UK Cylinders: Enabling the Net Zero Transition

As the UK accelerates towards net zero and renewable-led heating, the role of efficient hot water storage has never been more critical. UK Cylinders is at the forefront of this transition, developing innovative products that support the next generation of low-carbon homes and buildings. Our specialist range of universal cylinders and buffer vessels are engineered to maximise the performance of any brand of heat pump and solar PV-integrated systems.

By combining low-temperature heat pump optimisation with PV-ready functionality, UK Cylinders provides future-ready solutions that help the industry deliver on performance, compliance, and long-term sustainability.

Designed for Low-Temperature Heating Systems

Heat pumps operate at their highest efficiency when running at lower flow temperatures. This creates a demand for cylinders specifically designed to deliver strong heat transfer and rapid recovery under these conditions.

UK Cylinders’ heat pump range is engineered for precisely this purpose, helping installers and specifiers achieve:

• Faster reheat times
• Improved overall system efficiency
• Enhanced end-user comfort and reliability

PV-Ready Cylinders for Smarter Energy Use

With solar photovoltaic (PV) installations on the rise, UK Cylinders has developed PV-ready cylinders that enable homeowners to make better use of self-generated electricity.

These cylinders are designed to:

• Utilise excess solar PV energy a diverter system
• Store hot water during peak solar generation
• Reduce reliance on grid-supplied electricity

This supports long-term running cost reductions and helps future-proof homes against evolving energy regulations.

A Comprehensive Range for Modern Installations

UK Cylinders provides a full portfolio of products to support renewable-led heating systems, including:

• Universal Heat pump cylinders
• Buffer tanks
• Pre-plumbed packaged solutions

This breadth of range gives specifiers and installers greater flexibility, streamlining specification while improving on-site efficiency.

All UK Cylinders products are manufactured in the UK using high-grade materials, advanced insulation, and strict quality controls. This ensures excellent performance, durability, and long service life — helping projects meet both performance targets and sustainability objectives.
