Efficiency of Unvented Cylinders
Unvented cylinders offer excellent efficiency in providing hot water. The high-pressure water supply ensures that water is delivered at a consistent flow rate and temperature throughout the property, regardless of multiple outlets being used simultaneously. This eliminates the issue of reduced water pressure experienced in vented systems. Additionally, unvented cylinders are well-insulated, minimising heat loss and ensuring that hot water is readily available whenever needed.
