Why Scottish Borders Homeowners Choose Us

Why Choose an Unvented Cylinder for Your Duns Home?

Unlike traditional vented cylinders, unvented cylinders are connected directly to the mains water supply. This eliminates the need for a cold water storage tank in the loft, freeing up valuable space and reducing the risk of frozen pipes in winter. Because they operate at mains pressure, you'll enjoy significantly improved hot water flow rates, making showers more invigorating and filling baths much faster. They're also a safer option because they are sealed and prevent the risk of contamination from loft debris.

Unvented Hot Water Cylinders: Direct vs. Indirect - What's Right for You?

When considering an unvented cylinder, you'll encounter the terms "direct" and "indirect." A direct unvented cylinder heats water using an internal immersion heater, making it ideal for properties without a central heating system. An indirect unvented cylinder, on the other hand, is heated by a boiler, utilising the central heating system to provide hot water efficiently. Our experts at Preferred Gas can assess your current setup and hot water demands to advise you on the most suitable type of unvented cylinder for your needs.

Calculating the Ideal Unvented Cylinder Size for Your Household

Choosing the correct size of unvented cylinder is crucial for ensuring you have enough hot water to meet your family's needs without wasting energy. Factors such as the number of bathrooms, the number of occupants, and your hot water usage habits all play a role in determining the appropriate cylinder capacity. We can help you calculate your hot water demand and recommend the ideal cylinder size to provide ample hot water while maximising energy efficiency.

Beyond Installation: Unvented Cylinder Servicing and Maintenance in Duns

To maintain the safety and efficiency of your unvented cylinder, regular servicing is essential. Manufacturers typically recommend annual servicing, and it's a requirement under G3 building regulations. Our comprehensive servicing includes checks of the safety devices, pressure relief valves, expansion vessel, and overall system performance. Regular maintenance helps prevent potential problems, prolongs the life of your cylinder, and ensures it continues to operate safely and efficiently.
