The Baxi boiler in my house is only used about 3 days a week for about two months of the year. Its 18 years old and the gas valve packed in last week. The ESB charge €205 & Airtricity €320 for the part which can be bought online for €100 approx. Repair call out and labour are extra.
I won't pay exhorbitant prices (double or triple the average) for parts and the ESB won't carry out a repair if I supply the part.
While researching the price for the part online I noticed new boilers equivalent (but more efficient) to mine but none of these boilers seem to be stocked by anyone in Ireland. For example, Plumbnation in the UK stock lots of reasonably priced boilers from £550 up.
The water and gas are already in the place where the old boiler is yet I haven't seen one quote from an Irish provider that is below €2500 for an install. The cheapest boiler Airtricity supply is €1900. They all seem to be promoting the SEAI grant thing as a way to get customers to upgrade/spend more. I have no need for these type of boilers/controls.
Is there any Irish company / RGII installer that installs the cheaper type of boilers?
