I'm about to buy a new heater and have been looking at Planar 44d.
Have any of you tried to buy heaters on this website? http://heaters4you.com/
On some websites they have a Marine version and a regular one like this one: http://www.autoterm.cz/en/2-produkty , and on other sites they only have one that is universal?
Is the universal fine?

Registered in Russia, no contact details on page. I don't think I would be using them, even if they are legit you'll have VAT and import duty to pay.

(Edit) I do lie, they do have an address on the about us page which is the same as the whois address.

Autoterm seems legit but they distribute directly from Russia which means VAT and import duty.

(Edit) The price on autoterm includes VAT.

You haven't given much information. What make/model of boat do you have? And where is it kept?

I have a Albin Ballad 30 feet which is stationed in Gothenburg. I'm from Denmark and planning on ordering a Planar 44d from a website.

Why not ask a Swedish dealer for a price? There's one in Gothenburg. Or a Danish dealer? All the dealers are listed on the Autoterm website - https://www.autoterm-europe.com/en/partners

Well I wanted to buy it from the internet to get it as cheap as possible.

It's a common misconception that internet purchases are the cheapest. In reality, most local dealers will be prepared to match online prices. It will be much more convenient for you to get warranty repairs, etc, if you've bought from a local dealer rather than someone in Russia.

Alright, I'm still going to buy the Heater from a website- but I will buy it from a Swedish dealer.
Now i don't know whether to get small, medium or a Large set.
As my boat is in Gothenburg I'm not visiting it all the time and want to be sure I bring everything I need.
The previous owner had a heater webasto or eberspacher i don't know but some of the parts is still there. And there is also a store nearby that sells parts, but the store only sells Eberspacher and I don't know if let's say a intake pipe from Eberspacher will fit Planar.
The best outcome would be if I could buy the small set, use some of the previous owners parts and buy the rest in the nearby store.

Sounds like the boat will already have an exhaust skin fitting, and some ducting, so installation should be fairly simple. You may be able to use the existing fuel tank take-off pipe too.

Alright thanks for your help.
