Central heating price work

[slocm3105]

Hi all

Just wondering what kind of rates you guys would expect if doing price work on installing central hearing systems. Bonding has to be upgraded if not there and all main earths 16mm regardless of supply due to the contract. Combi, y and s plan prices please. Also please add for the need to run a new spur in if power not available by boiler.

Cheers

What do you mean by tincture bond slocm3105 ?

combi £75 y/s plan £90, thats what i was getting paid, regardless if i was there 1 hour or 5 hours, van and materials supplied, doing 12-14 jobs mon-fri.

I meat cross bonding lol. Was that working alone then Liam?

 

[liam b]

yes that was on my lonesome. i started sub-contracting too which was £130 a job, i supply everything.

 

[slocm3105]

Just out of interest were u upgrading bonding and earthing on every job?

 

[liam b]

No. Just if there wasnt 10mm to gas and water. Do the radiator if its easy enough. Trunking looks a mess in an expensive tiled bathroom

So u don't always take it right to the meter and stop tap?

 

[liam b]

the gas i do my best, but always internal runs under floors and trunking in corners, sometimes point of entry for external meters but if its just a case of drilling throught the wall and into the meter box ill do that. the water can be a right pain, ive had stop taps outside half way down the back yard and stuff but that gets done anywhere really as long as there isnt any visable plastic elbows or t's. to be honest if its going to look bad for the customer and a pain for me it will get done in a suitable place, i wont spend more than 2 hours bonding, i have a job to do aswell...

 

[slocm3105]

Fair play that's what I'm guna do from now on. Have spent 4 hours doing bonding before

I used to get £150 a y plan, £90 a combi I supplied the cable they supplied the controls. On a good day 3 combi or 2 y plan, all I had to bond was the bathroom. If the main bonding needed doing it was £80 a bond at the time. That was about 8 years ago
