Here are 10 top tips to consider for your bathroom renovation plan:
Hi folks,
lately we did a quick comparison on the cost of replacing an immersion heater. We asked some electricians to give us a rough estimate of what it would cost excluding VAT to replace an immersion heater and what complications if any could affect the price of it?
Here are a sample of the replies we got below. We have broken the answers down into two groups, 1. Dublin electricians and 2. Electricians outside of Dublin.
