Unvented Cylinders
An unvented hot water cylinder is an excellent upgrade for any home that needs a reliable, high-pressure hot water supply without the inconvenience of a separate cold water tank in the loft. Unlike traditional vented systems that rely on gravity and a header tank to feed water through the property, an unvented cylinder connects directly to the mains supply, delivering consistent pressure to every outlet in your home.
McGhie’s Plumbing and Heating supplies and fits unvented cylinders to homeowners looking to improve the performance of their domestic hot water system.
The Advantages of an Unvented Hot Water System
The most immediately noticeable benefit of an unvented cylinder is water pressure. Showers perform better, baths fill faster and hot water reaches multiple outlets simultaneously without any noticeable drop in pressure. Because the system connects directly to the mains, there is no need for a cold water storage tank, which frees up valuable space in your loft or airing cupboard.
Modern unvented cylinders are also very well insulated, meaning the water inside retains its temperature for longer and the system does not need to work as hard to keep your hot water ready to use. For larger households with high hot water demand, the improvement over a vented system can be considerable.
