FAQs
Hot water & unvented cylinders: your questions answered
What's the difference between vented and unvented cylinders?
A vented cylinder is fed by a cold water tank in the loft and gives gravity pressure. An unvented cylinder is fed straight from the mains, giving stronger pressure without a loft tank.
Does an unvented cylinder need a qualified installer?
Yes. Under Building Regulations, unvented hot water systems must be installed by someone qualified for unvented work, and they should be serviced regularly to keep the safety devices working.
Why is water dripping from a pipe outside?
On an unvented system, a drip from the discharge pipe can mean a safety valve is letting by or the expansion vessel needs attention. It's a warning sign worth getting checked soon.
