Hi,
I'm looking for a bit of advice really and recommendations. I have an electric only house but would like hot water. My current old square copper tank leaks. At some point I had a back boiler which heated this tank but that was disconnected some time ago, so was gas. We use the immersion and have a dedicated circuit with 16amp mcb.
I've looked at thermal stores, have looked for square tanks using immersion heater (can't find any), hot water heaters. My general hot water needs are washing up, water for shaving upstairs and the rare bath. I have an electric shower.
does anyone have any recommendations. If i were to swap the tank for another I am limited by a depth of about 40cm. Looking to spend around £500. Don't want to go into loft because presently it wouldn't support the weight, plus freezing considerations. I'm just a bit bamboozled by the options out there and need advice.
Can someone help ?
