When should I replace my hot water cylinder?

If your cylinder is over 15 years old, poorly insulated, or not providing enough hot water, it's time for an upgrade. Many older 1970s and 1980s properties in Baberton have uninsulated copper cylinders that waste significant energy.

What size hot water cylinder do I need in Baberton?

A 1–2 bedroom 1970s and 1980s property in Baberton needs a 120–150 litre cylinder. 3–4 bedrooms need 180–250 litres. If you have a bath, we recommend at least 150 litres for comfortable use.

Can a new cylinder work with solar panels?

Yes, modern dual-coil cylinders have a dedicated solar input, allowing solar thermal panels to pre-heat your water for free. This is an excellent upgrade for 1970s and 1980s properties in Baberton looking to reduce energy costs.
