If your home struggles with poor hot water pressure—or you need a reliable way to supply multiple bathrooms—an unvented cylinder could be the answer. I’m Darren, owner of Young’s Plumbing and Heating, and for over 15 years I’ve been installing unvented hot water cylinders in homes across Glasgow to deliver high-pressure, consistent hot water where it’s needed most.
We recently upgraded a family home in Newton Mearns that had constant complaints of weak showers and slow-filling baths. Their old open-vented system just couldn’t keep up. We installed a modern 210-litre unvented cylinder with balanced outlets, and the difference was instant. Now the whole house gets hot water—fast and strong—even when two showers are running.
Whether you’re replacing a traditional tank, upgrading from a combi system, or planning for an extension or loft conversion, we’ll design and install an unvented cylinder setup that fits your home and your lifestyle.
