    Newbie to the DIY area.

    Hello.

    anyway, have had a stove with backboiler sitting in my hallway unused for 2 years. Just got a chap in to give a quote to fit it to the kitchen and the quote came in at €3500.

    This includes a 3 coil 300L cyliner. (Later I intend to get solar heaters).

    This quote seem anywhere around close to what it should be?

    Ta.

    Depends on how far stove is from cylinder? does the chimney need to be lined? does price include VAT? will installer sort out electrics? Is the cylinder coppper or stainless steel?

    As you can see there are alot of varibles.

    lenght of 1" copper €32 inc for 18 feet. 1" elbows about €4 each. pump €60, valves €8. No need to line chimney. probably copper cylinder, no more than €600. Thermostat €20 etc etc VAT at 13.5%, it all adds up. to be honest my gut is telling me you could get it cheaper. How many quotes have you gotten?
