An unvented hot water cylinder is a water vessel that holds heated water under pressure, releasing it when a hot water tap is opened and providing instant hot water. The name comes from the fact that the system is pressurised and so doesn’t need to vent steam or water.
Unvented systems have been fitted in homes since 1986 and are more popular than vented cylinders. The high pressure available from an unvented system means large quantities of hot water can be pumped around the system at a steady, regulated flow. Ideal for homes with multiple showers.
They tend to be more expensive to install than traditional vented systems because of the extreme pressure they operate under. Additional safety features, like relief pipework, need to be installed, they need to be fitted and maintained by specially qualified technicians with G3 qualifications.
Popular in older homes, vented hot water systems require a cold water tank which is usually located in a loft or attic. This tank feeds cold water to a hot water cylinder. The cylinder is typically situated in an airing cupboard, with the cold water feed at the bottom of the tank. Heated water rises to the top of the reservoir where it is drawn off for feeding the heating system.
There are two methods of heating water with vented hot water systems:
We supply and install unvented and vented hot water cylinders and tanks from Worcester Bosch, Baxi, Ideal, and other major brands.
