HOW MUCH? New Combi heater needed... (21 Viewers)

[JJ]

It appears parts are no longer available for my non working Trumatic C-Heater water/air heating thingy...

A replacement is going to be in the region of €3000 (fitted)...

Do I have any other options?

What do you lot think...

I'm getting a tad smelly...

Might be worth stating model and number for others to comment for you…..

Small domestic electric water heater, very cheap.
Do you have mains or enough solar?

 

[Jabstatt]

Sounds about right!
I had a new one maybe five years ago and it was £2500.

If you are handy, how about a Chinese diesel water heater?
Best of many worlds. Or mega Solar?

Sounds about right I’m afraid, I enquired when buying our MH as I knew the boiler was obsolete. I was told £2500 ish but luckily ours has been fine so far.

The propex 10Ltr 240V heater is the cheapest option if you have enough solar/battery which I seem to recall you had recently upgraded? Around €200.

Takes half an hour and 800watts of 240V to heat up to maximum. So 400Wh or there abouts. With decent solar, LiFePO4 and an inverter it should be doable in your location?
Also can easily be used off a 2KW generator, I presume you still have one of those really noisy yellow ones.

My truma combi has just given up, with no spares available, I’ve replaced it with combi4e bought from Jackson’s for £1350 did the install myself, then has a gas man check it. Did take 3 days as all the pipes needed moving.
