Oil boilers continue to be a popular and efficient heating solution for rural homes across Dorset. We recently carried out a full Oil Boiler Installation in Three Legged Cross, which included a system revamp and unvented cylinder change as part of a broader home renovation. This case study outlines the work carried out, why a cylinder replacement is often worth considering during an oil boiler upgrade, and how we can help with your installation.
About This Oil Boiler Installation Project
Our client in Three Legged Cross, a rural village near Verwood in Dorset, contacted us during their home renovation project. Their existing boiler and heating system were outdated, inefficient, and no longer suitable for the demands of a modern household. They needed a complete overhaul to ensure consistent hot water and heating performance moving forward.
We installed a new external oil boiler, helping to free up space indoors while delivering excellent heating performance. Alongside the boiler replacement, we upgraded the entire system and replaced the existing cylinder with a modern unvented hot water cylinder.
The project included:
- Removal of the old internal oil boiler
- Installation of a new external oil boiler with an 8-year guarantee
- Full system revamp, including updated pipework and components
- Installation of a new unvented hot water cylinder for higher pressure hot water
- Testing and commissioning of the entire heating system
The benefits to the customer include:
- Improved energy efficiency, reducing ongoing running costs
- Space-saving installation, thanks to the external boiler
- Stronger hot water pressure, ideal for modern bathrooms and showers
- Peace of mind, with an impressive 8-year warranty on the new boiler

Why Consider an Unvented Cylinder Change?
If you’re replacing your oil boiler, it often makes sense to consider upgrading your hot water cylinder at the same time. Here’s why:
- Increased Water Pressure
- Unvented cylinders are connected directly to the mains water supply, which means you benefit from strong, consistent water pressure throughout the home—perfect for power showers and modern bathroom fittings.
- Better Efficiency
- Modern unvented cylinders are highly insulated and better at retaining heat, which can reduce the energy needed to heat your water.
- Space Saving
- Since unvented systems don’t require a cold water storage tank in the loft, they help free up valuable loft space and simplify your system layout.
- Reduced Maintenance
- Fewer components and a sealed system mean less likelihood of leaks, corrosion, or airlocks compared to older vented setups.
- Future-Proofing Your Home
- If you plan to add bathrooms or extend your home, an unvented system is more likely to cope with the additional demand.
We frequently recommend unvented cylinder upgrades alongside boiler replacements when working on oil boiler tank replacements in Dorset.
