At that point, I regretted my purchase of the instant heater. I asked the SP person about the CITYGAS heater ysterday and realised that the FREE INSTALLATION is only mounting the equipment on the wall of the service yard. The plumbing part ( 2 pipes to connect hot\/cold water) needs to be done by a plumber! <\/p>\n<p>I told my contractor about this and he explained the whole process to me. He even suggested how to tell the Citygas pple to run the pipes. The est. cost of plumbing for the Citygas water heater is about $350!!! wow! so expensive! The reason is because the distance from the service yard to the toilets is quite far, so the pipes need to be long. Besides that, drilling will be needed. Gasps! So, I didn&#8217;t quite believe that it&#8217;s so expensive, I called another seperate plumber and ask him for quotes. This other person quoted $400-500!!!! Price is even higher..<\/p>\n<p>Fine.. I will just go with instant water heater. Installation cost is at most $50!!! (most quoted me $40)<\/p>\n<p>To make sure that I am making a good decision, I called CITYGAS and enquire about their heaters. I was surprised that the customer service officer is sooooooooooo polite and patient to explain everything to me in details!!! Thumbs up for customer service! Finally, SG is catching up with good customer service. It&#8217;s interesting that she even advise me to think through properly before making an implusive choice to choose Citygas heaters! Anyway, I wanted to call to make appointment for Citygas gas installation BUT she advise me to look for my stove first ( decide on whether the connection is left\/right, measurements 2.5ft\/3ft) then mk the apointment<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t bought the stove yet&#8230; hmmm&#8230;. not sure if I shld buy the items myself or go shopping with the contractor and buy together with him<\/p>\n<p>Blessed are those who have your other halves with you when doing reno \ud83d\ude41 I think I&#8217;m just gonna miss a chance of my life&#8230; not sure if we will even have a chance to really mk a nice home &#8211; everything for this flat is not what I want it to be&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For records, CITYGAS is different from SP (Singapore power) Right after I bought the instant heater, my dear sis chitchat with her collegue and found out that CITYGAS WATER HEATER is only $168 and there&#8217;s FREE installation.
