MLR 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) Hi Nex Yes, CITIGAS is hving promo for the 5L model, and they r hving new 8L gas heater coming in mid May, these r the only 2 models approved for hdb flats. We r waiting for the 8L unit to come in. Its not exactly free... u still hv to pay for the installation and the piping that runs to the heater which is normally outside the common toilet. After much comparison, gas heater is stil more economical in the long run.... gas is stil cheaper than electricity. Only down side is dat if both toilet is using the hot water, supply will be affected, dat Y we r waiting for the bigger 8L unit to come in. Btw, the brand is RINNAI.

Hi Nex Yes, CITIGAS is hving promo for the 5L model, and they r hving new 8L gas heater coming in mid May, these r the only 2 models approved for hdb flats. We r waiting for the *l unit to come in.

Only down side is dat if both toilet is using the hot water, supply will be affected, dat Y we r waiting for the bigger 8L unit to come in. I am looking at instant heaters, shd b 707.. Some information to share wif u all, so u can decide which type of heater to go for. Storage Heater Pro: 1. Cheaper utility bills cos electricity is converted frm gas, gas storage heater frm Citygas. 2. Able to provide hot & cold water through the house. 3. Looks neater. 4. Can have chio chio rain shower head or bath-tub. Con: 1. Have to ON it 30mins prior to usage. Unless ur heater is always ON, but will consume more electricity. 2. Have to run the gas piping for the heater. 3. Have to run piping for the cold/hot water aso. 4. Rain shower waste more water. If u r not having rain shower, must as well use instant. 5. Tank is relatively big & obvious. Personally, I feel tat it is ideal for Premium flats wif all the conceal pipings provided by HDB. Instant Heater Pro: 1. Use it instantly, no need to wait. 2. Cheaper utility bills, unless u keep the water running even when ur applying shampoo. Heheh.. 3. Cheaper labour & installation costs. Con: 1. May scald ursel if u forget to let the water run for a few seconds after u turn OFF the tap, cos the water inside the heater is still being heat. 2. Cannot have rain shower or bath-tub. 3. The heater will b unsightly to some ppl.. L3x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MLR 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 Hi L3x According to wat i understand, gas heater is not tank storage, its like the instant heater, xcept a little bigger and the 8L capacity means dat it can heat up 8L of water flow. it wil take a while like instant heater to heat up, as for consumption...once u turn off the tap, its off. We r using it for both toilets and the kitchen sink. As for rain shower, we are getting the mixer separate from the rose wif a regular shower spray for a quick shower. The usual storage tank is an eyesore and also may hv leakage from the tank after a few years.

Info from Citygas: http://www.citygas.com.sg/index.php?option...=58#product_div Hi MLR, hmmm... juz checked wif Citygas... he told mi installation for gas piping to my stove is a standard $100 charge. Then i ask abt the Heater, he told mi its $148... but i suppose its juz the heater w/o the installation bah... so u know how much r they actually charging to run the gas piping to tis heater?? is it another $100?? Hi L3x, The "Instant Heater" by Citygas one and wat u buy outside that kind one, and definately not the same as the storage one... no same same de!! I analyse for u: 1)Citygas one (Rinnai) is heat water using gas, not electric. (U save on elect, cos gas cheaper. dont worry if gas will go up anot, cos if gas goes up, elect sure go up oso one... its all related!) 2)Its not a storage type, tats y its onli 8L (looks nicer, not bulky) 3)When u turn on, it takes the same amount of time u take to heat up the instant heater. (in abt a min from my understanding, definately not 20 - 30 mins tat kind) 4)It can be installed away from toilet (but i think tats the onli place since our hse got no service balcony) The water "inlet" (to the heater) installation method is exactly like how normal heaters r run. same goes for the "outlet" (which is to ur shower head). (nothing complicated, except for an additional running of gas piping to the Gas Heater. Think tats all bah... Pardon mi if there is any mistakes... this is to my best understanding among "Instant Heater", "Storage Tank" and "Gas Instant Heater".... Pls feel free to correct mi if anything wrong... Thankx...
