Before & After: Upgrading to a Larger Hot Water Cylinder
There’s nothing more frustrating than running out of hot water, especially in a busy household.
This customer contacted A1 Services Oxford Ltd because their existing hot water cylinder was simply too small to meet their family’s daily hot water demand. Rather than constantly running out of hot water, they chose to upgrade to a larger, higher-capacity cylinder that would provide plenty of hot water when they needed it most.
We removed the old cylinder from the loft and installed a brand-new, larger-capacity insulated hot water cylinder, complete with new safety controls, valves and insulated pipework.
The benefits of the upgrade include:
✅ Significantly more hot water storage for the whole household.
✅ Longer showers without running out of hot water.
✅ Improved energy efficiency with a modern, well-insulated cylinder.
✅ Greater reliability and peace of mind.
✅ A professional installation completed to current industry standards.
The before and after photos show the transformation, with the new cylinder providing a much larger hot water reserve while fitting neatly within the existing loft space.
If your family is regularly running out of hot water, your cylinder may simply be too small for your home’s needs. Upgrading to a larger cylinder can make a huge difference to your comfort without the inconvenience of constantly waiting for water to reheat.
