Frequently Asked Questions
A vented hot water system uses a cold water cistern, usually in the loft, to feed a hot water cylinder. It relies on gravity and atmospheric pressure so it is a good choice for larger homes with loft space. An unvented system stores hot water at mains pressure, which gives stronger taps but requires different safety controls and certification.
Yes, vented cylinders sized and installed correctly can supply multiple bathrooms reliably. We carry out a demand assessment during the survey to size the cylinder, check loft space and pipe routing, and recommend the best configuration for consistent hot water in peak periods.
We recommend an annual visual check and a more detailed inspection every 2-3 years depending on water quality and usage. Servicing includes checking the cistern, ball valve, insulation and immersion heater. Regular maintenance helps prevent leaks and keeps the system efficient.
Yes. Replacement is a common job when cylinders corrode, become inefficient or no longer match household demand. We survey the space and pipework, supply a correctly sized insulated cylinder and undertake a compliant replacement with full commissioning and written documentation.
