Whilst unvented hot water cylinders are not exactly commonplace in the UK, they’re undoubtedly soaring in popularity nationwide.
This has much to do with the nature of this heating system, as they negate the need for a cold water tank and instead feature a hot water cylinder that’s fed directly by the mains. The cylinder is then kept under pressure from the incoming water supply, before being heated by either immersion heaters or a traditional boiler unit.
There are other advantages offered by unvented hot water cylinders, however, including the following examples:
Unvented Hot Water Cylinders Free Up Space in Your Home
On a fundamental level, there’s no doubt that unvented hot water cylinders are ideal space-saving options in the modern home.
They can certainly free up much needed space in your property, as they negate the need for an additional cold water tank and provide a viable alternative to conventional heating systems.
So, if you’re planning to develop or extend your property in the future, the installation of a hot water cylinder represents an excellent move.
Achieve Stronger Water Pressure
In some instances, it’s also fair to surmise that unvented hot water cylinders can deliver stronger and more consistent water pressure to your appliances.
The reason for this is simple; as unvented cylinders are directly supplied by the mains and therefore less likely to lose pressure between the source and the final application.
Of course, this depends in part on the strength of the mains in the first place, so you may want to check this before making an informed decision.
Reduce the Noise in Your Heating System
On a final note, it has also been proven that the installation of an unvented hot water cylinder will reduce noise levels in your heating system.
This is due to the fact that there is no cold water filling up the water storage system, and this can make a significant difference to the overall noise levels in your home on a daily basis.
Unvented cylinders are also completely sealed, which means that the water is not at risk of contamination or freezing during the winter months.
