Title: Hot or cold?
Post by: bad trippy on September 27, 2009, 08:04:52 pm
Havnt got a van mounted system yet but will do so in the near future.
I have to weigh up whether to go for a thermo system or just a cold one? Need your advice folks, help me decide!

Trippy I would start with a cold system and wait for 12-18months as more and more manufacturers are bringing out hot water units for the WFP so that will drive prices down.
cold water does the job.
Hot water systems are approx £2,000 more.
But you will kick yourself in 12months time when you can get one for £800

Yes mate, she is being made redundant in 2 weeks and we both thought to press on with the business, she can use the WFP lol also she is a dab hand in the office(she is a pen pusher by trade) lol
The shed at the bottom of her garden is huge and we are turning that into an Office.
She also knows how to price up the window cleaning customers, so she can nip out to quote as I am out cleaning.
