Unvented Hot Water Cylinder Installation in Bollington, Cheshire East

Most homeowners we speak to in Bollington are tired of noisy booster pumps that kick in every time they want a wash. Because an unvented cylinder (often known by the popular brand name Megaflo) is mains-fed, it provides what we call 'balanced pressure'. This means your hot and cold water come out at the same force, giving you a 'power shower' experience without the need for expensive, rattling pumps. If you've been dreaming of a rainfall shower head or you're planning a bathroom refurbishment, this is the upgrade that makes those luxury fixtures actually work properly. We've seen it time and again—switching to an unvented system completely changes how people feel about their morning routine.

You might wonder why you need a specialist for this. An unvented cylinder is a sealed system that holds water under significant pressure. Because of this, it is a legal requirement under G3 Building Regulations that only a specifically qualified engineer carries out the installation. At Redorr Heating & Cooling Services, our team is fully G3 certified and Gas Safe registered (967977). We ensure all the vital safety components—like the expansion vessel and the tundish (the little visible discharge point)—are installed perfectly to manage pressure and temperature safely. We don't just fit it and leave; we commission the system properly and provide you with the necessary paperwork to prove your home is compliant and safe.

Is your loft currently home to a dusty, old galvanised or plastic cold water storage tank? One of the biggest 'hidden' benefits of an unvented system is that you can get rid of those tanks entirely. By removing the need for a header tank, you free up valuable square footage in your roof space. This is a game-changer if you're considering a loft conversion or just want more storage room. Plus, modern cylinders are incredibly well-insulated. They act like a giant Thermos flask, keeping your water hot for hours on end, which is far more energy-efficient than the old-school cylinders that lose heat as soon as the boiler clicks off.

Whether you live in a stone cottage near the White Nancy or a larger family home in the heart of Bollington, we tailor our service to your specific needs. If you have multiple bathrooms, an unvented cylinder is almost always the best choice because it can deliver high flow rates to several outlets simultaneously. We can install 'indirect' cylinders that work with your existing boiler, or 'direct' versions that use immersion heaters. Not sure which one you need? We'll chat through your daily routine and your home's layout to figure out the best fit. We also provide annual servicing to check those safety valves and keep your manufacturer warranty valid, ensuring you have peace of mind for years to come.
