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 post-war council housing properties in Broomhouse have uninsulated copper cylinders that waste significant energy.

What size hot water cylinder do I need in Broomhouse?

A 1–2 bedroom post-war council housing property in Broomhouse 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 post-war council housing properties in Broomhouse looking to reduce energy costs.
