cold water flow rate.

    If the flow rate is only 11 litres per minute there is no point specifying a 15l per minute boiler.

    I would presume the gsi  tested the pressure and  measured the flow rate before submitting a quote.
