Please stay reasonable.
I suspect that instead of copper, stainless steel pipes were installed. Steel pipe is completely sufficient and just like stainless steel, it is just as high-quality as copper, if not even better. Therefore, I cannot see any defect here. The thermal expansion of the steel pipes is significantly lower. Thus, the installation of the steel pipe could very well have technical and structural reasons.
In a closed heating circuit, there is no air. Therefore, it cannot rust. Especially under plaster, copper is rather unfavorable.
To now claim 9,250 euros in damages from this is very cheeky. If I were the contractor, I would offer to replace the pipes for you. You really don’t want that mess. What happens then? A rightly annoyed craftsman breaks open your walls, maybe damages other pipes, and messes up the whole thing by patching it up again with copper pipes.
Your tiles and grout will become crooked, the dirt will be in the house, maybe he’ll even catch something with the ladder and scratch your front door badly.
It’s only about your ego. Are you by any chance a teacher?
So take the 500 euros and that’s that. What’s this all about?
