May_dream1 14 Report post Posted March 6, 2012 Hmm.. Off the tap and on again? You mean u don't have to wrap a towel around yourself and run to the heater at the service yard to activate it again?hahaahhaha... of course not! that is the best thing about gas heater. When you on the tap, then the heater will know you want hot water, then it will auto turn on the gas, then the sparker (like lighting gas stove with a match) will be activated then flame will come on. The flame will heat up the water then you have hot water from the tap. All these within seconds! so if the flame got blown off, then you just need to off the tap. Then on again, and the heater will know you want hot water, then the whole process starts again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

getzski 1 Report post Posted March 6, 2012 i hate the $100 charge to "CONNECT" the gas pipe to the hob. i mean when they come to "CONNECT/INSTALL" the gas heater it was a lot more work, and it's free.so when you compare the "connect gas to hob" which takes only 5 minutes, you don't see that rationale, other than it is a monopoly pricing. the gas heater is also pretty unstable. (it may be just my unit) i had the gas setting "perfected" two weeks ago, and suddenly it does not work anymore. i had to change the settings to get it to work the same way it used to be. very frustrating if you are in the middle of a bath.

GraceLoi 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2012 The citygas heater is up. I wasn't there to see how the gas pipe installation is.I don't like Citygas's charges. The heater cost 168 with 60 free pipe installation. And they charge another 100 for cooking gas pipe installation?? I thought entry gas pipe should be the same? Anyone can advise? I mean I still have not seen the installation.Notice also the grilles were removed to facilitate the tiling works. Got the quotation from contractor it's 130 to install the grilles back. Previously I intended to remove the grilles and change windows but I changed my mind just before work started.Renovation all talks $ mah... they dont rob you (us) now then when wor...

Maybe the piping wasn't done properly so the heater cannot detect that you need hot water?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neo's reno seem to have other cost like trunking plastering, door knob change, though doesn't seem like much but add up also few hundred plus liao...Another question... is it common for contractor detached / remove window grill to do tiling.. but charge $ to fix it back ?

NeoBY 1 Report post Posted March 6, 2012 Hi NeoBY,Have you tried out the heater? I wanted to get this heater from citygas too but my contractor keep telling me not to...dunno why.No leh. Never tried before. Why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeoBY 1 Report post Posted March 6, 2012 Yup, they keep asking me to get storage heater but my mum is using storage and I hate it when I have to wait for like 15mins to have hot water.Then they tell me citigas heater's flame will be blown off half way thru your shower i f wind blows this n that... Is that true?Also, may I know do I have to wait for hot water to come like the storage heater? Or it's like instant?**thinking of starting my own Reno blog but will only collect keys in may, too early I guess**I saw somewhere the person said hot water very fast leh.
