Decentralised hot water

Two AC heating rods for more self-sufficiency

-

The so-called autarky boiler is now available in three sizes from Timo Leukefeld. Thanks to the ingenious technical concept, it also saves landlords time and money, as the decentralised boiler eliminates the obligation to monitor for legionella.
