fucking things packed up the ignition light wont come on

worse case scenario, need a new boiler fitted, so after a guestimate on a new boiler, fitted price please so i dont get ripped off when ringing around.

i see no1 does free estimates either

 

I got a combi boiler for £670 not too long ago. And I fitted it myself. It really depends on the size of your house and how many radiators etc you have, how big a boiler you'll need.

 

erm...... id say about 12 radiators in the house its gona be expensive

 

i didnt think you could do that unless you are corgi registered?

 

you can do most of it and get a corgi bloke to finish off the connections.

Is the boiler a Baxi by anychance Ian? Whats it actually doing? Trying to ignite? Overheat light on?

 

no idea what the boiler is. it only does the central heating

it wont ignite, it makes a noise when you switch it on and off, but wont do anything other than that

 

what a Coincidence my cousin just came around mine to use our bog as there having a new boiler fitted, they paid over a grand for there but not sure if that included fiting.

as someone above has said it depends on the size of your house!

pain in the ass when they pack up though, you only then see how much we depend on water

 

£1700-2000 without a visit & estimate is free, these prices in Hampshire area, the van wont get too Burton . .

 

I managed to get a Worcester Bosch of the back of a lorry for nowt. Seen same model advertised for over a grand.

Fitted it to the wall myself and ran all pipework, got a friend of a friend in to disconnect/connect the gas.

Ask around some of your mates, surely someone knows a heating engineer. Wouldn't go through British Gas or that as they just rip you off

About the same as what I would charge in Dorset as well m8

Especially this time of year

 

Have a look, hopefully its Baxi, if it is most parts can be changed and is normally fixable without fitting a new boiler. Even if it isn't it may be fixable, just Baxis have lots of spares available and are easy to sort. A decent plumber will fix it rather than replace it, of course there are plenty that will do you over for a new boiler you don't need and then be kind enough to take yours away and make money on the parts too

 

This place looks good if you do need a new one:

I only ever fit Baxi gas boilers and they are great Yes ALL parts are available to fix them but sometimes it dosn't make economical sense as the PCB's are sometimes over £150 and you are still at the end of the day left with an older uneconomical boiler that could well brake down again within a few months, with a new condensing gas boiler it is more efficent and always comes with at least 12 month sometimes longer warranty.

 

Go for a nice energy efficient condensing one too.

 

Go for a Bosch mate thats all we fit at the Mo

if you oni have the one bathroom a 28SI/CDI would prob be the best bet

Altho halsted boilers are VERY good value at the minute and come with a free remote clock etc, you are looking at about £700 is for a decnt boiler (not fitted)

The size of the boiler goes on your hot water demand to a greater extent, Its all about the LPM

 

Can get a 111000 btu Biasi condesnsing combi boiler at Bummers and queers for about 700 with 6 rads if your on a budget..

 

and it will rattle itself off the wall within a couple of months, lol

Not much dearer to get a decnt boiler from a merchants, A baxi and rads wunt cost that i recon

 

Bosch greenstar combi heating packs are around 1250 plus vat. If hes on a budget this aint cheap//

true, my new house is getting a combi to replace a rubbish gas fire and back burner, my baxi 2 is now a baxi 3, its had near everything replaced.

 

i've bought some spare parts for my old worcester from here recently and they have given very good service and delivery

We dont pay 1250 + Vat, sorry for the mix up

 

I got a 60,000 BTU Optia condensing boiler for around £600 with a bit of dodgy discount. Fitted it myself (it's an easy job only 3 wires and 4 pipes) and it works great.

i payed 2300 for my potterton boiler and fitting and the cunting plumber STILL never done it right,,, it was feeding too much gas and triggering the auto cut off,,,,, but when i called him to sort he he said hes on his way,,, waited 4 hours till i could hear he was still stuck in traffic when i fucking lost it and he stopped answering his phone


BUT the place i bought my boiler from sent me his mate to have a look at it and he checked and got it working FOC,,,,,, moral of the story is find a PROPER plumber who aint a cunt


and get a bank loan


mind ive NEVER had a issue with my boiler ever since,,,, but the fucking water seperator pump thingy aint set up so i cant ahve heating with no hot water and vice versa but i was broke when got that looked at by him and now hes no longer in london to sort it so i just life with a 60quid a month gas bill but a fucking warm house
