Boiler with baseboard radiators

[Patrick Strain]

I've been going through a lot of hassle getting a new heating source installed in a 1000 square foot single family property. The property had a mobile home furnace in  it when I purchased the property. It died last spring, and I decided to have a proper heating system installed. My local HVAC guy quoted me $14k to install a small boiler with baseboard radiators. Though this seemed high to me, paid for it in full because the property is occupied and I needed it done. Here's the question: Does that seem outrageous to anyone else? I feel like he may have given me a f*ck off price hoping I'd not accept the offer. Unfortunately for him, I need to get this done.
