Has any one got these fitted ?
Can you buy them over in the North ?
If so do the shops have a good selection ?
What sort of costs ?
If you have them fitted how do you rate them ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Kiblet, a instaneous electric water heater needs a electric supply of suitable size cables. The ones in my place would not take the load. I bought a heater off ebay that made widley exagerated boasts of what it could do from a 13 amp supply. totally useless, sent it back. A stored water heater for under the sink would work but it could be more cost effective to boil a kettle. Be careful and seek professional advice with regard to the wattage of the heater and cable size from your board.

why not get a gaz water heater that can be plumbed anywhere into your hot system but it needs to be a pressurised system they work like the old fashioned all fow type things just kicks in when you open the tap

Thanks Andrew but really wanted a quick and easy supply of hot water to feed wash basins, kitchen sink and shower.
I need to contact some electricians for advice, if any one could recommend please ? English speaking essential.
