LPG or Oil- just moved in

£1000 was laying the concrete base for the tank.

Worcester Danesmoor 25/32

Tank is a 1300l

Still sounds to me a lot of money.
The concrete base can be a big labour job, to be fair.
Everyone deserves properly paid and you have to factor in other materials like mag filter, firevalve, zone valves, plus flushing the system chemicals etc.
I would get other quotes.

Prices I am quoting are for only basic and smaller output Grant boiler, - a system boiler or separate components will be extra cost on top of that.
The Worcester boiler will be a more expensive choice also.
The 1300l tank is not the most costly tank size luckily

I have a few other quotes to come. I expected oil to cost more- but £4k is a big difference!

Couple of installers I work with have both gone over to fitting air source heat pumps, reckon running costs of the new inverter ones are a third of the cost of other fuels and run their own houses on it. With uncertainty over future of gas and oil supplies they tell me it is the way to go.

Second quote for a external Grant Vortex, with 1300l tanks and a unvented cylinder in the loft, £12k.

That is a lot for labour

Indeed

What you you expect a Grant Vortex external 26-35w to cost?

I think we are leaning towards LPG given the very high cost of moving to oil
