G3 Unvented Cylinder Installation in Frome , Somerset

Every property is unique, which is why we start every project with a thorough technical site survey. Upgrading to an unvented hot water system requires a careful assessment of your existing plumbing framework to ensure it can safely handle increased pressures.First, we test your incoming mains water supply pressure and flow rate to confirm it meets the requirements. Next, we safely decommission and remove your old vented system, which often involves draining and extracting the bulky cold water tank from your loft. Once the space is clear, we carefully install your new unvented hot water cylinder, ensuring all pipework is securely fitted and WRAS approved.Because hard water scaling is a common challenge for homeowners in the Somerset and Wiltshire regions, we also assess whether your new installation requires additional scale protection. This preventative step helps maintain the efficiency of your heating elements and extends the lifespan of your system.

Switching to an unvented system completely changes how you experience water in your home. The most noticeable benefit is the dramatic improvement in water pressure. Because the system is fed directly from the mains, you will enjoy powerful, consistent hot water across multiple bathrooms simultaneously, without the noisy addition of a shower pump.Space-saving design: By removing the need for a cold water storage tank in the loft, you instantly reclaim valuable space in your property.Energy efficiency: Modern unvented cylinders are heavily insulated, keeping your water hotter for longer and helping to reduce your energy bills.Flexibility: Unvented units can be installed almost anywhere in your home, from an airing cupboard to a garage, making them highly versatile for renovations.Compatibility: They work seamlessly with modern fixtures, including high-end thermostatic mixer showers and multi-jet systems.If you are tired of poor water pressure, speak to our Frome plumbing services team on 01373 482587 to discuss an upgrade.

When it comes to unvented hot water cylinders, safety and legal compliance are absolutely non-negotiable. Because these systems store water at high pressures and temperatures, they must be installed, serviced, and repaired by a competent person holding a valid G3 Certification.

During every installation, we meticulously fit and test all mandatory safety components, including the expansion vessel, temperature relief valves, and pressure reducing valves. We also ensure that all corresponding pipework and isolation valves are fully WRAS compliant. We take our responsibility seriously, so you can enjoy your new hot water cylinder with complete peace of mind, knowing it is safe, legal, and covered by our comprehensive Public Liability Insurance.
