Types of hot water cylinders
There are two different types of hot water cylinders available in the UK.
Vented and unvented.
Both cylinders offer differing services. In addition, their water tank replacement cost varies since the hot water supply system differs fundamentally.
Vented hot water cylinders
The most common water heater found in the UK is The Vented Cylinder.
It is also the cheapest to replace .
A vented hot water cylinder system is usually made of cold water tanks in the attic and supplies cold water to the cylinders.
Vented cylinders depend on gravity to work and are usually placed above the cylinder.
This cylinder expands while water is heated, but vent pipes and tanks on a higher ground allow the excess water to escape.
Unvented hot water cylinders
An unvented hot water cylinder does not require a water storage tank.
Instead, the water in this closed hot water cylinder is supplied directly from the cold water network.
The unvented cylinders are pressured by water inflow.
An unvented hot water cylinder can last for 30 years.
How much does it cost to fit a new hot water cylinder UK?
It should cost you around £200 -£300 for an unvented cylinder replacement supply only .
Expect to pay a plumber around £300 for his services. A cylinder replacement can be done in a day.

Clean cooper (no joints etc on it) is worth about £4 per Kg.
Brassierie copper (with joints on the tank ) is worth about £2.75 per Kg.
A clean copper cylinder could be worth between £50 and £100.
What is a vented hot water cylinder?
A vented hot water cylinder is a system that relies heavily on gravity to ensure hot water and heating can be accessed throughout a property.
In a vented system, water is fed from a cold water tank usually kept in the loft, and then passed through a vent pipe to a hot water cylinder situated within the house.
These cylinders are typically made from copper and take water from a large water tank located in the loft.
Is it easy to replace a hot water cylinder?
You can easily replace a hot water cylinder if you have basic plumbing skills.
This involves draining the system down and replacing some pipework so that the new cylinder fits.
You will also need to do a little electric work too.
Do you need an electrician to install a hot water cylinder?
Hot water cylinder elements do need a qualified electrician to safely replace them.
Do hot water cylinders need servicing?
A vented Hot water cylinder does not have any moving parts so do not need any servicing as long as the water is heating up and there are no signs of water leaking or any damage.
What are the disadvantages of hot water cylinders?
- Your home’s water pressure depends on the height of the cold water tank. …
- Vented installation rarely delivers hot water at the pressure of an unvented system. …
- Requires storage space in the loft for the cold water tank.
Can a hot water cylinder run out of hot water?
As the supply of warm water is used, more needs to be heated in the cylinder.
So the problem of running out of warm water might result from using up all the warm water in your cylinder.
If several people in the home have showers in a short period of time, this can happen.
When installing the feeds for the shower, you should always have the hot water feed taken from the top of the cylinder.
