Hi all,

I've just bought a really tiny flat in Woking which is electric only,
and I have a couple of questions I thought some of you guys might be
able to answer. Forgive me if this information is repeated elsewhere,
I have searched and found some information but not the complete answer
I was after.

Firstly, the flat has an immersion water heater and a rather large
cold water tank situated just above it. I am willing to live with any
water outages that may occur due to damaged pipes/water suppier works
etc if I could gain a bit of extra storage space by removing the cold
water tank. Is this possible? I have read that the immersion heater
may not be able to cope with mains pressure. If this is so, can mains
pressure be reduced or is there a less space consuming way to deal
with this. Or is reducing mains pressure not wise at all!
Secondly, is an immersion heater the best way to provide hot water in
an electric only flat? Are there any new and exciting tecnologies that
could be worth looking at? I don't mind starting from scratch as the
flat is so small and there is not central heating.

Finally, and on a different tack altogether. The flat is fitted with
electric ceiling heating, which to be honest I had never heard of
until our homebuyer survey came through. Whats the general opinion on
this system? Information on ceiling heating seems to be pretty rare on
the net, although I am told that it is fairly common around Woking and
Guildford.

Thanks for taking the time to read. Any ideas and info would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks

David
