We’re your local heating and hot water specialists in South London. Get in touch to discuss how an unvented cylinder could benefit your home.

What are unvented cylinders?

Unvented cylinders (often called Megaflo cylinders) are a form of hot water storage used in many larger homes. The water is taken from the mains, heated by your boiler and held under pressure within the cylinder. This unique design means all your hot water outlets operate at the same pressure as your water mains. Unvented cylinders are great for homes where a high demand for hot water exists (like a busy family home). Often fitted in airing cupboards, this system also replaces your cold water storage in the loft, making it more efficient and freeing up space.

We partner with leading brands to bring you top-quality products with the best guarantees. As partner installers, we offer you exclusive guarantees, faster installations, and premium aftercare plans. South London Heating installs premium cylinder brands including Megaflo, Worcester Bosch, and Gledhill. This means your new unvented cylinder will save you money on energy bills and won't let you down. We hold the relevant G3 qualification for working on unvented hot water systems. Our highly qualified team at South London Heating will install your new unvented hot water cylinder quickly, keeping you, your family, and your home warm and clean.
