Central heating maintenance package that I have come up with, thoughts?

Hey guys Recently acquired a sentinal jet flush machine for £110 quid which I think was a cheeky bargin I must say ;-)

I was thinking of making up a sort of maintenance package Consisting of a boiler service and powerflush for around the 200-250 mark, including chemicals etc what do you think?

Too cheap

£60 for a serivce depending on boiler

£300 for power flush

It's going to take you a day to do the work. You don't want to be selling yourself too cheap that your custards expect it that cheap all the time

And we all need to make a living

£200 a day = 52k a year - van tax Gassafe etc = (if lucky) £24k a year

I would say that's not enough. But it's your choice

And what are you going to do if the powerflush goes wrong and you need to do extra. Do you think your cost will cover the odd mistake?

Iam currently charging £50 for gas combi's(exc any parts), £70 for oil (inc nozzle exc other parts)

Iam still jst at the consideration stage atm toying with the idea and its pitfalls, thinking of the real world demand for such an idea.

Far too cheap. Even the own brand chemicals are around a tenner a bottle plus VAT so that's £20 off straight away leaving you £180 to £230 for the day, and that's on a small system. That's a wage, not a realistic charge. You've got to factor in all of your business costs as above.

When the big boys are charging £600 plus for a powerflush you can go in for £400-£500 for a flush and throw in a free system filter.
