A hot-water system costing £5,400
PLUS!!!
fitting
PLUS!!
V.A.T.
IMO that is as good a rip-off as you are ever likely to see.
This is from a W.F.P. supply company 5 miles from me.

Well those prices its going to top out at about 7K, you can buy a car for that. Its ridiculous. Just plain stupid money.

Yes, but it will pay for itself in the first week!

As with window cleaning, suppliers have hidden costs too (mainly premises and wages I imagine).
It would be wrong to just add up what the bits cost and tack on a decent wage for someone to do the work.
-
I know what is a more reasonable figure Ewan, IMO a simple water heater doesn't top out at 7K, a boiler that heats your house costs approx 8 - 900 squid (plus the labour of a registered gas-fitter for a day). This is plainly a rip-off there can be no doubt about it.
I went to these guys when I was first contemplating a van-mount system, they wanted £500 to fit a split charge relay. When I queried the figure they reckoned it would need to be in the garage for a day and their mechanic wanted £300 to do it ;D ;D

Just done a quick google search.
Their paperwork says they use an Eberspacher Hydronic water heater
which start at £250 according to the google search results page ;)
-
But how much should these things cost, you haven’t mentioned a price what would be a fairer price?
Difficult to define fairer?
Two well known proffesional suppliers prices for a 'standard' single 40' RO 650 ltr van mount fitted....
Supplier (a) £3995
Supplier (b) £2100
Supplier (a) also sells a fitted single 40' RO van mount that is heated for 7k.
Supplier (b) doesn't do one.
My guess, based on no more than plucking a figure out the air is that it should easily be possible to have a fitted heated system similar to above for 3.5K.

well I just had an email that can supply a system for 2k diesel,
and peter fogwell is working on a gas system at around the £400 mark
-
Anyone know when Peters will be ready???

but there again you get people to buy it,cause it got a name on it :o :o
-
Yes, but it will pay for itself in the first week!

I know who they are.......... they are on that trading estate opposite the old fire station.
-
Thats just about it Steve, a little down the road about half a mile, but not far.
-

That's what every high flyer says on this site when they realise they have just blown their savings on a load of overpriced tat.

At least you got a price ;D We asked for a "quote" for something about 6 years ago and we're still waiting for the price ::) So long ago forgot what it was now
