Unvented Hot Water Cylinder Installation in Crewe, Cheshire East

Most homeowners we speak to in Cheshire East are fed up with the limitations of their old copper cylinders and the header tanks gathering dust in the loft. If you are planning a bathroom installation or a wet room, a standard vented system usually just cannot keep up. Imagine trying to enjoy a luxury rainfall shower when the water is only trickling out because it relies on gravity. By installing an unvented cylinder—often referred to by the popular brand name Megaflo—you are effectively supercharging your plumbing. You will get 'balanced pressure' throughout the home, so the person washing the dishes in the kitchen won't get shouted at by someone in the shower upstairs.

So, what makes these cylinders so much better than the old-fashioned ones? Firstly, they do not need a cold water storage tank in the loft. This is a massive win if you are thinking about a loft conversion or just want to get rid of that potential source of leaks and Legionella. Secondly, because the water is coming straight from the mains, the flow rate is significantly higher.

Our unvented systems offer several key benefits:

• Mains Pressure Performance: Enjoy powerful showers without needing noisy, expensive electric pumps.
• Energy Efficiency: Modern cylinders are wrapped in high-grade insulation, keeping your water hot for much longer and helping to lower those monthly energy bills.
• Reliability: With fewer moving parts and no tanks to overflow, there is much less to go wrong.
• Versatile Placement: Since they do not rely on gravity, we can install these cylinders almost anywhere in your home, from the utility room to the garage.

Installing an unvented hot water cylinder is not a job for a DIY enthusiast or a general handyman. Because these systems are pressurised, they must be installed by a professional with a specific G3 Building Regulations qualification. At Redorr Heating & Cooling Services Ltd, our engineers are fully G3 certified and Gas Safe registered (967977). We handle the entire process, including the installation of vital safety components like the expansion vessel and the tundish (the visible safety drain). We take safety seriously, which is why we also carry £10 million in public liability insurance. When we finish a job, we ensure everything is commissioned correctly and registered with the local authorities, giving you total peace of mind and keeping your home insurance valid.

If you are looking to modernise your property, an unvented cylinder is often the missing piece of the puzzle. Removing those heavy, bulky tanks from your attic not only clears out space but also removes the risk of a tank freezing and bursting during a harsh Cheshire winter. If you are also considering an air source heat pump or a boiler replacement, we can help you choose a cylinder that is compatible with renewable energy or high-efficiency gas boilers. We also recommend a radiator powerflush when upgrading your system to ensure your new cylinder isn't trying to heat up old, sludgy water.
