Unvented Hot Water Cylinder Installation in Farnworth, Bolton

Most homeowners we speak to in Bolton are surprised by how much space they can reclaim by modernising their hot water setup. A traditional 'vented' system requires a large cold water storage tank in the attic, which can be a nightmare if you are planning a loft conversion or just want more storage. By switching to an unvented cylinder, like the popular Megaflo models, your hot water is fed directly from the mains. This means you get a powerful 'power shower' experience without needing to install noisy, expensive electric pumps. Plus, because these cylinders are wrapped in high-grade insulation, they keep your water hot for much longer, which is a big win for your energy bills.

Installing an unvented hot water cylinder is not a job for a DIY enthusiast or a general handyman. Because these systems operate under high pressure, they must be installed by someone with a specific G3 building regulations qualification. It is actually a legal requirement. Our team at Redorr Heating & Cooling Services is fully G3 certified and Gas Safe registered (967977), meaning we have the specialist tools and knowledge to install your system safely. We handle everything from the initial pipework alterations to installing the vital safety components like the expansion vessel and the tundish, giving you total peace of mind that your home is in expert hands.

If you have a growing family or multiple bathrooms, you know the struggle of trying to get everyone ready in the morning. A standard boiler and tank setup often struggles to keep up, but an unvented cylinder provides 'balanced pressure'. This means the hot and cold water arrive at your taps at the same force, allowing two people to shower at the same time without the temperature fluctuating wildly. Whether you are also looking at a new bathroom installation or simply want to upgrade your existing central heating, we can tailor a solution that fits your specific needs and budget.

Already have an unvented cylinder that is acting up? Perhaps you have noticed water dripping from a pipe outside or your pressure has suddenly dropped. Don't ignore it. These systems need an annual service to ensure the safety valves are working correctly and the internal air gap or expansion vessel is maintained. We provide prompt repairs and routine maintenance across Farnworth and the wider Bolton area. If your cylinder is nearing the end of its life, we will give you an honest assessment of whether a repair is viable or if it is time for a more efficient replacement.
