A side effect will be this liquid, called condensate, which is usually acidic, has to be piped outside to a waste pipe or soakaway.

What is the average price for installing a new condensing boiler in the loft ,old boiler is 10 years (kitchen)

condensing


I have this homecare 400 Cover with British gas since last September. This covers Central Heating System,plumbing electrical.
My boiler broke down as the flue was leaking rain water from the roof into the boiler,located in the kitchen. A B.G engineer came to repair but instead condemned my boiler deeming it dangerous and disconnected it. I asked them for a quote. Installing a new condensing boiler in the loft, with new flue sytem will cost 3800, inclusive of discount £400 off. I wonder if that is double its actual price. Will I need some other quotes ohter than theirs? I presumed it would be in the region of £2200.00.
