No pics?

I'd find it hard to justify that price when you can DIY it for a fraction of the cost. Even with a re-fillable tank a DIY job would be £400 odd.

What price peace of mind? a professional system will cost more but you will get professional after care and back up too.

a 10 year old could professionally install a fog wash heater, water in, water out, gas in and 2 batteries for the ignition,

£190 plus the price of a gas bottle, you could buy 7 fog wash heaters for the price of that one,

True but there are many things I would want a professional to do. In the end its about individual choice.

What are these many things you'd like a pro to do

[Ian Sheppard]

 I would not touch anything mechanical on my car to many bad experiences over the years including the time i managed to put a hole in the sump I was only changing the Oil.

I suppose it depends on the quality of the components and if the heater is any better than the Fogwash.

I would not trust a 10 year old to safely secure a gas bottle to my van or fit an appropriate vent. For those who are not confident at DIY a professionally installed system gives peace of mind. Also I think it is better to have a properly installed lpg tank instead of a gas bottle.

It is £1k or more less than a diesel system and costs significantly less to run, so for some it would represent good value.

I have that system in my van  fitted by  procare , and i  am very happy with it   nicely fitted out and lovely hot water , the only thing that is some times annoying is the 20 minute  safety cut out  .

What is the heater like, not an L5 or similar?

[advanced]

They all work on the same principal.

[Nathanael Jones]

The fogwash does not have a 20 minute timer, neither do the new L5's.

[Robin Ray]

If you read their information aparently you can use it to clean "sockets and facias"

Ask Nathaniel Jones.

He has had the L5 and Fogwash and thinks the Fogwash is much better. He only got about 8 months use out of his L5 before it went kaput.

[Nathanael Jones]

I've been hot for a while now & have tried a few DIY gas heaters.

I started with an Arazbao JSD20. Its a decent heater but too powerful, even on minimum heat I was worried about cracking glass on frosty days.

Next I went for an L5,.. much better heat range, I got one without the 20 minute timer, but it required a high flow rate to fire up (about 2.2 litres per minute) The L5 didn't die, just got replaced.

Next I got an Ammonstar heater (I got a 6L one, but there are 8L ones on ebay). This heater looks quite pretty (stainless steel) and has a digital temp gauge on the front, but despite the sellers claims, it is not available without the 20 minute timer. My ammonstar heater died after 8 months due to the ignition unit melting,.. a MAJOR design flaw that could prove dangerous IMO. I'd never recommend one again.

Now I have a Fogwash. It doesn't have a 20 minute timer (good), it doesn't require modification to run at lower flow rates, it has a very good heat range & it is CE marked. Its also easy to fit a flue to it (unlike the L5 units). It is the best heater I've used so far by a long way. The only downside is that its a bit ugly.  :

Apologies Nathaniel, I must have misread one of your posts.

Some of my customers have spend thousands on having their barbeques installed by a professional, you can never be too careful with gas!  

*I hope everyone's sarcasm detectors are on*

 

I all seriousness, £1500 for that made me lol.

Having a professionally installed system is one thing, but a lpg add-on is child splay, heck the heaters them self when imported are cheap, ditto for refillable lpg tanks. Couple of jubilee clips, regulator, braided hoses and you are done.
