Hi,

May i know where did you buy multi-point heater and how much was it? Did your contractor install it for you?

I am also considering C600 because storage tank does look ugly and bulky.

Thanks.

I got it at Chelsea Lighting, same place I bought my fans. it's $280. installation is additional $100 and is covered under warranty. my contractor was not familiar with multi point heaters so I left installation to the heater vendor.

Hi,

Thank you so much for the information. I shall visit Chelsea Lighting this weekend

regards

Your multi-point electric instant heater is interesting. Is it left switched on all the time? If not, where is the switch located?

nope it's not switched on all the time. the switch is outside the common bathroom, same as the switch of a storage heater. i got the electricians to help remove the extra heater switch that was outside the MBR bathroom since it's now useless.

it's kinda combines the best of both instant and storage heaters -- "instant" hot water (takes about 15 seconds actually, water needs to travel through the pipes), and just one heater supplying hot water using the HDB concealed piping to the two showers + two bathroom mixer taps like a storage heater.

HDB now lays dual concealed pipes (one hot, one cold) to the shower and basin area? Nice.

Exciting progress Lemoncandy! Is it ok to have the kitchen sink near to the cooker? I am thinking of something similar so I want to ensure if it is safe.

And about your fans, Mr K's guys did not install them for you? So I assumed Mr K is not charging you then?

i think it's recommended to have at least 40cm of space between the sink and cooker for you to put down pans/pots for practicality's sake. Otherwise, i don't think safety is an issue, but do check with the professionals on this.

my fans are not installed by mr k's guys so he's not charging for installation

I can understand your excitement upon receiving the carpentry drawings! btw, I think carpenter drawings are v nice n fast

Multi point heater is really something new. Where did you put it? Will it be unsightly?

yup i've gotten most of my stuff. very kiasu right. i'm ALL READY to move in once the house is done hahaha. great that you confirmed your carpentry! it seems like it'll take a couple of weeks of manufacturing in the factory so it's back to waiting.. boo. my carpentry discussion was chop chop. i told mr carpenter, he confirmed with me, drew it out and we were done. barely any back and forth lol. lightings shopping was the most tedious part for me.. ugh. hope it goes smoothly for you!

it can go wherever electric storage heaters are meant to go. for my BTO, that place was the common bathroom where the concealed pipes were all done up, so that's where my multipoint heater went it's not very unsightly i guess. it's slightly fatter than an instant heater, and has a couple of short pipes running out of it, but that's it. what you see is what you get. some plumbers use metal pipes, mine used flexible hose. the plumber who installed for me added a tap so in case any leakages happen i can turn it off right there instead of cutting off the water mains.
