What size hot water cylinder do I need in Merchant City?

A 1–2 bedroom city-centre quarter with property in Merchant City 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?
