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 inter-war semis and properties in Drylaw have uninsulated copper cylinders that waste significant energy.

What size hot water cylinder do I need in Drylaw?

A 1–2 bedroom inter-war semis and property in Drylaw 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 inter-war semis and properties in Drylaw looking to reduce energy costs.
