We are all electric in our log-cabin nursery and had planned to use on-demand electric water heaters - we have a total of 3 bathroom sinks and 3 kitchen sinks, no showers, etc.
We've been recommended to go for a cylinder instead, unvented using an immersion heater. It was suggested something at the smaller end like 120L would be suitable.
These appear to go for £400-500 and I believe the actual immersion heater is peanuts?
I'm unclear how it works in terms of timers, thermostats, etc. Do you normally just set it on a timer and that's that, or would one typically have a temperature probe as well?
I'm trying to get an idea on the parts list independently to the plumber just to a)check I understand b)check they aren't padding unreasonably.
So what would this setup typically look like? Any other thoughts welcome too.
