Unvented Hot Water Cylinder Installation in Lymm, Warrington

Most homeowners we speak to in the North West are tired of the 'one tap at a time' rule. It's a common frustration in larger homes where someone running a bath downstairs ruins the shower pressure upstairs. By installing a cylinder like a Megaflo, we provide balanced pressure to every outlet in the house. This makes it the perfect solution for families with multiple bathrooms or those planning an ensuite installation.The benefits of switching to an unvented hot water cylinder include:Incredible Water Pressure: Enjoy high-pressure hot water at every tap and shower without needing noisy, unreliable electric pumps.Reliability: These systems are built to last and provide a significant volume of hot water on demand.Energy Efficiency: Modern cylinders are incredibly well-insulated, meaning your water stays hot for much longer, which is a big win for your energy bills.No More Loft Tanks: You can finally get rid of that old plastic or galvanised tank in the roof, reducing the risk of pipes freezing or leaks occurring in the loft.

You might have heard the term 'G3' mentioned when looking into unvented cylinders. It isn't just industry jargon; it's actually a legal requirement. Because these cylinders store water under high pressure, they have several safety features like expansion vessels and a tundish (the visible part of the discharge pipe) to prevent the system from over-pressurising. Only a G3 qualified engineer is legally allowed to install or service these systems.As a Gas Safe registered company (967977) with full G3 certification, we don't just 'fit and forget'. We ensure every installation complies with Part G of the Building Regulations, providing you with all the necessary paperwork and peace of mind. We take safety incredibly seriously, which is why we also carry £10 million in public liability insurance. It's about doing the job properly, ensuring your home stays safe and your warranty remains valid.

Are you thinking about a loft conversion or just desperate for more storage? One of the best 'hidden' perks of an unvented system is that it completely removes the need for a header tank in the attic. Imagine clearing out that space and not having to worry about a ball-cock failing and flooding your ceiling. Many of our customers in Lymm choose this upgrade specifically because it simplifies their plumbing layout and frees up room for a new bedroom or a more spacious bathroom refurbishment.Whether you need a 'direct' cylinder that uses an internal immersion heater or an 'indirect' version that works alongside your boiler, we can advise on the best fit for your property's footprint and your family's hot water needs.

Just like your boiler, an unvented hot water cylinder needs a little bit of TLC to stay in top condition. We recommend an annual safety check to test the pressure relief valves and ensure the expansion vessel is charged correctly. If you've noticed your water isn't as hot as it used to be, or if you can see water dripping from the discharge pipe, give us a shout.
