Vented and unvented cylinders
A vented cylinder is fed by a cold water storage tank, usually in the loft. An unvented, or pressurised, cylinder is fed directly from the mains and has safety controls to manage the higher pressure. Manufacturers generally recommend that unvented cylinders are serviced every year.

Questions about hot water cylinders

Do you replace hot water cylinders?
Yes. We install new hot water cylinders, including replacing old or failing ones. Contact us with details of your current cylinder and we will discuss the options.
How often should an unvented cylinder be serviced?
Manufacturers generally recommend that unvented (pressurised) hot water cylinders are serviced every year, because their safety controls need regular checking. Follow the instructions supplied with your cylinder.
What is the difference between a vented and an unvented cylinder?
A vented cylinder is fed by a cold water storage tank, usually in the loft, and relies on gravity for pressure. An unvented cylinder is fed directly from the mains, which gives higher water pressure, and has safety controls to manage that pressure.
