As a rough guide, how much would it cost to install central heating (8 radiators) in a 3-bed terrace?

Answer 1

Well I just had (only) a new (gas) BOILER fitted (plus one extra radiator) - by British Gas - £4,000. Just to give you an idea. Probably cheaper not to go to BG!
Shop around. Good luck.

Answer 2

Including a boiler you have to decide on a conventional or combi model.

Avoid British Gas as they are expensive. Employ a Corgi registered heating engineer.

Companies and franchises tend to be more expensive than a 'family' business.

Read Yellow Pages and choose at least FOUR from which to receive quotes.

Listen to the sales patter and make a judgement whether or not you trust the person concerned.

Make sure you have a firm price and a firm date for installation. Some will take the order, promise a date and once they have a deposit they will trot out any excuse to delay matters.

Estimated cost £1500.00 to £2250.00 but this depends on where you live. London rates are higher!

Answer 3

Depending on the boiler & fuel type you'll be looking at around £2k. Last time I had it done I asked 5 companies for quotes and there was quite a variation. I watched them put it in, now do my own except the connections to the boiler which has to be done by a Corgi registered fitter - things are a lot easier now using plastic push-fit pipework, doesn't take a real expert.

Answer 4

imagine back. Spot heating is a options a lot less intense priced to instal, and to run. And more effective type of abode equipment and adaptableness of utilization change into available than with a serious heating device. Many terrace residences are merely no longer spacious adequate to choose a serious heating device as marketed very effectively to those sorts of previous few a lengthy time period by way of their manufacturers.

Answer 5

I can't remember the exact cost when we did ours and ours is a three-bed terrace. I think it was either 1500 or 2000, it may have even been 2500. I would look in the yellow pages and ring round for quotes.

Answer 6

about £2500 - £3000, all in, including your programmer and thermostat, I'm a spark and I sub the electrical side of heating installations for a company in england/wales.
hope this gives you a fairly good idea of what to expect, about 3/4 days for the plumbing work, then another day for the wiring, this is all dependant on the shape of your house, and the positioning of where everything will go,
oh, and make sure tyhe company doing the work will provide you with all your relevant part P paperwork, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, other wise you will be in BIG trouble at some later stage, you work will be in fact deemed ILLEGAL,

Answer 7

Budget for anything from 2000 to 3000 popunds.. depending on whether you have double glazing, the size of the house, the number of external walls, whetehr cavity wall insulated etc.. but 2 to 3 grand should cover it easily!

Ta very thank you!

Answer 8

Get three quotes then go for the middle one.

Your boiler will cost around £800-£1000.

Rads will cost around £30-£50 each.

I would estimate total cost around £2000 including labour.

Just dont go for the cheapest, ask around for recommendations.

Good luck.

Answer 9

well i think its about 2-3 thousand cud be less coz they have alot of work like taking up the floorboards etc it maby less but u cud try and phone a company like british gas and see how much they would charge or just look in phone book for central heating installers see wot they charge till u find the best deal for you

Answer 10

I think about £2,000+ if you have a combi boiler as the other answers have said get a few quotes consider! if they ask you were the radiators will go or they give you no choice and they fit for the easiest!
