G3 Unvented Cylinder Installation in Midsomer Norton , Bath and North East Somerset

Every home has unique plumbing needs, which is why we take a careful, step-by-step approach to installing your new hot water system. First, we visit your property to measure your incoming mains water pressure and flow rate. This is a crucial step, as an unvented system relies on strong mains pressure to function properly. If your pressure is sufficient, we will help you select the correctly sized cylinder based on your household's daily hot water demand.During the installation, our experienced team safely removes your old system, including the redundant header tanks in your loft. We then carefully install the new pressurised cylinder, paying close attention to vital safety components like the expansion vessel, temperature relief valves, and the discharge pipework. Once fitted, we fully test and commission the system, ensuring balanced hot water pressure across all your bathroom plumbing fixtures.

Making the switch to an unvented hot water cylinder transforms how you use water in your home. The most noticeable benefit is the dramatic improvement in flow rates. You will experience brilliant hot water pressure for your showers and baths without needing a noisy secondary pump. You also gain valuable space in your property. Because unvented systems do not require cold water storage tanks in the loft, you can reclaim your attic for storage or a future conversion.Modern unvented cylinders are also incredibly well-insulated, making them highly energy-efficient. They heat water quickly and retain that heat for longer, which can help lower your energy bills over time. Pair your new system with our radiator installation and repair services to keep your entire home warm and efficient throughout the winter months.

When dealing with pressurised hot water, safety is the absolute priority. By law, unvented cylinders must only be installed, serviced, or repaired by a plumber holding a valid G3 certification.
