A relative had the same boiler installed in April for £2440 including power flush and magnetic filter.  That was in the West Midlands

I live in a three bed; two storey semi detached house that has twelve radiators (most have thermostatic valves).  i currently have a standard boiler (Potterton he 85), which is located in the airing cupboard in the middle of the house i.e. not on an outside wall.  i have one bathtub and two showers.  The flue is located on an outside wall.  The cold tap flow rate is aver(age.  i live in Lincoln.  My current boiler is in full working order, but it is expensive to ensure (£65 PCM) as it is 18 years old (wandering whether now is the right time to replace it).

I was provided this quote to replace my Potterton he 85:

Worcester 30KW 4000 10 year guarantee: £3,179

Upgrade to WB Comfort+: £40

Is this quote reasonable? My research here is telling me it is: https://www.boilerguide.co.uk/cost-of-new-boiler I.e. 3-4 bedroom average is £3000.  My research here is also telling me it is reasonable: https://msm-boiler.comparisoncreator.com/quote/

I had one other quote of £2,800.  However this was from a call centre I.e. they said they would only inspect the boiler on the day they replace it.  The company I have chosen recently replaced my neighbours boiler and they were happy with the work.

You can also get a quote direct from Worcester. I have a customer who needs a new boiler, their quote is for an 8000+ 35KW system boiler, a more expensive boiler than yours. 

The quote was £3125 with a 12 year guarantee. 

It’s cheaper than what I can do so directed him there.
