Advise on a NEW indirect unvented hot cylinder

[Lumen]

Hey guys!

Came here to get advice about building a new shower and changing my current F&E heating system to accommodate this. There have been some great advise (I am glad to be part of this forum and this great community) majority said to go for an unvented hot cylinder.

I've had few plumbers looking at the job and quoting. Quotes range from £1,500-£3,000 all in all (Removing the current F&E water tanks and getting 200L unvented cylinder in West London)
1) Is this reasonable?

All 3 plumbers quoted with a Megaflo cylinder. Which I know is a market leader, but it costs 40%-50% than some cylinders and I'm not sold by.

I have been doing some research and ended up with
Kingspan Flomaster (FN150ERP)
Kingspan Ultrasteel (AUI150) and
Telford Tempest (TSMI150)

I know Telford have 30 years warranty (2 years on parts) and is made of high grade of stainless steel
Kingspan 10/25 and has 'Duplex' stainless steel

I know there are a lot of professionals on this forum.

2) What are you experiences with these cylinders? Would you guys recommend either or something completely different?

We are planning to stay in the property for about 10 years and move else where after the retirement.

Thank you for any advice in advance!

Hi lumen, what type of boiler do you have or would you consider when installing a new system with an unvented cylinder?

Hi Matchless, we currently have conventional Ideal Classic FF350 heat only boiler.
I hope that helps,

Its a long time ago now , but I used to work for the now Kingspan, they used to be known as “Range cylinders “ .
Their cylinders are very good, in the hundreds I used to go out to fix under warrenty , 99% of the faults were caused by the muppets that installed them .
I wouldn’t hesitate to fit one in my house .

Personally I wouldn't fit mega flo. You're not getting anything extra for the extra money.

All your estimates from g3 qualified people?
