Frequently Asked Questions About Hot Water Systems in Bracknell

Expert answers to common questions about vented and unvented hot water cylinder installation

Vented systems have an open vent pipe and cold water storage tank, typically installed in the loft. They're suitable for properties with low mains pressure. Unvented systems are sealed and connect directly to the mains water supply, providing high-pressure hot water without requiring a cold water tank. They're ideal for properties with good mains pressure and limited loft space.

The best system depends on your property's mains water pressure, available space, existing heating system, and household hot water demands. Our engineers conduct a free assessment to test your water pressure, evaluate your current setup, and recommend the most suitable system for optimal performance and efficiency.

Yes, unvented hot water system installation requires G3 qualification due to the safety considerations with pressurized systems. Our engineers hold current G3 certification and provide all necessary compliance certificates including Building Control notification and manufacturer warranty registration.

Most hot water cylinder installations are completed within one working day. Unvented systems may require additional time for safety device installation and commissioning. We'll provide a clear timeline during your quote and coordinate installation to minimize disruption to your routine.

Cylinder size depends on your household size, number of bathrooms, and hot water usage patterns. As a guide: 150L for 1-2 people, 210L for 3-4 people, and 300L+ for larger families. Our assessment considers your specific requirements to recommend the optimal size for consistent hot water supply.

Yes, upgrading from vented to unvented is often possible and beneficial, providing better pressure and removing the need for loft tanks.
