Unvented Hot Water Cylinder Installation in Hyde, Tameside

Most homeowners we speak to in Tameside are tired of the old way of doing things. The traditional 'vented' system relies on a cold water tank in the loft and gravity to push water down to your taps. An unvented system—often referred to by the popular brand name Megaflo—connects directly to your mains water supply. This means the hot water is delivered at the same high pressure as your cold water. It’s a total game-changer, especially if you’re planning a loft conversion and want to get rid of those bulky, dusty tanks hidden in the roof space.

Imagine someone starting the washing machine or flushing a toilet while you’re in the shower, and you don’t even notice a change in flow. That's the beauty of a balanced pressure system. Because these cylinders are mains-fed, they can supply multiple bathrooms simultaneously. Whether you've got a busy family home in Gee Cross or a modernised terrace in the heart of Hyde, an unvented cylinder provides 'power shower' performance without the need for those noisy, expensive-to-run electric pumps.

Installing an unvented hot water cylinder isn't a job for a general handyman. Because these systems operate under high pressure, the law requires them to be installed and commissioned by a G3 qualified engineer. This isn't just a recommendation—it's a legal safety requirement under Part G of the Building Regulations. Our team at Redorr Heating & Cooling Services Ltd is fully certified and experienced in these installations. We handle every safety component, from the expansion vessel to the tundish, ensuring your system is efficient, legal, and, most importantly, safe for your family.

Are you looking to modernise your home's efficiency? Modern unvented cylinders are incredibly well-insulated, meaning they lose very little heat over time compared to older copper tanks. This keeps your water hotter for longer and can help trim down those energy bills. Plus, by removing the header tanks from your loft, you're not just gaining storage space; you're also removing the risk of tanks freezing or leaking in the winter. We've helped many neighbours across Hyde replace their ageing systems with these sleek, high-performance cylinders.
