I remember the first time I used ‘hot hot’ on a conservatory roof. (Jobs I kinda hate but take on because always end up perched up a ladder. Send the helper now) Made the job so much easier. Muchless Scrubbing so time saved. Also water saved.

Defo helps with regularly cleaned Windows too.(besides being nicer to work with) But the monetary value isn’t as high based on time saved v initial and ongoing running costs when compared to a conservatory roof or facia job.

But I’ve currently spent £690 building my 9.1 kw system running 1 pump (2 to come) and running it on 25% waste and red diesel. Yesterday used about 2.5l fuel costing around £1.50 for a days work. Did I save enough time over the day to clean £1.50 worth of Windows. Definitely.

After all we are businesses focused on making money. A profit. I feel the investment is worth it to my business.

as long as i can make roughly 30k profit every year after all expenses,insurances and taxes are deducted im not arsed about the £20 a week it costs me to run my diesel heater every day all year round.even the initial cost of 4.5k over 10 years isnt massive amounts of money to spend on a safe water heater with frost stat IMO.....£450 a year which for me is around 2 days work......

£20  to heat between 1500 and 2000lts of water to 60degrees , not joking you and Nathan K  should go into energy saving water heaters, you could make some real money and help solve global warming at the same time. lol

We spend around £60-80 per week to heat 1000 ltr per day but that also includes driving but not much mileage

Daz your heater must really be a duffer then  ;D

6 hours constant run at full is 5.4L , X £1.27 is £6.85 a day or £34.29 a week .....not £20 is it  ;D ;D

Even that sounds cheap, think of what it would cost to run a 9kw electric shower at 60 degrees for 6 hours a day five days a week and it wont include the fuel duty you have to pay on diesel.

some days im only working 4 hours a day so the heater is probably only on for 4 hours 45 mins(30 mins lunch and 15 mins drive to work first thing)so not 6 hours  every day.......im a part timer like you now rich! ;) :)
