Turc oil fired condensing boiler

mrjoneill

Being offered a Turco oil fired condensing boiler for less than €1,000. What are its negatives?

crock!

They come with a bentone burner the new type and not every one has spares for it.see how much a grant vortex is as there really good

mrjoneill

big difference in price that one is over €1,7000 this one less than €1,000 both are in the over 95% efficiency rating.

I paid €1150 I think for a 50/90 Vortex boilerhouse a couple of weeks ago I think. What size Turco did you get quoted for?

Similar ques as OP. Would a 50/90 suit a 70's 4bed semi D. Kscobie was that plus or inlcuding vat?.
MrJoneil: where did you get your price?

Is it true condensing oil boilers are more problematic than A rated non condensing.

There is no such thing as an A-rated non-condensing boiler!
They are not problematic if they are commissioned properly but some are as not problematic as others even when they are, sort of speak!

What I should have said a HE non condensing unit

Still no such thing! High Efficiency Non Condensing. It just don't sound right!

They are discontinuing it so I’m not going to state till I make a few more enquiries. It’s a 21 kw Ambassador indoor model. It’s coming without a low level flue kit and the price sough is €900. Think I’ll have another cut in that.
Anyone know where that could be acquired?:(

personally I have no experience with Turco boilers, A friend of mine was getting a good price on them and fitted a few but a while ago he stopped fitting them and went back to using Grant vortex.

IMO the Grant vortex is worth the extra money

Best price I got so far for Turco/Consul boiler 27/33 €1298.20 inc vat+ €127.81 for the balanced flue kit. Anywhere else doing better.

Thanks

Yup, I could a lot better than that for a Grant Vortex. I know where I would spend mine.

Just remember a 27/33 was quoted! I have given my comment based on the 26/36 Vortex.

Ill find out exact prices tomorrow. No harm to know anyway

IF you know of any merchants up this neck of the woods doing similar will you PM please. I have to go and size up the house tomorrow with the lads to make sure but I think there is a 50/90 in at the moment.

shane0007

Yeah I would have suppliers in Dublin.
Is it a boiler house model you are after?
I thought you have gas!

cubix

Yep boiler house model, different job. House owner was looking at scraping the oil and getting gas in. From looking at the BG site it seems reasonable, do they still burrow or do they want to dig up a garden

shane0007

If Nat Gas is available, I would definitely go that route. €251 from road in, maximum 15m from boundary to meter location. €40 for every meter after that. They worm it in.

Vortex 26kw boiler & flue €1,175 incl vat
Vortex 36kw boiler & flue €1,415 incl vat

Remember you will have a lot more to buy with that, pump, pump valves, AAV, PRV, remote acting fire valve, fittings, etc.

cubix

Yeah was looking at those prices on BG site, long run dont seem to bad.
