Choosing the Right Hot Water Cylinder
The right hot water cylinder depends on your existing heating system, water supply, available space and household demand. ThermoLoco can assess these factors and recommend a correctly sized solution for your home.
Vented Hot Water Cylinders
A vented cylinder is supplied from a cold-water storage tank, usually located in the loft. These systems are commonly found in older properties and can be suitable where the incoming mains water pressure or flow rate is limited.
ThermoLoco can replace an existing vented cylinder or advise whether converting to an unvented system would provide a worthwhile improvement.
Unvented Hot Water Cylinders
An unvented cylinder is connected directly to the incoming mains water supply, removing the need for a cold-water storage tank. With adequate mains pressure and flow, it can provide strong hot water performance at showers and taps throughout the property.
Before recommending an unvented cylinder, we assess the incoming water supply, available discharge route and the demands of the household to ensure the system is suitable and properly designed.
Heat-Pump Hot Water Cylinders
Heat-pump cylinders are specifically designed to work efficiently with the lower flow temperatures produced by an air source heat pump. They normally incorporate a larger heat-exchanger coil to transfer energy effectively and achieve an appropriate reheat time.
Correct cylinder selection is particularly important with a heat pump. ThermoLoco considers the heat-pump output, coil specification, stored-water volume and expected household usage when designing the system.
Cylinder Sizing and Water Pressure
A cylinder should be sized according to the number of occupants, bathrooms, showers and baths, as well as typical patterns of hot water use. Installing an undersized cylinder can result in insufficient hot water, while unnecessary oversizing may increase heat loss and take up valuable space.
For unvented systems, both static pressure and flow rate need to be considered. ThermoLoco assesses your property and water supply before recommending the most appropriate cylinder type and capacity for reliable, efficient hot water.
