Hot Water Cylinder Installations

There are two main types of hot water cylinder: Vented and Unvented. Here are some details about these two types of cylinder.

• Vented Cylinder
  This is the most common type of hot water system you will find in the UK. They are copper tanks supplied with cold water from an overhead tank located in the loft and use gravity to move the hot water around your home.

  There's a vent pipe that links the vented hot water cylinder and the heater cold water tank's.

  Vented hot water cylinders are easier to install and maintain because they are less complicated. This is one of their benefits! Again, the use of indirect heating makes it a more economical option for people with a tight budget.

  Do you need this system? We can have them installed for you at a good price. Repairs and maintenance of this cylinder are part of our services too. Feel free to contact us at Ai Emergency Plumber London.
   

• Unvented Cylinder
  This is a brand of hot water cylinder that has gained popularity. An unvented water system does not use a cold water tank. Rather, the cylinder is supplied directly by the cold water mains. They operate at mains pressure!

  The benefits of using this system include:
   

  • A better shower and bath flow due to increased pressure
  • There is no need for a cold water tank
  • It uses less space and eliminates potential freezing issue during the cold months
  • You don't need to rely on gravity to supply the hot water around your home. Thus, you can place this cylinder anywhere in your home
  • Noise reduction is guaranteed since there's no cold water filling the storage vessel
  • There is no risk of cold water contamination

Unvented cylinders are more expensive than vented cylinders, but the greater water pressure they provide is a reason to go for it. Would you like to go for it?
