There is no gas network in Vlorë, so domestic hot water is almost always electric — well over 70% of Albanian homes rely on an electric boiler. That makes the water heater the hardest-working appliance in any Vlorë property, especially through the humid winter when cold water arrives near-freezing and the unit runs for hours a day.
For rental properties the stakes are higher: an undersized or failing boiler is the single most common guest complaint in Albanian seaside rentals. We size installations for real occupancy — two guests showering back-to-back need a different unit than a retired couple — and we install with proper safety valves and secure wall fixings, not the improvised mounts we still see in older buildings.
