Unvented Hot Water Cylinder Installation in Romiley, Stockport

Most of us grew up with a cold water storage tank sitting in the loft, gathering dust and taking up space. These traditional 'vented' systems rely on gravity to push water down to your taps, which is why the pressure is often so disappointing. By switching to an unvented system, often referred to as a Megaflo, you can remove those bulky tanks entirely. This not only frees up valuable room for a potential loft conversion but also removes the risk of tanks freezing or leaking during a harsh Stockport winter. Imagine having a hot water system that works at the same pressure as your cold mains—it makes a world of difference to your morning routine.

Why settle for a noisy electric pump when you can have a naturally powerful shower? One of the biggest perks our customers in Romiley notice after an unvented cylinder installation is 'balanced pressure'. This means your hot and cold water arrive at the tap with the same force, making it much easier to mix the perfect temperature. It is the ideal solution for larger homes with multiple bathrooms. You can finally have two people showering at once without one of them shouting because the water has gone cold. Plus, because these cylinders are wrapped in high-grade insulation, they keep your water hot for much longer, which is a nice little win for your energy bills.

Installing an unvented hot water cylinder isn't a DIY job, nor is it something for an unqualified plumber. Because these systems store water under significant pressure, they must be installed with specific safety features like expansion vessels and a tundish—that little plastic funnel that lets you see if the system is discharging water safely. Legally, these must be fitted by a professional with a G3 Building Regulations qualification. At Redorr Heating & Cooling Services Ltd, our team is fully certified and Gas Safe registered (967977). We take Part G of the building regs seriously, ensuring your home stays safe and your manufacturer’s warranty remains valid.
