Help needed: how much should a new combi-boiler cost?
- Thread starter Buzzer
- Start date
You can look up online how much the boiler costs and then expect 300/400 hundred for a swap over. Very rarely is it a straight swap if you have had the old one for a few years either. It's a good earner for the gas boys as they can do one in a day if all goes right.
What boiler is in your quote Buzzer ?

Well done on making a pop on all the qualified tradesmen here.. Of which, there's some very good brickies, chippies and plumbers on here.
Lets hope you never need any help eh ?

I know who to avoid.

I can be nice for a grand. Not too nice though.

I only had a pop at a big mouth who can dish it out in spades but can't take it. I've just been saying what great guys the guys in the trades are. There is one person I'd rather not deal with though.

SIMMO is NSC's go to person in this field so he has an undisputed good rep. He has pointed me in the right direction just recently.
Sorry to disappoint you but I'm older than 15.

What you think I'm going to be ripped off by some idiot who wants to charge me a grand just to swap a combi boiler over? I'm in the business of making money not giving it away. I personally think two grand to change a boiler is insane but fair play if you can get the mugs to pay it.
I'd rather freeze
Fair play to you, but the price you said and your first comment on this thread hasn't really helped the OP one bit, this thread isn't about you getting a deal because the OP hasn't got a gas installer mate called Tony.
Not sure when you bought the boiler but today's price isn't £400.
Charming!

The boiler was on a deal but that is irrelevant here, all the resident plumbers got a bit touchy with me because they know a grand to change a boiler is taking the piss out of the average homeowner.
me neither

I've always had bad luck/expense with boilers.
First place had water tank and a really old boiler. Had all that taken out and a new one put in that I had constant problems with. Was a good make but with a design fault on a circuit board that was never identified until I guess word got round the installers.
Eventually found a very good boiler guy who happened to quite clever with electronics. He took it away and mananged to get it going - but that was the last chance. Unfixable after that and they company had rightly stopped making the board.
So 5 years after installation had to have the whole thing pulled out and replaced with a new one.
In the current property an old boiler that I spent hundreds on to keep going. Couldn't have it replaced because I actually needed it moved long term into another room.
So all that done now.
The point is that I've had three boiler installations (both swap and complete rip out and move) and accouting for inflation - I'm not sure I've paid the above until the last occurance (probably just over) where there was quite major work re-routing everything.

Grow up. Deliberately altering someone's post to abuse another poster, is not big or clever.
I tend to agree
