Hi,
I would appreciate any advice on this. I have a few odd plumbing jobs to get done in my house and so used tradesman.ie the other day to source a plumber. The main problem in my house is the lack of water pressure and as a one-off-fix-all job one of the plumbers suggested installing a combi boiler. He qouted me a price of €2000 for the boiler and its installation which would (presumably) include getting rid of my hot water tank and tanks up in the attic. I hadn't planned on spending this kind of money at all and I'm wondering does it sound like a competitive price?
Thanks for any help, DE

Might be better to post over on Rec / Home & gardens / Heating & Plumbing, I'm sure someone there can give good advice.

Its a good price for a combi alright but why get one? If the water pressure is reduced you will have no hot water, also you have to have good pressure to start with. You will still need a tank in the attic to feed your toilets and wash hand basins. If a part goes in it you will have no hot water either. If you have pressure issues why not install a pump on the system to pressurize it. IT would be a lot cheaper. Also try onlinetradesmen.ie it's a better site.
