Is this the final quote or subject to a site survey? If the later it will probably works out dearer. Also the price is minus the grant as Board Gais process that now and take it away from the quote the customer gets i.e. €2940 + €560 + €80 for BER = €3580.
Board Gais have always come in a lot more expensive on any job I have quoted for by over a thousand euro in some cases.

You should get them out for a detailed quote and then get a couple of independent heating installers in to quote also any you will be surprised at the difference.

The reason is overheads.
Board Gais need a cut, Sierra need a cut and the contractor sierra get to do the work has to be paid.

Let us know how it transpires.
