Write a boiler installation quote that spells out scope and exclusions
Customers compare installation quotes line by line, and the one that says less often looks cheaper. A quote that lists what's included, what's not and what could change the price stops the "your quote is higher" call and the argument about extras after the work starts.
Steps
- After your survey, write your own notes: the existing system, the boiler you're proposing, the flue route, pipework changes, controls and anything you're leaving as it is. Boiler choice, sizing and flue positions are your decisions, not the AI's.
- List what's included in the price, what's excluded, and what could change the price once you're on site (for example hidden pipework or parts you can't see).
- Paste your notes and the prompt below to get the quote in clear sections.
- Compare it to your survey notes and rewrite anything that isn't exactly what you'll do.
- Add your price, payment terms, validity period and warranty details yourself, then send it as a PDF.
The exact prompt
I'm a Gas Safe registered engineer writing a boiler installation quote for a homeowner. My survey notes (all decisions are mine): existing system [description]; proposed boiler [make and model]; flue [route and terminal position as I've planned]; pipework changes [list]; controls [list]; removal of old boiler [yes/no]. Included in the price: [list]. Not included: [list]. Things that could change the price on site: [list]. Price [£], valid [x days], payment terms [terms], warranty [details]. Turn this into a clear quote with these headings: Work we'll do, What's included, What's not included, What could change the price, Price and payment. Plain English, no jargon. Use only what I've given. Don't recommend any equipment, size anything or comment on regulations.
