How many bathrooms can an unvented cylinder run at once?

It depends on the cylinder size and the recovery rate, not just the boiler. For a typical Bearsden house with three bathrooms and an en-suite we would normally size for two simultaneous showers with no noticeable drop — we calculate it rather than guess.

Is a heat pump a serious option for a Bearsden house?

In many cases, yes. Detached houses with plot space, decent insulation and room for a slightly larger radiator or two are exactly the profile heat pumps suit, and the Home Energy Scotland grant of up to £7,500 plus an interest-free loan takes a large bite out of the cost. We survey heat loss properly before recommending it.

Bearsden homes, and what they need

Bearsden is dominated by substantial detached and semi-detached houses, from interwar villas through 1960s–80s detached estates to modern executive builds. Most have three or more bathrooms, en-suites and long pipe runs, which pushes almost every specification towards a system boiler with a high-recovery unvented cylinder and multiple zones. Generous plots and good insulation in the newer stock also make Bearsden one of the more realistic areas in our patch for air source heat pumps.
