Buying a boiler before install?

creativedrinker · 2022-06-15 20:23:30

Just looking for some feedback, I’m upgrading my boiler and rads and bought in all the bits thinking it was the smart move to get all the items I wanted after some advice and reviews. when I went to ring for quotes for install I was told by a few installers no one would touch a pre bought boiler as they need to get it…

when I went to ring for quotes for install I was told by a few installers no one would touch a pre bought boiler as they need to get it themselves to install for guarantee… am I better returning the boiler and starting again getting the installer to buy one?

I would think so. Imo the tradesmen should always supply the materials.
From your point of view, if something goes wrong after a few months, who do you blame? Supplier says installer & installer says supplier.
I don't do boilers but I don't install products (showers) that I didn't supply. It can get very messy. It's usually cheaper for me to supply anyway
