Gas boiler supplied and fitted price

quinner58

Had a man in to quote me Changing from oil to gas from Homegrade Ltd.
He went around house and quoted me a full change over and applied for the SEAI grant.
will pay the Bordgais gas link from road (€249) He stated all the things that a new system can give , a much much better efficacy etc. an all-in price of €5,150 (also a MagnaCleanse RapidFlush and filter on all rads ) The grant ( SEAI) is worth € 610 which brings it down to €3930
I am total new to this so what do you think
Thanks

I would get a few quotes, as over the internet it's can be hard to have a opinion without seeing a job. The boiler make, warranty and where's the local service guy are important so it's worth finding out or checking back here to get a idea of what your being offered in way of a boiler.

A local RGI may be a good place to start, to find a good RGI you could ask around your friends for referrals or talk to local merchant as they have an idea who's good or bad.

Also if you could start a new thread for any further question as this thread is two years old and has a argument in it involving two grumpy gas fitters:D

Careful where it says rapidflush filter on rads. Make sure the price is including a powerflush first, then fit the filter

Agree with all above.
It's impossible to know how complex the job is with out seeing it. Get more than one quote and take recommendations into account.

Also not to have the system power flushed at this point would be crazy if anything it will eliminate any doubt that there is in relation to a dirty system.

Why not ask a few of the gents here who is on your area to quote?

Hi, speaking of quotes, I have an inquiry about a complete installation. I am in the process of putting in an entire new gas heating system. Have contacted Bord Gais Networks and they'll bring the gas in (25 meters).

House is 2,000 sq ft. Requires all piping to be fitted, 12 new rads around the house, 3 zones along with a 4th for hot water, new 900 external tank with 3.5 bar booster pump (external).

Also requires a 30 KW boiler, 300 litre triple coil Cylinder, hot press being relocated up one floor. It will be connected to a stove and possible future solar system.

Can anyone provide a ball park/very rough estimate for such a job? Cheers.

Hard to say without seeing but could be between €6000/€8000.

True, But hard to say without seeing it.

It's like when someone corners you on the phone for an estimate, I'm alway's wrong in reality

gdavis

oh ive left myself in the sh1te a few times doing that johnnie

JohnnieK and Gdavis - much appreciate the replies. Had a guy have a look and he said I'd be looking at 10K+ but, as you say, it's impossible to tell without a walk through. It's a retro fit on a 120-year-old house so it's probably more awkward than a new/recent build.

Looking for a quote to go from Oil to Gas.
Its in Celbridge.
would be looking for 2 or maybe 3 rads to be changed from single to double.
Its a 3bed semi with 6 single rads and 2 doubles at the moment.

Thanks
