Kingspan - When to use a hot water cylinder?
“Is this hot water system capable of meeting the demands it could face?”
If you're a plumbing & heating installer, that’s the crucial question you can ask yourself when working with your customers on adaptations, retrofits and extensions to their home. If the answer is “no”, it’s an opportunity for you to upgrade your customer to an unvented hot water cylinder.
Combi boilers can be just the job for smaller homes with only one bathroom but they’re often left lagging when using more than one hot water outlet at the same time. If your customer is adding a bathroom, building an extension for a new utility room or a workshop with hot water, it could be time to consider adding an element of stored hot water to the system.
It’s no good installing the most luxurious en-suite shower or beautiful new bathroom if your customer is left disappointed because the bath takes forever to fill or the shower becomes a trickle as soon as someone turns on the kitchen sink tap.
That’s where hot water cylinders are the best product for the job!
Whether it’s in a home with one bathroom and an en-suite, or in a multiple-occupancy home with four or five bathrooms, they can handle hot water being used simultaneously in multiple places throughout the home.
