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.

[Dave Willis]

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

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

[telboy]

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.

[gewindows]

Thats just about it Steve, a little down the road about half a mile, but not far.

[Steve_c]

 Funny that. A firm in my town are filling up at their premises daily.When i see you i tell you all about it.

[Dave Willis]

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

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 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
