How It Works
Vented Hot Water Systems
Traditional systems with a cold water storage tank in the loft, ideal for older properties with low mains pressure. Perfect for many period homes in Henley's conservation areas.
Unvented Hot Water Systems
Pressurised systems connected directly to the mains supply, providing excellent flow rates and pressure. Ideal for modern homes and renovations where space is premium.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hot Water Systems
Expert answers to common questions about vented and unvented hot water systems in Henley-on-Thames
The choice between vented and unvented systems depends on your property's water pressure, space availability, and usage requirements. Victorian and older properties in Henley's conservation areas often suit vented systems, while modern homes benefit from unvented systems. Our engineers provide free assessments to recommend the optimal solution for your specific property.
Most hot water cylinder installations take 1-2 days depending on the system complexity and any additional pipework required. We work efficiently to minimise disruption, and you'll have hot water restored as quickly as possible. Complex installations in listed buildings may take longer due to additional compliance requirements.
Standard hot water cylinder replacements typically don't require planning permission. However, properties in Henley's conservation areas or listed buildings may have additional requirements. We handle all building regulations notifications and can advise on any planning considerations specific to your property.
Unvented systems are generally more energy-efficient due to better insulation and reduced heat loss, but vented systems can be more economical to install. Running costs depend on your usage patterns, insulation quality, and heating source. We provide detailed cost comparisons during our assessment.
Unvented hot water systems require annual servicing by qualified engineers to maintain safety and efficiency. Vented systems need less frequent professional maintenance but benefit from annual checks. We offer maintenance contracts for Thames Valley customers to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Yes, we regularly upgrade both vented and unvented systems throughout the Thames Valley. This might involve replacing an old cylinder with a modern efficient unit, upgrading controls, or converting between system types. We assess your existing installation and recommend the most cost-effective upgrade path.
We provide comprehensive warranties covering both our installation work and the equipment supplied. Cylinder warranties typically range from 5-25 years depending on the manufacturer and model chosen. All our installation work is guaranteed, giving you complete peace of mind.
