What Are The Benefits Of An Unvented Cylinder?
An unvented cylinder offers a range of advantages that can greatly improve your heating system. Your home gains a more consistent and superior water pressure, ensuring a powerful and invigorating shower experience every time. Here's why.
Unlike traditional vented cylinders, unvented cylinders are fed directly from the main water supply, meaning water pressure is significantly higher.
Unvented cylinders can be installed almost anywhere in your home or loft, freeing up valuable space. Unlike traditional vented cylinders, they don't require header tanks in your loft, avoiding potential freezing and pipework issues.
Unvented cylinders are well-insulated, which means they keep the water hot for longer periods. They also have pressurised heating systems, which can improve energy efficiency. The result is lower energy consumption and cost savings over time.

UNVENTED CYLINDERS VS. VENTED CYLINDERS AND COMBI BOILERS
JDF Maintenance is the premier choice for unvented cylinder installation services for all homeowners and landlords in Huddersfield and the surrounding areas.
Let's compare the three main options so you easily decide which best suits your home: unvented cylinders, vented cylinders, and combi boilers.
Combi Boilers
Combi boilers are compact units that provide instant hot water and central heating without the need for additional tanks. While they are space-saving, they may struggle to deliver high water pressure simultaneously to multiple outlets. This makes combi boilers better suited to smaller properties.
Its advantages include no requirement for a attic water tank and cylinder through the boiler’s all-in-one heating system. The issues arise when you install a number of radiators in the home. More than 10 or so radiators can be a problem for heating dispersal through your house.
Vented Cylinders
Vented cylinders rely on gravity to provide water pressure. They require a cold water storage tank in the loft and are suitable for older properties with traditional heating systems. This means you won’t gain the best pressure at the taps. And what if you choose to renovate your attic? The vented cylinder requires sacrificing attic space to get installed.
One of its long-term issues is the threat from mould and bacteria due to being exposed to the outside air.
Unvented Cylinders
These systems provide mains pressure hot water directly from the cold mains supply, offering consistent and superior water pressure. They don't require a cold water storage tank, saving valuable space. Unvented cylinders are a popular choice for properties with modern heating systems. You gain mains pressure at all your taps and the cylinder will supply water to radiators efficiently in multiple rooms.
You can use solar panels with your unvented cylinder to push down costs on your energy bills.
We have a guide on the different types of boilers: Combi, System and Conventional boiler.

Direct Vs Indirect Unvented Cylinders
The type of cylinder you need will depend on the heat source you have available to heat your water.
Direct Unvented Cylinders
Direct Unvented Cylinders are suitable if you have no other way to heat your water. They typically have dual electric immersions that heat the water directly, and are powered by electricity only. The heating element or immersion heater is directly inserted into the water, hence the name "direct".
Indirect Unvented Cylinders
Indirect Unvented Cylinders, on the other hand, are compatible with gas boilers or oil boilers. These cylinders have a coil inside that connects to the boiler. The hot water from the boiler flows into the coil, heats the stored water indirectly, and maintains its temperature. The term "indirect" refers to the fact that the boiler water flowing around the coil is sealed separately from the stored water.
Indirect Unvented Cylinders typically include an immersion as a backup, and the water temperature flowing around the coil from the boiler is higher than the stored water temperature, which guarantees a constant supply of hot water.
Which Is Right for You?
The choice between unvented cylinders, vented cylinders, and combi boilers depends on your specific needs and the requirements of your property. Our expert team at JDF Maintenance will guide you through the decision-making process, considering factors such as
