Unvented Hot Water Cylinder Installation in Sandbach, Cheshire East

Traditional heating systems usually rely on a big, dusty plastic tank in the loft to create 'gravity-fed' pressure. It is an old-fashioned way of doing things that often leaves you with poor flow upstairs. By switching to an unvented cylinder—often called a 'Megaflo' system—you can get rid of those tanks entirely. Because these cylinders connect directly to your cold water mains, the hot water comes out at the same high pressure as your cold tap. This not only means you get a 'power shower' experience without needing a noisy electric pump, but it also frees up valuable space in your attic. If you have been dreaming of a loft conversion in your Sandbach home, removing those bulky tanks is often the first step to making it happen.

Installing an unvented hot water cylinder isn't a job for a general handyman. Because these systems deal with high pressure and high temperatures, they fall under strict legal requirements known as G3 Building Regulations. At Redorr Heating & Cooling Services, our engineers are fully G3 qualified and Gas Safe registered (967977). This means we are legally certified to install, commission, and service these systems safely. We handle all the technical bits, from installing the expansion vessel and the pressure relief valves to fitting the tundish (the little visible drain that ensures everything is venting correctly). When we finish a job in Sandbach, we provide you with the necessary paperwork to prove the installation meets all Part G regulations, giving you total peace of mind.

Most homeowners we speak to in Cheshire East are looking for one thing: consistency. If you have added an ensuite or a second bathroom, a traditional cylinder often struggles to cope. An unvented system provides 'balanced' pressure, meaning you can run two showers at once without the temperature fluctuating wildly. These cylinders are also incredibly well-insulated. Think of them like a giant thermos flask; they keep your water hot for hours, which is far more energy-efficient than older models. Whether we are installing a new system or providing your annual unvented cylinder service to keep your warranty valid, we focus on making sure your home stays warm and your water stays hot, exactly when you need it.
