Water Heater Installation and Replacement in Cheshire

Types of water heater we install

• Vented hot water cylinders, fed from a cold water tank, common in older properties with a loft-based header tank
• Unvented hot water cylinders, fed directly from the mains at full pressure, giving stronger flow without needing a header tank
• Direct electric water heaters, where the cylinder heats the water itself using an immersion element rather than via a boiler
• Indirect cylinders, heated via a coil connected to your central heating boiler

What we check before recommending a system

• Your household size and typical hot water usage across the day
• Available space, since unvented cylinders and some tank systems need specific clearances for safety
• Your existing boiler type and whether it's compatible with the cylinder type you're considering
• Water pressure at the property, which affects whether an unvented system is a sensible upgrade

Why unvented systems have become popular

A lot of homes across Cheshire, particularly in areas like Wilmslow and Alderley Edge where loft conversions are common, are moving away from vented cylinders with header tanks toward unvented systems. Removing the tank frees up loft space, and mains pressure throughout the house generally gives a noticeably better experience at showers and taps. Unvented systems do need specific safety fittings and regular checks, which is where being G3 Registered matters, since this work is legally required to be carried out by someone properly qualified.

What's included in installation

We remove the old cylinder or tank if applicable, fit the new system with all necessary safety devices, connect to your existing pipework and heating system, and test the whole setup thoroughly, including checking temperature and pressure relief valves are functioning correctly before we consider the job finished.
