Tax Credits, Big Fleet Advantages and APU Prices


Sure if t is.


Last year an espar cost me $450 installed. All because the ignitor chamber became fouled from bad fuel. The year before it was $500.

$450 wasn't for the whole kit. Sounds like just the head and a refurbished one. Where was that done?
 
No it was not just the head. They replaced the entire unit and exchanged it.

This is exactly what kind of post pisses me off. You lead people to believe you had a complete Espar installed for $450!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All you did was exchange for a used rebuilt one. Details MAN!!!!! It's 101 questions to get the real truth sometimes!!!

Ban yourself for 1 day
 
All Thermo Kings are different prices. I was just in Thermo King in SC and it was $1,800 installed. Also, Thermo King is not the only place that handles Tri Pac sales and installations.
 
I have a backup Espar D2. Just the head. Brand new for $500 off Ebay. You can buy a rebuilt one but they only fix what's needed. Have the blower go out and TK will charge you the same to fix as it cost me to buy a new one.
 
You have your wlexperience and I have mine.


Neither of which is bad. So why do you try to make others seem inferior.
 
Not trying to put people down. Just trying to state the CORRECT FACTS when people tell false truths by leaving out important details. I have first hand experience with the Espar and APU's in general and when people just throw out figures that are not true like $20k for an APU it gets to me.

I can buy a trailer tire for $500 anyplace but I get the same one for $190. Same thing with APU's and the Espar. I see a lot of posters jack up prices on everything so they can justify not fixing their Espar or not having an APU.

My APU/Espar combination has payed for itself many times over. After a while you just become numb and I don't feel like helping anymore. Everyone can design and build a better mouse trap until they do and realize they can't.
 
Same reason I insisted on having a tripac on the truck when I bought it. Could I make one, sure. But why reinvent the wheel. Its easier to simply make improvements.

Now, I have a control system that will be more robust than anything I could ever cobble together.
 
If you go to Thermo King for anything it is twice the price. The Espar heater is something like $1,800 installed there. The price online is $800 and takes any idiot 2 hours to install. I know because I did it.
I wish there was a way I could upload the audio file when they did tell me they wanted 20 k for a unit :stare1:. I just asked em what kind of camel shit they were smoking there's no way in hell that I would pay that much for a unit. I did add the site that you posted to my favorites as that's more reasonable!! hell wait a minute maybe I forgot where I lived for a minute :confused-96: I live in the second highest taxed third world country besides NY & NJ:eek:
