Shower cold midway through because somebody flushed the loo above you? That's a telltale sign that your system is old-fashioned and tank-fed. The solution to this is an unvented cylinder. It brings water directly from the mains. The water pressure in each of the taps in the house is the same, irrespective of how many taps are being used simultaneously. Our boiler repair specialists at Boiler Repairs Burnley have been doing repairs and servicing unvented hot water cylinders in Burnley since 2011. Each of our engineers is certified G3.
Our range of services includes the installation of direct and indirect systems of Megaflo, Gledhill, Telford and Kingspan cylinders. We size each cylinder based on the actual hot water need of the property. We do not size it based on what we have available in the van. A one-bathroom terraced house in Rosegrove is unlikely to need the same capacity. A detached property in Hapton, where there are two showers and one bath in use, needs more.
If there's a banging or kettling sound coming from the airing cupboard, it doesn't necessarily indicate that there's something wrong with the cylinder. Usually, it indicates a build-up of scale around the immersion heater. This is not uncommon because of the hardness of water in the city. This will only require one visit to do a descale and to check the thermostat.
All installations will include the expansion vessel, pressure-reducing valve, temperature and pressure relief valve, and tundish, as well as the discharge pipe. All these components help maintain a closed and pressurised system. In case of any problems, we first determine the actual root of the problem. This might involve a continuous leakage from a tundish, a broken non-return valve, or reduction of pressure when two taps are used at once.
How much does an unvented cylinder installation cost in Burnley? An ordinary installation may cost you from £1,600 to £3,300. The price depends on the size of the cylinder and the possibility of using the already existing pipework. The larger indirect cylinders used in houses with two bathrooms will be installed at the higher end of the price range mentioned above.
Annual service is mandatory in case of unvented systems. This is the only means by which it will be possible to inspect whether the expansion vessel, pressure-reducing valve and safety devices are still functioning. In addition, all manufacturer warranties usually make annual servicing a prerequisite. Our coverage includes the Burnley town centre, Rose Hill, Burnley Wood, Stoneyholme, Brierfield and Hapton, as well as the BB10, BB11 and BB12 postcodes. Full documentation will be given for insurance purposes or in case of selling your property.
