In the UK, most domestic heating systems use a hot water cylinder to make hot water consistently available throughout the home. The cylinders store and heat water in reserve that can be used in the home for such purposes as bathing and showering or to wash dishes.
At UFC Solution, we have solutions to both boiler hot water heating systems and stand-alone hot water cylinders. In case you are looking for a solution for an unvented hot water system or a hot water cylinder and immersion heater setup, we take care of keeping your water heating system running efficiently.
Knowing the type of hot water cylinder you have at home is very important in terms of proper maintenance and repair. We service three types of systems:
Vented Hot Water Cylinders
A vented cylinder relies on gravity force to distribute cold water from a storage tank, often located in the loft, to the cylinder, where it is heated and stored. The attraction about this type of system is that it's straightforward and economical, but the pressure may be lower than any other type of system. UFC Solution experts specialise in solving diagnosed problems related to vented cylinders.
Unvented Hot Water Cylinders
This type of system does not have a cold water storage tank but will be directly connected to the mains water supply; this layout gives a higher pressure of water and removes a cold water storage tank from the vented systems, which will still be necessary to have some other safety devices such as expansion vessels and pressure relief valves that must be serviced fairly regularly to avoid any breakdowns. UFC Solution offers the most reliable repair and maintenance services for unvented hot water systems to ensure safety and performance.
Combi Cylinders
A combination boiler cylinder is usually the unit that combines the cold water tank and the hot water cylinder into a single assembly. This is especially appropriate for a relatively smaller home with not a lot of space. Combi cylinders are compact by design and very convenient too. Provides you with a one-stop solution for heating and water requirements.
Typical servicing of your cylinder means that the water is being heated as efficiently as possible. This serves to decrease energy usage and thereby ensure that your utility bills are at their lowest possible price. UFC Solution's team does not fear the most common problems, such as:
Pressure Issues
Unvented systems are highly vulnerable to pressure problems, except that it may have an effect on the flow of the water; it can also cause safety risks. Regular servicing helps avoid the major pressure problems.
Temperature Control Failures
If the water is too hot or not heating properly, it may be due to a thermostat or heating element problem. Our engineers can diagnose this problem and correct it shortly so that your hot water cylinder and immersion heater will operate effectively.
Leaks
Leaks in your boiler hot water heating system or cylinder are basically resulting from corroded parts or loose connections. This should be fixed soon before water damage and system failure.
Scaling and Sediment Build-Up
Scaling occurs internally in the cylinder, which, over time, brings about inefficiencies and can additionally bring about a blockage. UFC Solution descales to optimise the efficiency and length of your system.
Expansion Issues
The expansion vessel with an unvented cylinder controls the pressure on heated water to stay safe in proportions. Any issues with the expansion vessel mean unsafe pressure levels. Issues like this require to be addressed as soon as possible.
Your hot water cylinder requires regular servicing to ensure that your system operates efficiently and smoothly, and that it is safe for you and your family, as well as your customers if you are a business owner. Some advantages of servicing with periodic checks include:
