Hi all,
I am converting my basement into a studio flat for my Dad and would like some advice over my options for hot water.
At the moment the house boiler is down there; and we were thinking of moving it upstairs and running all the hot water on electric.
He will have a shower, washing machine (-won’t use ours Gawd knows why) kitchen sink and bathroom sink.
We were worried about the water pressure but got advise & ran the house shower while running the cold water tap in the basement; -all seemed fine; so hopefully we’re OK for an electric shower downstairs.
My question is if I’m running a shower, is there some way to use that power to run the other things; with the assumption being no 2 things will be on at the same time?
I’ve looked into unvented direct mains pressure water heaters; and have been told that would work fine by one plumber, but that it wouldn’t by another (it will run out during a longer shower which I don’t understand) and that I should use a Megaflow.
Now I’m confused, any advice gratefully received
Cheers
GC
