Serving Ascot's luxury properties with premium hot water solutions. Our experienced engineers help you choose between vented and unvented systems based on your property's requirements.
Vented vs Unvented Hot Water Systems: Which is Right for Your Ascot Home?
Understanding the difference between vented and unvented hot water systems is crucial for making the right choice for your property. Our experts will assess your home's water pressure, space constraints, and hot water demands to recommend the ideal solution.
How It Works
Vented Hot Water Systems
Traditional systems with a header tank in the loft. Perfect for properties with low mains pressure or where multiple hot water outlets are used simultaneously. More affordable installation with reliable performance.
Unvented Hot Water Systems
Modern pressurised systems connected directly to mains water. Excellent for properties with good mains pressure, delivering powerful showers and faster filling times. Space-saving with no loft tank required.
System Assessment
Our engineers evaluate your property's water pressure, space availability, and usage patterns. We consider your home's plumbing layout and future expansion plans to recommend the most suitable system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about vented and unvented hot water systems, installation requirements, and ongoing maintenance.
Vented systems use a header tank in the loft to supply water to the cylinder, operating at low pressure. Unvented systems connect directly to mains water supply, providing high-pressure hot water throughout your home. Unvented systems deliver better shower performance but require good mains pressure and annual servicing.
The best system depends on your mains water pressure, available space, and hot water usage. Properties with good mains pressure (1.5+ bar) benefit from unvented systems with powerful showers. Properties with lower pressure or space constraints may suit vented systems. We assess your specific requirements during our free survey.
Yes, unvented hot water systems require annual servicing by a qualified engineer to check safety controls and maintain warranty coverage. This ensures the expansion vessel, pressure relief valve, and temperature controls function correctly. We provide annual service packages for ongoing peace of mind.
Most installations take 1-2 days depending on system complexity and any modifications required. Unvented systems may take longer due to additional safety controls and commissioning requirements. We provide accurate timescales during quotation and minimise disruption to your household.
We provide a comprehensive 10-year warranty on all installation work, covering parts and labour. Manufacturer warranties apply to cylinders and components. Our Gas Safe and MCS certification ensures professional installation that maintains all warranty coverage.
