Hi
Is it possible (and allowed) to swap out old gas boiler in Settlers Court for an electric one?

If yes, can anyone recommend a competent, reliable and cost competitive engineer?

Many thanks.

G-Man:
steved yes you can. few discussions already here. just to a search

Hi G-man

Thanks for advising.

Have tried searching with a few key words but no posts turned up.

FYI have recently had some companies round to quote:

* Due to recent legislation about gas flue length/angle, they all advise (for my flat at least) that electric boiler is the only solution.
* Quotes vary from £3.8k to £5.2k which when you consider the boiler as the largest single cost is approx £1k inc vat then the labour element appears extortionate for 3 days work!
* Other materials would be no more than another £1k at worst, leaving approx £2k labour for the week, roughly equivalent to £100k per year salary. What the hell? Pure greed!

Peter De La Mare:
Rob Dent has done many boiler replacements on the estate, give him a call, he may have already done one in a property with the same layout as yours.
