    robinsons, shoomart...
    these buys usually now come with "free installation". they will install the thing for you, "free of charge". but you will pay (thru the nose) for the accessories they will use in the installation.

    i suspect, the manufacturer, like car makers, practice price control across the metro.

    And just like air-con installers, they will insist you buy their cheapo circuit breaker even if your house already has one.

    I would suggest buying from ACE Hardware or Handyman as they have direct contact with the distributor in case the unit goes kaput. Their stocks tend to be newer too (especially at the malls) and there likely is a 0% installment option if you're buying using a credit card.

    Just be mindful that the installers need to be watched over, in case they screw up your tiles or the drainage in your shower. If your shower area already has provisions for a wall outlet, you'll most likely not need to get the circuit breaker they are bringing with them. They will insist that it isn't safe without another circuit breaker, but that's BS. My analogy for it is that it's like wearing a second condom on top of another.

    We have a dedicated circuit breaker for the shower heaters. They are both centrally-located, meaning, there are no breakers in the bathroom... just the 20A grounded outlet (same or similar to the common A/C outlet).

    The water heater itself did not come with any plugs... just the power and ground wires. I provided the installer the 3-pronged 20A plugs. It's been over 12 years and so far so good.

    As long as there is already a dedicated (not shared) circuit breaker for the water heater then yes, no need for another circuit breaker.
