Unvented Hot Water Cylinder Installation in Alsager, Cheshire East

Why settle for a "power shower" with a noisy, vibrating pump when you can have natural mains pressure? An unvented cylinder, like the popular Megaflo models we often install, does not need a cold water tank in the roof. Instead, it is a sealed system that handles the pressure itself. This is a game-changer for larger homes in Alsager with multiple bathrooms. Imagine being able to run two showers and a bath simultaneously without anyone shouting about the water going cold. Plus, because these cylinders are wrapped in thick, modern insulation, they keep your water hot for much longer than a traditional copper tank with a flimsy jacket.

Have you ever looked at that giant plastic water tank in your loft and thought about what else you could do with the space? One of the best "hidden" perks of an unvented system is that those header tanks become obsolete. If you are planning a loft conversion or just want more storage, we can remove the old tanks entirely. Beyond the space, you will notice your energy bills might take a dip too. Modern cylinders are incredibly efficient at retaining heat. Whether your water is heated by your boiler (indirect) or an immersion heater (direct), you are not losing nearly as much energy as you would with a 30-year-old setup.

Safety is not something to take lightly when it comes to high-pressure hot water. Because these systems are sealed, they require specialist components like expansion vessels and a "tundish"—that little plastic window that shows if a safety valve is leaking. It is actually a legal requirement under G3 Building Regulations that only qualified engineers install and service them. Our team at Redorr Heating & Cooling Services is fully G3 certified and Gas Safe registered (967977). We do not just "fit and forget"—we commission the system properly, ensure the "Part G" paperwork is sorted, and make sure your home stays safe and compliant.

Just like your car or your boiler, an unvented cylinder needs a bit of love once a year to keep it running smoothly. During an annual service, we check the internal pressure, test the safety valves, and make sure the expansion vessel is charged correctly. If you have noticed your hot water is not as hot as it used to be, or if you see water dripping from the discharge pipe outside, give us a shout. We are based right here near Alsager, so we can usually get out to you quickly to diagnose the issue. Whether it is a minor repair or a full system upgrade, we provide honest advice and clear pricing with no hidden surprises.
