Hot water and waste in detached garage conversion

B

Blogissimmo

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.

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?

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)
