Combi Condensing Boiler - How much to be fitted?

[bonnie&clyde]

Hi. I've now sorted out the damp proofing and full re-wire and have come across another obstacle. The house I bought has a back boiler. How much do you think it would be to have the back boiler taken out and a combi condensing boiler fitted? I know there are sites where I can get a good boiler but i'm worried about how much to budget for the actual removal/fitting.

expect to pay around �1800-�2000 for the full job that will include the removal of your old hot water cylinder, fire, back boiler, ancillary components ( programmers, pump etc... ) and supply & installation of a new boiler, compatible programmable wall stat and new trv's so as to bring the system up to the new reg's & standards. Also try to avoid buying your own boiler unless you have been instructed first buy a competent person on its output required for the site and your usage. And remember we can only install condensing boilers ( except for a very few exceptions )now and you have to prove why you couldnt fit a condensing one in that case, which is almost impossible to do believe me. so dont even think about a standard combi or you will be wasting your money.

It's probably a silly question but, would the amount you mentioned include the boiler? It probably doesn't but it just gives me an idea of how much, in total, to expect to pay. Thanks for your help with this!

Yes it does include the price of the boiler but this is only a ball park figure as rates vary across the country and also your boiler requirements. My ball park mentioned is for the average 3 bed semi household in the West Yorkshire region. You will also have the additional cost of a new fire aswell. If you want one that is.

I work for a plumber/heating engineer.

As gasman said �1,800 - �2,000 and I live in Northamptonshire

Hi, Last year I had the following done, Combi Boiler, Wall Thermostat,, removal of header and immersion tank,crystal filter in water line and new gas feed as the one I had was not man enough for the job.
The boiler was a Worcester and the lot came to �2,300 including VAT. I had three quotes and the local company which did the work was the cheapest. The most expensive was British Gas.
Although I have a problem with the boiler now ( no hot water ) it is being dealt with by Worcester. The boiler has a two year guarantee.
Apart from that everything Gasman says I agree with.
Certainly in the summer my gas bill dropped quite substantially. Rgds Al
