Electric heating and hot water - whole flat

[jicms]

Hi
Could someone tell me where to get advice on heating and providing hot water (no gas) for a small 2-bed top floor conversion. What size tank would I be looking at? Can they go in a cupboard?

The search button would be a good place.

But,

150 litre tank, and a 6 or 9Kw electric boiler would be a good start.

Heatre Sadia do the Electromax of which we look after several with no problems (water treatment is essential though).

Will fit in an airing cupboard.

Electric storage heaters.

Or

Standalone wet radiator heater.

Unvented hot water.

Thank you. This is a good start so I have a bit of knowledge to discuss the options with a plumber/electrician. Any rough ideas on costs?

Can you lend me a piece of string?

Electric wet central heating, which is the cheapest to run, take the form of two types; first is a 'flow through' type boiler, cylinder & radiators. Second & best is a 'storage' type boiler & radiators. The later being the best with a large unvented cylinder with an internal coil for the CH.

Fitted a few of these & they're very good;
