haha!!

i too have the same conerns also.......but hor...free one leh.......plus it is much cheaper to run then electricity. But the piping will cost more than if u install a instant water heater but comparable if u install a storage heater.

What do u all think?

There is a another thread on the same topic http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?sh...ic=8366&st=

As for the Simmon bed, i got my Simmons Lakeview Plush Queen with Astro Bed Frame for around 3k plus.

My sales guy was Jim Loh from Ackerman. According to him, he is usually stationed @ roadshows and exhibition. Quite a nice chap, will listen and understand your sleep problems and budget before introducing the mattress to you.

Unfortunately i do not have his number but i believe calling up ackerman @ 64833656 would be helpful.

ckoonyin,

not only I scared gas one will explode, I will also worry about gas leakage.... scary sia. I prefer to spend a little bit on electricity so that I don't need to worry so much. I read through the link you provided but also cannot make up my mind for instant or storage.

Thanks for the contact, will call ackerman.

ya cause from what i know, there is actually a flame inside that is heating up the water coils.

Question, if a gust of wind blows off the flame, den how? Gas leakage right? There have been reports in HK and other countries of gas poisoning of the same problem.

Plus i think for many of us, it will be installed in the kitchen so ventilation will be very important.

But since it is free, was thinking to install it for the main bathroom and a electric water heater for the MBR.

What do u all think?

I was on the verge of installing the gas water heater last week. The citygas people was already at my house to install the piping and heater. But in the end, I decided not to install the gas water heater. There are a few things which I've considered:

Cost of piping: have to run pipes to kichen toilet and also to MBR toilet which cost a few hundred dollars. some people also mention the installation of switch at MBR cuz by default, there's only one switch at kitchen. So when you want to bathe in MBR, have to go Kitchen switch on heater which can be quite troublesome. Installing another switch means additional cost.

Hard to revese: It's easier to switch from electric to gas but not the other way round becasue of the piping.

Cost saving: Have read a few articles and noted that although gas is cheaper, the efficiency of current gas heater (abt 80%) is no way near electrical heater(>95%). i.e. more energy is needed to generate same temperature. Hence, cost saving is somewhat reduced.

High risk: The thing that really sets my mind on getting electrical heater instead is like what others mentioned - risk of gas leakages and explosion. While browsing for article on comparison btw elec and gas heater, I came across many articles about gas leakages and explosion due to use of gas heater. I got quite worried. There are posts in this forum which mention frequent smell of gas after installing citigas heater. To me, safety is of utmost importance. Would rather spend more to get a safe home then to scrimp on this kind of expenses.

Hi ppl,

A little update - last night just sign the dotted line with ID. Now my heart "seven up eight down" hope everything goes well.

Suddently realise quite a fair bit of things need to buy. Any suggestions for the below (brand and place to buy) ?

A) Toilet accessories

B) Water Heater (from forum posts, seems that 707 instant heater not bad)

C) TV and washing machine (heard sanyo washing machine not bad)

D) Sofa & coffee table

E) Hood and hob (get those with 2 cooker, at most 3. 4 is useless cuz you wun be able to use 4 at the same time and dangerous because chances are your wok will protrude out since the cooker flame will be near the edge.

F) Oven (saw this microwave oven in Courts. comes with convection also. so can microwave and can also bake. And super nice looking. Only selling at $299!!)

G) Lightings

H) Kids bedroom set

I) Queen size Mattress and bed (Mattress have to try for urself. Different ppl different preference. Expensive doesn't mean good. Get the one you feel comfortable sleeping on and which doesnt go out of shape and no need to keep flipping one)

Omg.... list getting longer than I expected. Shang nao jing.

Hi People, wanna ask u all.... does anyone perform or wants to perform ritual when they first open the door? If yes, how to go about doing it?

[Amoyz 0]

noelng, can remember the oven brand and model or not ? $299 cheap leh...

spinball, when I open my door, here's what my mom did (don't ask me why, I just let her do whatever she want lolx).

1) Go to everycorner of the house, throw some mixture of salt & rice (this is suppose to remove the "muddy air" and moisture)

2) Must buy pineapple to bring in (suppose to bring in fortune "wang lai" ma understand ?)

3) 5 oranges put in the middle of the living area (guess it symbol "gold" ?)

haha.... only chinese will do such things ! However, no prayer is performed as we are not really into these things.
