Gas Heaters @ Pavi for €49

Post new topic

RubyMarie

I just wanted to let anyone who's interested know that until the end of the month, November, Pavi has small gas heaters for €49.  The price is while supplies lasts. We went and picked one up last weekend.

FYI- it comes with the hose but you need to go buy the smaller canister and gas- Pavi does not have this.

Just in case anyone is in need since its starting to get pretty chilly out there- or at least in the houses!

Did you manage to find anywhere that does the small cannisters? Although it's still pretty warm outside you know what the flats are like- I get freezing!

We have a gas bloke that comes down the street but they only seem to be big ones. Also, ours comes at about 7am and blares his horn for about an hour- do u get this?!

what size do you mean by small ? the gas sellers should stock 10, 12 and 15kg bottles for domestic use

Are these the standard size gas heaters (which a 12kg bottle just fits in), as they are normally € 55-70, or do you mean smaller ones

I got mine yesterday, it is a nice heater.
I wouldn't recommend you buying the Gaz regulator from Pavi, You can look for this "Made in Italy" model if you want, that looks safer after fixing it on the Gaz Cylinder : lelang.kantongtebal.com/photos/74373629-6e4d-42e1-ac6a-6e479e271ac8.jpg

Have a warm winter :)

@ georgeingozo- Here is the link for the Pavi flyer that shows the gas heater. Unfortunately they don't mention any info about it though and since we haven't opened the box yet I'm not entirely sure of the canister size that would fit properly. I'll have a look tonight.

@ Darlin- can you tell us the size of canister that fits since you opened yours up already?
@iamharibo- I haven't looked for a small canister yet, we both work during the week so its hard to catch the gas truck that comes around our place. And yes, it does come around 7-7:30am and blares the horn! But at least I'm already up and usually about to leave for work by then :o)

Here is a link I was sent of fixed places that you can find the gas trucks in case anyone ever misses their local truck in the mornings.

Hello RubyMarie
Sorry I can't give you technical specifications about it, as it is not written on the cylinder, but if you go to any point of sale and ask them for one to use for the heater, they will be able to help you, as most gaz heaters are using standard cylinders.
you can check this image, it is the one : gozonews.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/gas-tn.jpg

the weight of the cylinder is stamped into the cylinder metal

Darlin

I found it, it is PH 30 BAR - 12.5 KG
After searching on enemalta, the stadards are 10kg, 12kg, 15kg for domestic use and 25kg for commercial use.
So the heaters should be the medium one of 12kg, though mine is graved 12.5kg on the cylinder, I think it doesn't make a difference.
hope this help.

Awesome! Thanks for the info now I know for when we get one :)
