Gledhill Stainless Unvented ES Cylinders

Gledhill Stainless Unvented ES Cylinders: Indirect vs. Direct

Gledhill's Stainless Unvented ES Cylinders range, known for its efficiency and high performance, offers two primary types of cylinders: Indirect and Direct. Understanding the differences between these two types is essential for choosing the right hot water solution for your home.

Indirect ES Cylinders

Indirect cylinders are designed to be used in conjunction with a separate heat source, such as a gas boiler or a solar thermal system. These cylinders have a built-in coil that allows the transfer of heat from the external source to the water inside the cylinder. The primary advantage of indirect cylinders is their compatibility with existing heating systems, making them a versatile choice for many homes. They are particularly suitable for households with a central heating system, where the boiler can efficiently provide both heating and hot water.

Direct ES Cylinders

Direct cylinders, on the other hand, are equipped with electric immersion heaters to heat the water inside the cylinder directly. These cylinders are ideal for homes without a conventional boiler or where an alternative heating source is not available. Direct cylinders are often chosen for their simplicity and ease of installation, as they do not require connection to an external heating system. They are especially useful in situations where space is limited or where the installation of a gas boiler is not feasible.

Choosing the Right Cylinder for Your Home

When selecting between an indirect and a direct cylinder, consider your current heating system, your hot water requirements, and the layout of your property. Indirect cylinders are a great choice if you already have a boiler and are looking to integrate your hot water system with it. Direct cylinders are more suited for homes that rely solely on electricity for heating or where a boiler is not present.

Both indirect and direct ES cylinders from Gledhill are manufactured to the highest standards, ensuring reliability, durability, and efficient performance. With Gledhill's commitment to quality, you can trust that whichever type you choose, you will be investing in a top-tier hot water solution.
