Hiya daveysloan,

My husband a retired heating engineer says in his opinion he would never put a spanish water heater inside a house unless you are really familar with the 'flue arrangement'

Although it would seem the Spanish are comfortable with this arrangement.

Our water heater is outside and the flue is positioned to take the products away from the house.

He would also be happy to use a thermostatic shower.

There are a few small plumbing shops around but he tends to use the bigger DIY shops like Leroy Merlin at Cartagena or Brico at Crevillente.

Good luck

With regards,

Mumashine

If the electric boiler is in the bathroom you cannot legally replace it with a gas one in that position. You can have it in another room but not actually in the bathroom. even if you put in extractors.

Dave,
                     I guess you know that just like in UK any gas installations must be signed off by a gas qualify engineer.   
 
Probably cheaper to let him (or her) to suggest the type of installation and for them to do the work.
