Unvented Hot Water

• Solar water heating systems can generate between
  50-60 of your hot water. Solar water heating
  panels are placed on a South facing roof or
  mounted on frames placed on a flat roof or on the
  ground. These panels are then angled between 15
  75 degrees to maximise the exposure to the Suns
  rays which are used to heat water stored in a
  tank.

• By installing a solar water heating system, not
  only would you be reducing your carbon footprint,
  you can also make savings on your energy costs.

4

• The saving generated will vary depending on the
  size of the property, the size of the solar water
  heating installation and the amount of sunlight
  in your area but some householders have been
  known to reduce their annual energy bills by
  anything between 30-70.

• A solar water heating system will also provide
  you with hot water throughout the year and can be
  backed up by a boiler or immersion heater in the
  colder months when there is not as much sunlight.

Unvented hot water system

• What is a unvented hot water system?
• Unvented hot water cylinders are used in many
  larger homes around the UK.

8

• Unvented cylinders operate directly from the
  mains water supply, providing a high pressure
  flow of water and can use an immersion heater to
  supplement the heating of the water. An unvented
  cylinder has built in safety measures to help
  support the high water pressures.

Advantages of an Unvented Cylinder

• The advantage of an unvented cylinder is that no
  additional tanks are required. Hot water can be
  provided constantly by the cylinder at mains
  pressure.

10

• Also, an unvented cylinder can be positioned in
  any suitable location as no other forces such as
  gravity are affecting the flow of water. The fact
  that an immersion heater is used to heat the
  water means that there is less reliance on the
  boiler.
