Direct electric hot water · Cardiff
No gas boiler. A considered hot-water upgrade.
A Gledhill 200-litre direct unvented cylinder, an expansion vessel upgrade and associated pipework — installed by SwiftHeat UK Group Ltd in Cardiff.
System: direct electric, mains-fed hot water
Cylinder: Gledhill, 200 litres
Location: Cardiff
Stored hot water, powered by electricity
A direct electric cylinder heats its stored water with immersion heaters. It does not need a gas boiler to provide hot water, making it an option to assess for properties without a gas supply.
This Cardiff installation uses a 200-litre Gledhill cylinder alongside the expansion vessel upgrade and associated pipework. The photograph shows the installed arrangement; the capacity and layout are specific to this property.
What we consider for your home
Before recommending a replacement, we discuss how many people use hot water, the number of bathrooms and when demand overlaps. We also assess the incoming water supply, electrical provision, controls, cupboard space and access for future servicing.
Safety controls, expansion provision and discharge arrangements form part of the installation assessment. Your written quotation sets out the proposed equipment and work before you decide.
- Removal and disposal of the existing cylinder, where included in the agreed scope
- Cylinder and expansion-vessel installation with the required pipework alterations
- Testing, commissioning and an explanation of operation and aftercare
Understand the warranty and aftercare
Gledhill offers a 25-year inner-cylinder warranty for registered domestic Stainless ES installations and two-year component cover, subject to its applicable terms, correct installation and servicing requirements. The warranty is not a blanket guarantee of every installation cost or separate accessory.
We explain the cover for the specified cylinder and expansion vessel in your quotation and handover. Keep the registration, commissioning and service records for future reference.
