Cost of Central Heating

[jaid]

Hi, I am looking to buy an old property with no current central heating system, can some advise how much it would cost to put new system in a 3bed house which would also heat water, i know it is difficult to judge without size of property but just wanted to know how much to expect to be charged to get someone to fit new central heating with parts?

Also how much does it cost to get gas plumbed in if their is gas in the street but not in this particular house?

think of a number, multiply it by 100, call in BG to quote you, then call in 3 other local tradesmen. don't go on price - choose the tradesman who is willing to offer you references from several previous customers and who doesn't suck through teeth when you ask about condensing boilers

Don't bother with gas. The North Sea reserves have almost run out and gas will soon all be imported at a silly price. All these gas engineers are on borrowed time and many will soon be redundant.
Fit a multi-fuel room heater, to burn wood or coal, with a back boiler with the knowledge that there is a permanent source of fuel for it. Get a real fire and enjoy it.

dont suppose you could post a pic

 

[shaggy]

A pic of room heaters, a gas pipe-line importing gas or gas engineers queueing-up for the dole?

 

[kevplumb]

or failing that a pic of that bloody stove you managed to fit

I got Transco to put gas in recently, £395. but it was flats and no trench needed to be dug. You can dig your own trench though. The price depends on what work is required in bringing the supply pipe to the property.

The actual gas meter is usually supplied and fitted for free by one of the gas supply companies e.g. SWEB
