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 garden suburb properties in Knightswood have uninsulated copper cylinders that waste significant energy.

A 1–2 bedroom inter-war garden suburb property in Knightswood 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?
