Annual Unvented Hot Water Cylinder Servicing – Don’t Overlook This Essential Safety Check

An Annual Unvented Hot Water Cylinder Service is just as important as servicing your gas boiler — yet it is one of the most overlooked parts of a heating system.

Many homeowners simply forget about their cylinder because it continues producing hot water. But an unvented cylinder stores hot water under pressure and relies on important safety devices, including expansion controls, pressure relief and temperature protection.

If these components are neglected, faults can develop unnoticed and potentially create serious safety risks. That is why regular inspection and maintenance by a suitably qualified engineer is so important.

At SKAN Heating, we check the cylinder, expansion system, safety valves, controls and discharge arrangements to help ensure everything is operating correctly.

Don’t ignore your hot water cylinder. Respect the pressure, protect your system and make cylinder servicing part of your annual home safety routine.
