What Is An Unvented Cylinder?
An unvented cylinder is a hot water storage system that connects directly to the mains water supply, eliminating the need for a cold water tank. This design provides consistent high water pressure throughout the home and is more space-efficient than vented systems.
These cylinders are faster and potentially more energy-efficient in heating water. However, due to their pressurised nature and adherence to safety and building regulations, they require careful installation by our professionals at D&D NRG Plumbing & Heating.
Why Choose Unvented Cylinders?
Unvented cylinders come with safety features like pressure relief valves to prevent excess pressure or overheating risks. Regular maintenance and annual servicing are essential for ensuring safety and optimal performance.
These systems can work with various energy sources, including electricity, gas, or solar energy, offering flexibility and potential cost savings. Choosing the right size is critical to efficiently meet the household’s water demand.
Although initially more expensive to install than vented systems, the long-term benefits often justify the cost.
