A good quote for a pellet stove with flue contains 10 essential components: from separate lines for materials and labor to the VAT rate, warranty periods, and the certificate. If more than 2 are missing, you're not comparing prices but

Good Quote or Bait Price
Red Flags
One total amount without detail: then you can't check for additional work or savings.
A starting price without a site visit, while no one quotes a flue without seeing the property.
Discount for cash or without invoice: then your warranty and certificate disappear immediately.
No brand names: no-name materials won't be available in 5 years.
Pressure to sign today for a price that supposedly expires tomorrow.
How Many Quotes Should You Request
Three is the golden rule: enough to see price differences, few enough to compare thoroughly. Provide all 3 with the exact same request, so the same route, capacity, and finish, and expect a 1 to 2-week turnaround per quote.
Also, pay attention to validity: a quote is usually valid for 30 days. Decide within that period, or request an extension in writing before comparing with a later price.
How to Compare 3 Quotes Fairly
Request all 3 with the same route and capacity, and line up the items per component. If the meter price varies greatly, first look at the type of installation and warranty, as explained in why flue prices vary so much. And if you're unsure whether the work requires craftsmanship, read when you need a professional for the flue.
