Unvented Hot Water Systems Explained

If you're upgrading your heating system or building a new home, you might have heard about unvented hot water systems. But what exactly are they, and what benefits do they offer?

Mains Pressure Hot Water

Unlike traditional vented systems that rely on gravity (and a cold water tank in the loft), unvented cylinders are connected directly to the mains water supply. This means you get hot water delivered at mains pressure to all your taps and showers.

Space Saving

Because they don't require a cold water storage tank in the loft, unvented systems save valuable space in your home. This makes them ideal for loft conversions or homes where space is at a premium.

Faster Reheat Times

Unvented cylinders typically reheat much faster than traditional systems, ensuring you always have a plentiful supply of hot water.

It's important to note that unvented systems must be installed by a qualified G3 certified engineer. Kingston Gas Services holds the necessary qualifications to safely install and maintain unvented hot water cylinders.
