Common questions

What is an unvented cylinder?

An unvented cylinder runs at mains pressure, so showers and taps are stronger, and it does not need a cold water tank in the loft.

Do unvented cylinders need servicing?

Yes. Manufacturers recommend an annual check of the safety valves and expansion vessel to keep it safe and keep the warranty valid.

My immersion heater has stopped working. Can you fix it?

Yes. We test the element and thermostat and replace whichever has failed.

Can you replace a cylinder in a flat?

Yes. We replace cylinders in flats and houses and arrange access through landlords and agents if needed.

How long does a cylinder replacement take?

A like-for-like swap is usually done in a day.
