We had a quote from BG today for a new boiler. Its to go the house we rent out so we don't want anything special, just a bog standard boiler.

We don't need new radiators or even pipe work.

Guess how much they quoted us!....

three fecking grand!!!!!!!!!!

I actually had to stop myself from laughing in the engineers face!!!

Don't EVER get a boiler from BG. They are the most overpriced company ever!

Find a decent reputable independent gas engineer; my DH's friend runs his own business and can install a whole house heating system for 3 grand.

They take the piss really don't they?

You can get a reasonable decent quality boiler fitted by Corgi registered plumber for about a grand.
BG are etaking the piss.

not only that but i had a quote from BG about 3years ago and its only recently that theyve stopped harrassing me with letters & phone calls asking if we want their boiler.

i told them no way and would never have anything from them again if this is how they treat their customers!

do you think they sell any at this price???

How can they even begin to think that they can justify such inflated prices. Jesus, i'd like to know how much they would charge if we needed rads as well
