Pipes and Fittings

High-quality materials and tools are the guarantee for the smooth operation of the heating system.

Since the pipes are exposed, it is crucial to use high-quality materials that do not deform under temperature changes.

Pipes and Accessories: The average price comes to about 15 GEL per square meter. For instance, in a 60-square-meter apartment, pipes and fittings will cost you approximately 900 GEL.


Labor Costs for Heating Installation

The price is calculated per heating point. In this case, installing the piping and mounting the radiator per point costs an average of 200 GEL. This averages out to approximately 15 GEL per square meter.

Boiler Installation & System Commissioning: The average price is 200 GEL.


Additional / Unforeseen Expenses

Keep in mind that heating pipes come in 4-meter lengths and bending them is not recommended; therefore, you may need to hire transportation and laborers, which is an additional cost. Furthermore, once you calculate your exact budget, always be prepared for unforeseen expenses amounting to 10% of the total cost.

Frequently Asked Questions About Heating

For an Economy Package with Turkish materials, the total installation (including unforeseen expenses) costs approximately 4,300 GEL. For a Premium Package with European materials and aluminum radiators, the budget typically ranges from 7,000 to 8,500 GEL.

Is it necessary to tear up the floors in an old apartment to install pipes?

No, it is not necessary. The best solution is external piping, where pipes run along the walls above the baseboards. This method protects you from demolition and prevents damage to your parquet or flooring.

How can I get a discount on a heating boiler?

Datvale.ge users enjoy a special, exclusive discount at our partner store, Celsiusi, on Italian-made ARISTON heating boilers.

What is considered an “unforeseen expense” during installation?

These costs include the transportation of pipes (as they are 4 meters long and cannot be bent), hiring workers to carry materials up the stairs, and other small details. It is always recommended to set aside an additional 10% of your budget for such expenses.

How do I calculate the number of radiators needed for my apartment?

On average, one section of a European sectional radiator heats approximately 1.5 square meters. For a precise estimate and breakdown, you can use the detailed renovation calculator at Datvale.ge.
