how to get hot water

[johnad]

I would like some suggestions please
I have an old cottage with open fires so no need for central heating there is no gas at the property I will be installing an electric shower so then I just need hot water for the sink (kitchen and bathroom) currently I have a hot water cylinder with an immersion heater im not bothered about the tank but I would rather remove it if possible I don’t think its worth oil heating just for hot water so what’s the best thing to do ?
I’m not really bothered about having hot at the bathroom sink as it’s only used for a quick hand wash after using the loo or brushing teeth

There are under sink 15 litre electric heated tanks which can supply two different taps.

That would be ideal for your needs!

To allow the water inside to expand some use special taps which are expensive and designed to open when the pressure gets too high.

Others are expected to expand back up the water supply pipe. But in case they dont they have a presure release valve ( PRV ). Those types need a pressure reducing valve if the mains water is higher than the setting of the PRV.
