We are thinking about getting the guy from Tasyaka, who advertises in the Land of Lights out to give us a quote for central heating.
Just wondering if anybody has used him or heard any reports about service etc. Or is there anybody else out there that people would recommend?
Thanks in advance.

He is BRILLIANT. Can't recommend the guy enough. Any problems we called and he was with us.
-
He did a good job for us but we now wish we had not gone for gas (very very expensive to run).
We would next time. have a log burner with back boiler fitted to run the heating as we are burning logs anyway so would have the added benefit of hot radiators as well.
-
Thanks for that, that is just the sort of recommendation we were looking for!

The system we are looking at is the one where the boiler is located outside and runs on coal. We have a log burner but when I spoke to him today it sounded like that this would not be part of the system but still could be used as a stand alone system.

See if it can be part of the system (with a new log burner)as it's easier to keep topping it up.Just a thought but worth covering all the options.

Don,t have central heating but was talking to A Turkish guy who has and is now burning Olive Seed and is saving at least 200tl over winter.

I've been reading about this milliemars. I believe you still have the same system, with the burner located outside, but you can burn the olive pulp (I think it's what's left of the olives after the oil has been extracted) and is much cheaper than coal or wood. Have been told that the initial smell is a bit strange, though I assume it is only outside.

i know sunnyd has just had a wood burner central heating and hot water systen installed by a local company and was very impressed, but cant remember their name sure she wont mind if you give her an email
-
Thanks for all the replies. Firo, topping up isn't a problem according to the advert because you fill the boiler once a day and that is supposed to run the boiler all day!
I have heard that you can burn Olive pulp in them as opposed to coal and I know it is very cheap - 20 kurus a kilo!

Hi neesie1171... I've sent you an email.. I had the central heating previously installed a few years ago, it ran off gas and proved to be very expensive.. so I was looking for a wood burning stove with a back boiler to heat the radiators throughout the house.
I have know Hatice and Tolga for a few years and discovered that they had strted this system so went straight to them. The wood burning stoves are from the UK. Their office is located just off the 'back road' in Fethiye their company is PUS and they will call round to see you to work out the best heating solution for your property.
The system is fantastic I highly recommend it!! :)

Hy Neesie, the boiler you describe would seem to be the same or similar to one we had in the UK.It may be called a trianco boiler.It is top loaded with coal,anthracite (which is high quality coal) or coke.It is a very highly efficient boiler.A few points for you may wish to look at if I am correct.The coal must be no bigger than cobbles,because the feed at the bottom of the hopper is narrow.There will be a lever at the side which must be pulled daily to remove the clinker which developes in the fire bed.I dont know why it needs to be outside other than the chimney or the looks of it.We had ours fitted in the utility room as it does provide heat which would be wasted if outside.Hope this may be helpful when you view it.regards jon

Oh central heating I would love some of that!!!!!!!!! Best of luck sorting it all out.

Hi there, just to let everybody know that we got Hakan from Alarko out to quote for our central heating system. Anyway, we were very impressed with price so decided to go ahead with installation of system.
In the end we decided to go for the woodburner with backboiler system and we are very impressed, sitting here cosy as toast!!
Also would recommend Hakan without a doubt, he came round to see the house on Thursday, we also needed to fit a new fireplace so came back with Bilal Erdogan, less than 2 hours later to price up that! Then came back a couple of hours later complete with quote and also a buyer for our old stove!
Anyway, long and short of it, less than a week since we entered his shop we have our central heating and absolutely gorgeous new fireplace fitted! We are well happy!!

price of gas is going up 15% this month
-
yes indeed, gas is getting extremely expensiv. We have central heating with gas, and it is costing us an arm and a leg. Wish we had been better informed.... Çok geç (Turkish for: too little, too late)
But I'm not here to complain. The reason I react is the following: apparently it is (or soon will be) illegal to burn coal! Has to do with climate preservation rules that already apply for western-Europe and are already (or will be soon) applicable in Turkey as well....(are they really going to join? First smoking, now this, what is next: the very strict insulation rules (in order to prevent spilling of energy) that apply in the EC???, we shall see...soon enough, and then probably will be fined if our houses are not insulated enough - as is happening in the EC)
Not sure yet where you would find more info on this ruling...
