Hi.
I've taken my immersion heater out and want to replace it with an instant hot water heater.
The unit will be placed on a wall at chest height from where the immersion heater control was sited (Horstmann economy 7 quartz)
The fuse on the fuse board says it's a 16A.
I only need it to heat water for a kitchen sink & bathroom sink which aren't too far away (Both ground floor)
Looking at heaters I am baffled as to what to get.

Can anyone point out what I should do from here?

Is the fuse good enough to use with a heater that is fitted?
What heater should I be looking for? (vented, unvented, what power, etc)
