Fitvip Supersonic February 26, 2021 Share February 26, 2021 When my first Joven JH25 broke down after many years. I called Joven. I was referred to a contractor who had been dealing with Joven heaters. Same model replacement with labour was about $380. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best is gas heater becuase gas is so dangerous that pub is regulating who can supply and install gas heaters so end up the prices for the heaters and installation fees are tightly regulated Heng last time I believe the govt install gas heater. For 20 over years only paid less than $500 for one replacement, installation and various small repairs. ( i didn’t diy this one) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That guy brought in high pressure jet, some stuff... Many years ago, my bath room was flooded. It was near to new year. I couldn't clear it myself. I called hdb and referred to a handyman. Over the phone, he asked for $20 and I agreed. The man came with a flat toilet pump (not the bowl-shaped one). He went in and gave a few hard shoves down the pipe and the problems was solved. It was an easy job! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're mounted on the exterior wall or balconies for safety reasons. Although running cost is lower, the water is either burning hot or ice cold. No luke warm. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard market rate is $150 to $200 for bring in the machine to clear. unless need to cut ceiling, walls and other works. I think any plumbing job is $100-$150 just to come down. he could not fix it and ask if I want to get machine. My case is complicated as we filled up a water trap and build a study over it when my contractor Reno our place 10 years back. I wasn’t at home though. It did fix the slow water flow which we had endured for years. Wonder how long it will last... if it last for years, I consider it $400 well spent. If the problems comes back.... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
