Unvented Hot Water Cylinder Installation in Bury, Bury

Most older properties in Bury rely on a 'vented' system, which uses a large, heavy cold water tank tucked away in the loft to create pressure via gravity. The higher the tank, the better the pressure, but it is rarely enough for a truly great shower. An unvented cylinder, like the popular Megaflo models, changes the game entirely. It connects directly to your cold water mains, meaning your hot water is delivered at the same high pressure as your cold water. Not only does this give you 'power shower' performance without the need for noisy electric pumps, but it also provides a 'balanced pressure' throughout the home. This makes it far easier to mix the perfect temperature and ensures that multiple bathrooms can be used at the same time without any sudden drops in flow.

Installing an unvented hot water cylinder is not a job for just any handyman. Because these systems hold water under high pressure and heat it to high temperatures, they must be installed by someone with a specific legal certification known as G3. At Redorr Heating & Cooling Services Ltd, our team is fully G3 qualified and Gas Safe registered (967977). This means we are experts in the strict safety requirements set out in Part G of the Building Regulations. When we install your system, we ensure vital components like the expansion vessel and the tundish are fitted perfectly. The tundish is a small but essential safety device that provides a visible signal if the pressure relief valve is ever activated. We take the time to do things properly, giving you total peace of mind that your system is both high-performing and safe.

Are you planning a loft conversion in Bury? One of the biggest advantages of an unvented system is that it allows you to get rid of those bulky, often grimy, cold water tanks in your roof space. Removing these header tanks can free up significant room for a new bedroom or office. Beyond the space-saving perks, modern unvented cylinders are incredibly well-insulated. They act like a massive thermos flask, keeping your water hot for significantly longer than old-fashioned copper cylinders. This makes your home more energy-efficient and helps keep those monthly bills in check. Whether you need an 'indirect' cylinder that works with your boiler or a 'direct' model that uses immersion heaters, we can help you choose the size and type that fits your family's daily needs.

Just like your car or your boiler, an unvented hot water cylinder needs a little bit of professional attention every now and then. To keep your manufacturer's warranty valid and ensure the safety valves are working exactly as they should, we recommend an annual service. We provide thorough checks for homeowners and landlords across the Bury area, testing the pressure relief valves and checking the internal expansion bubble or external expansion vessel. If you have noticed your water isn't as hot as it used to be, or if you've spotted water dripping from the discharge pipe outside, give us a call at 01925 597837. It is usually a simple fix, and we carry many common parts to get your hot water back to its best on the very first visit.
