What Is an Unvented Hot Water Cylinder?

An unvented cylinder stores hot water at mains pressure — meaning powerful, consistent hot water at every tap and shower in your home, without the need for a cold water tank in the loft.

Traditional hot water cylinders rely on a cold water storage tank in the roof space, which limits water pressure and means that the pressure at a shower on the top floor is often weaker. An unvented cylinder connects directly to the mains, so hot water is delivered at full mains pressure throughout the entire property — consistently strong flow at every outlet, even when multiple taps are running simultaneously.

Because unvented cylinders operate at higher pressure, they require specialist installation by a G3-qualified engineer — a specific qualification that not all plumbers hold. Our team carries the appropriate qualifications and installs these systems across Glasgow City and the wider Central Belt, including East Renfrewshire, Renfrewshire, South Lanarkshire, North Lanarkshire, East Dunbartonshire, West Dunbartonshire, and Inverclyde.

Why Upgrade to an Unvented System?

An unvented cylinder is a worthwhile upgrade for most homes with a system or conventional boiler. Here's what you gain.

Mains-pressure hot water everywhere

No more weak shower pressure. An unvented cylinder delivers strong, consistent hot water at every outlet in the home — upstairs and downstairs — because it's fed directly from the mains rather than a gravity-fed tank.

No cold water tank required

Removing the cold water storage tank from your loft frees up valuable roof space and eliminates the risk of tank-related leaks or contamination. It also removes a potential frost risk in unheated loft spaces.

Ideal for larger homes

For homes with multiple bathrooms or high simultaneous hot water demand, an unvented cylinder is the most effective solution. Multiple showers, multiple people — the pressure stays strong throughout.

Unvented cylinder supply and installation

Supply & Installation

We supply and install the cylinder, along with all associated pipework, pressure relief valves, expansion vessels, and controls — everything required to install an unvented system safely and to building regulations standards.

Commissioning and G3 certification

Commissioning & Certification

Once installed, the system is fully commissioned, tested, and certified by our G3-qualified engineer. We provide all necessary documentation and walk you through the controls before we leave.

G3-Qualified. Properly Done.

Unvented cylinder installation is specialist work that requires a specific legal qualification. Not every plumber or heating engineer holds a G3 certificate — our team does.

G3-Qualified Engineers

Installing an unvented cylinder without a G3 qualification is illegal in the UK — and doing so puts the installation at serious risk of failure. Our engineers hold the required qualifications and carry out every installation fully to standard.

Fully Certified Work

Every unvented cylinder installation we complete is properly certified and documented. This is essential for insurance purposes and for any future property sale. We don't cut corners — the paperwork is part of the job.

Right-Sized for Your Home

Cylinder sizing matters. An undersized system won't meet your demand; an oversized one wastes energy. We assess your home carefully and recommend the right specification — then install it properly.
