What Is An Unvented Hot Water Cylinder?
An unvented hot water cylinder has no cold-water tank, instead, it connects to the mains cold water feed. The incoming water keeps the system under pressure and is heated via an immersion heater for direct models, or via a boiler system as well as solar-powered options for indirect models. This hot water is then distributed throughout your home to taps, showers and other outlets.
Benefits Of Unvented Water Cylinders
The benefits of unvented hot water cylinders include:
- Space-saving, due to having no cold-water tank
- Often offering improved water pressure over vented systems
- Can be placed almost anywhere as it is not gravity fed
- Safer, as the unit is sealed and protected from contamination
- Improved winter performance, with no risk of it freezing
- Longevity, with some cylinders lasting over 30 years
- Less noise, caused by the cistern filling in a vented system

Do I Need A New Hot Water Cylinder?
Often lasting decades, cylinders are hard wearing and reliable. However, if your existing system is starting to leak then a replacement may be due. Leaking systems, if left, can lead to damp and structural damage as well as reduced pressure and performance. So, do not delay, give me a call and I can assess your system and make expert recommendations regarding affordable repairs or replacement accordingly.
