Boiler prices ökofen: why is it so expensive?




by kumkat » 26/05/11, 16:33

Hello the Econologists,

After dreaming a little on the Okofen website with a Pellematic + a solar balloon, I asked a salesperson to call me ...
Very professional, honest in his speech, but damn what is this expensive thing!
€ 20000 mini for the whole and again it's me who bumps the house silo for lack of adequate space ...
Are there credible alternatives to this brand that are "cheaper" and "just as serious"?

Here is a really inexpensive one made in Belgium: https://www.econologie.com/forums/chaudiere- ... t9983.html less than 2000 € delivered but not installed and Belgian aid deducted!

I do not know (at all) what it is worth, but surely not expect the performance and performance of an ökofen, especially in terms of cleaning (comfort of use) ...

But who knows?

I don't know how long it will take for the investment difference to pay off but it may be long (because the return on the burneco must not be so bad!)

After the quality of the pellets also counts a lot!

I am in France and not in Belgium as my ip shows you ...
therefore ± 7000 € is half less than an okofen ...
to dig ... I found a nice page here: http://www.chaudiere-pellets.com/marques-chaudieres/

There is also aid in France ... in my last memories (fuzzy, to check), a pellet boiler is 40% tax credit (= 4200 €) + maybe some local aid?

You may have talked about it during the appointment?

Please note, you must compare what is comparable: the Okofen boiler must be around € 9 (catalog price)

Then, the solar tanks, the panels, the regulations managing several inputs, circulators, silos and management of the feed automatically from the silo ... all this is paid for.

I don't know what the 20 € included?

Now you always have to compare quotes.

Ah I didn't understand that there were solar panels with it!

I thought solar balloon "waiting" for solar panels.

In this case, indeed, you have to put into perspective and compare what is comparable, with the same level of equipment and service!

No, France is becoming a poor country! We make a big Grenelle, we chat we chat ...

And then we sugar tax credits: 22% on the boiler / regulation (the silo is disputed by the tax services)

[removal of aid for conversion to LPG, etc ...]

so of course but I do not buy the boiler alone without silo or installation
the boiler installed without the solar DHW should turn in the 15000 €
I don't have a quote and it's better because a guy who gives me a quote by
tel without seeing the implantation would not be very serious ...
it's still a lot more expensive than a conventional gas boiler with good performance.

Wait for the answer. It is I who interpret in view of the slate.

A beautiful complex system has to be paid for !!

Drilling holes underground with simple summer thermal solar will be barely more expensive to heat in perpetuity without CO2, and nuclear pollution as functional at:

MODERATE: VERY GOOD .PDF BUT THE LINK I HAVE HATCHED IT !! YOU ARE ABUSED. LET'S TALK ABOUT IT IN A TOPIC.

DO THIS TOPIC THAT SUMMARIZES IT ALL! AND YOU CAN GET THE LINKER AS MUCH AS YOU WANT!


without ever changing a boiler, or consuming anything !!
only the hot sun wasted in summer found in winter to heat !!!
