MI Heating & Plumbing can help with Hot water cylinders.
We are certified to fit hot water cylinders and we are here to provide you the information you need and if this is the solution for you.
Unvented hot water systems
- No cold water tank
- Much better flow rates, meaning your shower and bath performance should be higher
- Don’t need to maintain a cold water tank in the loft (which vented systems require).
- free up space
- Removes the potential freezing issue during winter periods.
- reduced noise in the system
- Cold water is not at risk from contamination.
The major issue with unvented hot water cylinders is that since hot water flow depends on the cold water main pressure, if for any reason the mains water is turned off, your home will be without access to any hot water.
Vented hot water systems
- Vented hot water systems are the most common type of hot water system
- copper tanks are fed by cold water from a header tank (normally located in the loft)
- A vent pipe links the vented hot water cylinder and the cold water in the header tank.
- hot water pressure governed by the height of the water tank above the tap or shower feed.
- Vented hot water cylinders are far less complicated
- Much simpler to maintain and install
