Hot Water Cylinders

Pros of using hot water cylinders:

• It´s ideal for large homes. They can heat water in houses with 1 or 2 bathrooms.
• The hot water cylinder is an efficient and versatile fuel source when it comes to sustainable energy options. Not only does the use of a solar power or biomass fuels allow for cleaner heating, but you can also choose between direct immersion heaters in order not have any piping leave your house's walls.
• The backup system will keep your home warm and toasty during power outages or other emergencies.

Cons of using hot waters cylinders:

• They don´t provide service if taps, showers and radiators are opened at the same time.
• A hot water cylinder can only hold a finite amount of fluids before it runs out. It's certainly large enough to deal with normal daily demand, but if you have lots visitors and the need for fixtures is too high then be prepared; your wait may exceed one hour.
• The hot water is heated in advance and is therefore often heated more than is necessary. This means it’s less efficient, and that you’ll have slightly higher energy and water bills as a result.
