After years of cajoling, my mum has finally decided to change the combi boiler in her ground floor flat (2 bedrooms + CH). One of the options that British Gas gave her was a Worcester-Bosch 24i (The other was a Potterton ProMax 28 HE) The quote which includes installation, a new thermostat and a little pipework and a years "free" maintenance came to £3045. (This price includes a govt. OAP's grant of £300 and some extra dscounts - without them the price quoted was £3750)
When she told me the quote, I was stunned. A quick google shows that the Worcester on it's own is available for just over £500 ex VAT. The Potterton is a little over £600 ex VAT. Now I'm not too concerned with the price of the boiler, but I do think that the extras that bump the price up to £3k are taking the mick. What is the going rate to remove the old combi and install one of these? She lives in London, for the difference it makes.
Thanks Pete
