Worcester 18/25 Heatslave 2 with flu.

Supply and fit, nearly 4k plus VAT!!

Not done one for a while but this feels savage

You can’t compare oil and gas,gas are buttons compared to oil,it must be down to volume sold.

Combi boilers cost way more than a system boiler.
I bought a new outdoor system boiler for £1200 last year,non condensing so nothing to go wrong.

 

[Boysground]

I’ve just done a gas one in a rental for £3k so i guess the oil one won’t be far out

Bg

In December 2023, the CHMM was postponed from April 1, 2024 to April 1, 2025. The UK government is also reconsidering its stance on the levy, and some say it's unlikely that anyone will be fined.
