The Rip-Off Irish - Danish Price Comparisons

On the left is a picture of a Boink 16Kw (Kw means kilo watt, one kilo watt is the equivalent of a single bar electric fire) central heating unit.

It comes complete with: Boiler, Burner Unit with 100 step modulation, and a 1.6 meter Auger Unit. The retail (not wholesale mind you) price in Denmark is Dk Kroner 20,400 excluding tax. Translated to Euro that is €2739 + VAT. €3314 including VAT.

Why dont you check out what the dealers in Ireland are asking for this unit???? And bring a chair to sit on and some Valium with you! So the shock will not kill you!




Next we have the Bio-Comfort Central Heating Unit from Boink. This is a high efficiency unit quoted at 93.3% efficiency. (that is really high). The 16Kw unit is what is being dealt with here.



















The BioComfort 16Kw unit, which includes Boiler, Burner with 100 step modulation, and 1.6 meter Auger Unit, has a Danish retail price of Danish Kr 24,400 not including tax. This translates into €3273 plus VAT.

I will be adding more evidence of the Irish "Greener Homes" Grant Rip-Off - so stay tuned!!
