Need Unvented Cylinders Recharging Expansion Vessels In Duns?
Is Your Unvented Cylinder's Expansion Vessel Letting You Down in Duns?
An unvented hot water cylinder provides mains pressure hot water for a more invigorating shower and faster filling of baths. But a key component to its safe and efficient operation is the expansion vessel. Over time, this vessel can lose pressure, impacting your hot water system's performance. At Preferred Gas, we specialise in recharging expansion vessels for unvented cylinders in Duns and the surrounding areas (NE, SR, DH, TS, DL postcodes), ensuring your system operates as it should. We are Gas Safe registered and ISO certified company.
Understanding Your Unvented Cylinder Expansion Vessel
Your expansion vessel is typically a small tank attached near your unvented cylinder. It's designed to absorb the expansion of water as it heats, preventing pressure build-up within the system. Think of it as a safety valve that protects your cylinder and pipework. Without a properly functioning expansion vessel, your system could experience pressure fluctuations, leading to potential leaks or even more serious issues.

Why Expansion Vessel Recharging is Essential
The expansion vessel contains a pre-charged air pocket (or sometimes nitrogen). Over time, this charge can diminish, leading to reduced performance. You might notice symptoms such as:
- Water dripping from the pressure relief valve
- Noisy operation of the cylinder
- Fluctuating hot water temperature
- Reduced hot water pressure
Recharging the expansion vessel restores the correct pressure, addressing these issues and preventing further damage. Our fully insured and Safe Contractor approved engineers can check your vessel and recommend the suitable action.

The Expansion Vessel Recharging Process: What to Expect
Our engineer will first isolate the water supply to the cylinder and safely release any pressure. They will then check the current pressure in the expansion vessel using a pressure gauge. If the pressure is low, they will recharge it using a pump to the recommended level specified by the cylinder manufacturer. A thorough check of the entire system follows, including pressure relief valves, to guarantee correct operation.
