Hi,
Busy doing a total house renovation, and it's plumbing time. My plumber wants to charge me 550 euros for a boiler, but won't explain why it costs that much when they are 150 euros upwards in Bricodepot. It's a straightforward electrical boiler, just for hot water (bathroom, kitchen)- no heating system would be attached to it. So I may just buy it myself. This will be the first time in my life, never mind in France, that I've bought one so I'd love to avoid fatal flaws!
1) Am I being unreasonable?
2) Are there any features to definitely make sure are included, or any brands or types to avoid?
It's challenging doing a renovation on your own in a new country, as some of you will know, so I'd greatly appreciate any comments that help me make the best possible decision - and soon. Thanks!
Contact Michael or Vicky Swan at www.enershop.eu/ Tell them you budget and needs, say I said to tell you to enquire. They are English but working within the French market, all over the country but importing generally far better installations than are available here but which are eligible under French legislation. A few SFN people will endorse this advice, in fact they are members but not frequent users as well.
sorry error - It is a shame you do not have a plumber who will talk
Hello Suzanne,
I just compared a boiler at 110 euros with one at 355 euros
The cheap one heats water for one tap and has to be placed above or below the sink
The expensive one can be put in several places.
power 1200 watts cheap or 2000 watts for the expensive one
one serves one tap the other serves 2 to 3 people
One has a guarantee, the other not.
Choice of 10 litres or 75 litres capacity
Time taken to heat to 40°: 15 minutes or with the bigger one to 50°C : 2h36
In my opinion, you would be buying an elaborate electric kettle if you paid 110 euros and if my plumber recommended a more expensive one, I would probably take his advice. And on the basis of a straightforward comparison between 110 and 355 euros, the price does not look over the top. I do find it a shame that you have a plumber who is willing to speak with you though.
