Unvented Hot Water Cylinder Installation & Servicing
High-performance hot water systems for homes and properties across Warwickshire and the North Cotswolds.
Ambient Heat installs, replaces, services and repairs unvented hot water cylinders throughout Warwickshire, Worcestershire and the North Cotswolds.
An unvented cylinder stores hot water under mains pressure and can provide strong hot water performance throughout the property without requiring a traditional cold-water storage tank in the loft.
They are widely used with modern boilers and heat pumps and can be particularly valuable in homes with multiple bathrooms or higher hot water demand.
What Is an Unvented Hot Water Cylinder?
Unlike a traditional vented cylinder supplied from a cold-water tank, an unvented cylinder receives water directly from the mains.
When the incoming water pressure and flow are suitable, this can provide powerful hot water to showers, baths and taps around the property.
The cylinder is insulated to retain heat and incorporates a range of controls and safety devices.
Benefits of an Unvented Cylinder
Depending on the property and water supply, benefits can include:
- Mains-pressure hot water
- Strong shower performance
- No requirement for a traditional loft cold-water tank
- Excellent hot water storage capacity
- Compatibility with modern boilers
- Compatibility with appropriately designed heat pump systems
- Different cylinder sizes to suit different household requirements
The correct cylinder size is important and should reflect the number of occupants, bathrooms and expected hot water usage.
Unvented Cylinder Installation
Ambient Heat can install an unvented cylinder as part of a new heating or hot water system or replace an existing cylinder.
Before recommending a system, we can consider:
- Property size
- Number of bathrooms
- Number of occupants
- Hot water usage
- Incoming mains water pressure and flow
- Boiler or heat pump requirements
- vailable installation space
Heat Pump Hot Water Cylinders
Heat pumps require careful consideration when choosing a hot water cylinder.
A cylinder intended for a heat pump needs to be correctly specified so that heat can be transferred efficiently from the heat pump to the stored water.
Ambient Heat can design the hot water system as part of a complete air source or ground source heat pump installation.
Unvented Cylinder Replacement
If your existing cylinder is leaking, damaged, undersized or no longer meeting your hot water requirements, Ambient Heat can assess the system and advise on replacement.
A new cylinder can also form part of a larger heating upgrade or renovation project.
Unvented Cylinder Servicing & Repairs
Unvented hot water systems contain important valves, controls and safety devices.
Regular inspection and maintenance help ensure these components continue to operate correctly.
If you are experiencing problems with hot water pressure, temperature, discharge or another part of the system, contact Ambient Heat for advice.
