The costs for the heating engineer quotation service start from a fixed price of €59, including VAT and excluding our service fees. This is the base rate for preparing the quote by the heating engineer in collaboration with our specialists. This amount will definitely be charged once the heating engineer has visited the location for an assessment, inspection, or measurement to determine an appropriate price. The quote fee will be deducted from the total job price if you approve the quote. We only prepare quotes for jobs with a minimum value of €500. Examples include replacing or relocating a boiler, adjusting pipework or the flue system, resolving complex breakdowns, or larger installation works. For all other jobs with a fixed price or an estimated price, you can find them here. The final job price may vary depending on the scope of the central heating work, the type of installation or boiler, the condition of the current system, the required materials, and how accessible the installation location is.

How long does it take to prepare a quote for a central heating job?
The time needed to prepare a quote for a central heating job depends on the heating engineer who accepts the request, the information provided, whether a site visit for inspection is needed, and Zoofy’s follow-up to review, format, and send the quote. In most cases, you will receive a detailed quote within 3–5 business days, reviewed and checked by our specialists.
How long the central heating job itself takes depends on the work involved. Larger projects—such as replacing a boiler, modifying pipework, or installing additional components—can take several hours up to a full day. Sometimes extra time is needed for commissioning, testing, or safely checking the flue system.
What do the heating engineer and Zoofy do when preparing a central heating quote?
A Zoofy heating engineer ensures a safe and professional execution of your central heating work. The process generally includes the following steps:
- Consultation and assessment: The heating engineer contacts you after your quote request to review all information.
- Inspection of the central heating job: The heating engineer assesses the situation and discusses your wishes and options. If needed, this is done on site, for example to evaluate or measure the existing system.
- Preparing the central heating quote: The heating engineer shares the price with Zoofy. Zoofy then checks it with our specialists to prepare a clear and competitive quote.
- Sending the quote: You receive the final quote by email with the option to accept it or give feedback. After approval, the job is scheduled and preparation begins.
- Quote validity period: You can approve or cancel the quote within 3–5 days after it is sent. Cancellation can be done via the booking page or via the email containing the quote.
- Preparation: This may include listing required materials, making the installation safe, and preparing pipework or connections.
- Payment: Payment is always processed through Zoofy. After the heating engineer finishes the work, you receive a payment request. For larger jobs or material purchases, payment can be split into installments in consultation with the customer.
