Expensive & not worth it

I asked BG to give me a quote on a now boiler as my boiler is getting quite old now. BG qoted over £2000 for a simple job to change my existing boiler and install a new one in the same position. Some brick buildingwork and plastering was required as was a power flush and treatment of the heating sysem. I also wanted a new radiator in the bathroom which was included in the price.

Compared with some horror stories I have read online just over £2000 seemed ok at the time but I asked some independent local gas fitters to give me quotes and the cheapest one was for around £1100, which included a power flush and rebuilding work around where the existing flue is. Also BG wanted to install a Baxio boiler which I did not want. I currently have a Glow Worm boiler and would like another as my existing one has been fantatic. You can also choose which boiler you would like with an independent gas fitter, although some have their favourite brands to install.

Shop around - it is not difficult to better a quote by BG.
