My boiler has broken down again and ive decided im goiung to get a new one put in instead of wasting money on trying to fix it only for something else to happen to it. Ive currently got a Sime combi boiler and im looking for a good replacement thats decently powered but small in size (and lowish in cost).
What should i be looking at getting, as in brands, out put, etc?
I have read that some fitters wont fit if i supply the boiler, as it can cause problems if anything goes wrong with it, manufacturer/fitter to blame etc. So do i have to get someone round who supplies and fits them or do plumbing supplies places normally have fitters for their boilers?
Is it easier and less costly to just replace the combi with another combi as all the pipe work should be there to start with, a bit like take old boiler out and swap with new one?
Is it a long and expensive job to replace a boiler, ive seen some around £800 but this does not include fitting, is there a rough price guide for fitting a combi? I know every job is different but am i looking at a few days work at £80+ an hour or can they be done in a day? I heard once that it costs around the same for fitting as it does to buy the boiler.
My house is a 3 bed semi with 9 radiators,
Sizes are:
Downstairs
155L x 60H 150L x 35H 60L x 60H 47L x 70H 87L x 60H
Upstairs
70L x 60H 82L x 52H 105L x 60H 100L x 60H
Ive tried to find a calculator online for working out what output combi i need but ive come up a blank.
Any help much appreciated, thanks.
