FAQs – Hot Water Systems in Glasgow

What is an unvented hot water cylinder? An unvented cylinder connects directly to your mains water supply. This means you get high-pressure hot water at every tap and shower without the need for a noisy pump or a tank in the loft.

Why is my hot water cylinder making a humming or knocking noise? This is often caused by high pressure, an expanding internal air gap, or a faulty valve. It should be inspected immediately to prevent damage to your pipework.

How often should a hot water cylinder be serviced? If you have an unvented system, it must be serviced annually by a qualified engineer to check the safety valves and expansion vessel. This is often a requirement for your home insurance.

Mark stripped out walls, ceiling and floor of our old shower room as well as carrying out all the new plumbing and installations with great skill. His workmanship is meticulous, he listened carefully to our wishes and was a friendly and courteous person to have around. His attention to detail is impressive, sometimes leading to him taking a lot longer to finish a days work than scheduled, but this was always in our favour. Highly recommended.

I can't recommend Safe Heating & Plumbing enough! Excellent service. I was in a bad spot where another plumbing company had completely botched the installation of my new radiators and I called Safe Heating & Plumbing to see if it could be salvaged. Mark was able to perform a rescue job, repair everything and install everything correctly. Since then, I've also had Mark fix my boiler and he is the only plumber I call now. Professional, great attention to detail and very friendly service.

Mark and his team installed an Air Source Heat Pump system including radiators which we qualified for as part of several energy saving improvements including solar panels and loft insulation. He always kept us informed each step of the process. He is clearly knowledgeable about this fairly new type of product and was keen to hear how we were getting on with the new system, particularly in relation to affordability. He took the time to demonstrate the controls and made sure the settings that work for our property were input into the controller. Throughout the installation the lads were courteous and respectful of our home. Anyone thinking of installing an air source heat pump should get in touch with these guys as they pay attention to detail, explain everything and clearly know their stuff!
