Are you considering upgrading to an unvented hot water cylinder but unsure about the installation timeline? Understanding the approximate duration of the installation process can help you plan accordingly and minimize any disruption to your daily routine. In this blog post, we will provide you with an overview of the typical installation time for unvented cylinders, taking various factors into account. By the end, you’ll have a clearer idea of what to expect during the installation process.
Factors Affecting Installation Time
- Preparatory Steps: Before the actual installation begins, our professional plumbers will carefully assess your property’s plumbing system, hot water demand, and available space. This evaluation helps determine the suitable size and location for your unvented cylinder. The preparatory stage usually takes a few hours, depending on the complexity of the project.
- Cylinder Replacement (if applicable): If you are replacing an existing vented cylinder, it will need to be safely disconnected and removed. The time required for this step depends on factors such as accessibility and the condition of the old cylinder. On average, removing an old cylinder can take around 1-2 hours.
- Unvented Cylinder Installation: The installation itself involves connecting the unvented cylinder to your plumbing system, including hot and cold water supplies, pressure relief valves, expansion vessels, and necessary controls. The duration of this stage varies based on factors like the complexity of the installation, the cylinder’s location, and specific requirements of your property. On average, the installation can take between 1-3 days.
- Testing and Commissioning: Once the unvented cylinder is installed, it undergoes thorough testing to ensure proper operation and safety. Our plumbers will check for any leaks, verify adequate water pressure, and ensure the functionality of all safety features. The testing and commissioning process typically takes around 1-2 hours.
- Final Checks and Cleanup: After the installation and testing are completed, our team will conduct a final inspection to ensure everything is in order. We take pride in leaving the work area clean and tidy, removing any debris or materials used during the installation process.
