Hi, thanks for reading this, hope you can help!
Basically we've had a bit of a nightmare with the plumber we chose and have had to rip out all the work he did because he used the wrong pipes etc.
We now think he may have given us the wrong info about the hot water heater he was going to fit as well.
We asked for an on demand water heater instead of a boiler because we live in a one bed flat (in which we are re-doing all the plumbing) and only have an electric shower and no bath. So we only need hot water supplied to the kitchen and bathroom taps to wash up and wash hands.
The plumber told us he would by the heater and that it would draw 3kw. We have had a 3kw feed fitted as we are also re-doing the electrics. It has now been rendered and plastered over completely a couple of weeks ago.
The problem is that my boyfriend and I have looked online and can't find an on demand heater with such a low feed - we can only find what seem to be mini boilers which hold about 20 litres and have a heat up time of about 7 mins. That's not what we actually wanted and we're really worried because if we have to rewire to allow 9 or 10kw we have to rip out loads of the plastering etc.
Is there any way to overcome this?
Thanks in advance,
V
