Urgent Electrical Help Required

[Barbarossa]

I've got a shower straight from the pipes, through a thermostatic control valve, but then I've got a mains-pressured hot water system which means I always have high pressure hot water whenever I want it, so I guess that makes all the difference...

In the morning it's so hot it'll burn the skin off your back!

Stand facing the water then

Hot water stored in tanks, how quaint.

Far better to just heat the water you want, when you want it.

Preferably by gas, but simply because it is cheaper.

How is that better? then you gotta wait for it to warm up before u can use it.

we just turn on the tap and off we go.

I'm not so sure it's cheaper. Our tanks are very well insulated.

Nope, instant hot water for ever, no tank which will eventually run out.

I think mine is rated at 45KW, you can heat water at one heck of a lick with that sort of performance.

@VB, I meant gas being cheaper than electricity.

There are gas heaters available in tank type also.

Another thing is electricity is very inexpensive here in Quebec.

that would get to be an expensive electric bill.

no?

edit: NVM did that math and here it would add up to about 6bucks for the whole family to have daily showers. B)

no clue what the water heater tanks cost monthly though.
