What is in the price

  • The unit in dollars — imported, priced abroad.
  • Duty and freight — FX-linked, added on arrival.
  • Running cost — power or gas, itself price-sensitive.

Timing and the rate

A heater is both a purchase and an ongoing energy cost, the same forces behind microwave and oven prices and AC prices. Watch the live USD rate before a big purchase.
