MaCe 3 Report post Posted August 31, 2007 Really ah? I always thought storage heater uses much more heat because it heats up the whole cylinder. So if you don't finish using the whole cylinder when you bathe, some of the energy is wasted.Should be the other way around rite? one bath using instant heater (15 mins) uses much less energy than 1 bath using storage heater.the instant heater's 15 mins is equavilent to a storageheater's 45mins. do your math Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaCe 3 Report post Posted August 31, 2007 Qtns:1 Really difficult to book them? (I'm receiving keys on 14/7, want to start on 17/7 and complete one month later, no wet works, just dismantle existing feature wall x2, built in study + painting, false ceiling, feature wall, bed head, built glass to enclose the kitchen ..other carpentry works in 2 rms)huh? July? hobee is packed with reno - you better get him fast.2 since they do not provide 3D, how do they confirm final dimension of carpentry work ie. TV Console? Must I be there all the time to make "on the spot" decisions?thx all..ah keong will draw something 3D for you to confirm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
