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 UNESCO World Heritage properties in New Town have uninsulated copper cylinders that waste significant energy.

What size hot water cylinder do I need in New Town?

A 1–2 bedroom UNESCO World Heritage property in New Town 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 UNESCO World Heritage properties in New Town looking to reduce energy costs.
