Our 'new' house is all-electric. In the kitchen is an undersink water heater, looks about 2 gal, in what appears to be a fibreglass casing (sorry to be wooly, not in the house at present).
It works fine, but doesn't seem to hold the heat very long.
Would be very difficult to run a pipe from the main hot cylinder, and in any case this is quite a long way from the kitchen, so I intend to keep the water heater but would like to make it more efficient.
Will it do any harm to build a box around it and insulate with 1" polystyrene?
