    AOSMITH or Lochinvar

    Cheers guys, I am off to the ECObuild next week so will try and speak to a few chaps there to make a decision. They are both quite heavy on the gas consumption however if you want 400l heated up in 21 minutes there isn’t really any other way. Both units I am looking at are the BFC60 and...
