HOW F*CKING MUCH?!?!?!?

Wed Oct 05, 2011 2:44 pm

I need a complete Central heating system for my new (not so new) house and have been quoted £2000 just for parts :shock: :shock: I think I might just buy an electric blanket instead :lol:

Measure your rooms. Height x Width X length and a decent plumbing supplies
place should be able to tell you what rads you want. What boiler you need.
Maybe even steer you in the direction of a decent cheap plumber they supply.

but to me £2000 sounds about average. Your boiler will probably be round
about £800 trade on its own

bad times :lol:

2-3 K sounds about right to me. Esecially if you need the Radiators ETC.

I already considered that so a guy from BG came up last week, he moaned that I wouldn't qualify for the discount because the house is not yet ready....and then told me I would be looking at £5-6k :shock:

Costs alot of money to run a business these days buddy, 2k for a new system sounds cheep. Boiler change £1500 ish. New system anywhere up from 2.5k. Stay away from BG !!!

Hunt about, but go with word of mouth. Ther are some twats out there... I pick up thier f**k ups all the time!

it's a complete installation, the house is old and has never had any heating, it only had a back boiler to heat the water.
