Hi,
One of my client has a detached garage with access to electricity and cold water. The plan is to convert it to a granny studio.
What's the best way to:
1- get hot water to install a sink/tap and a shower
2- install the waste water drainage

Many thanks in advance for your time.
Kind
 
So shall the cylinder be connected to the main central heating of the main house (tricky) or shall i go for an electric cylinder?
Also what about a tankless design to save space with for example an instant water heater? Any pros/cons of we compare with unvented cylinder?
 
You could use a Heatrea Sadia RP9.5 it depends on budget
Are you referring to this instant water heater on the pic attached?
Can we run a shower and kitchen tap at same time?

Electric and add solar to the garage maybe ?
 
Instant heater will have poor flow rate especially in the winter.
As Shaun, far better to have an unvented cylinder.
If it’s going to be a self contained granny studio I would definitely heat it from within that annex - even if this is electric only.
A dual immersion cylinder is good for this scenario (economy 7 etc)
