Do Unvented Hot Water Cylinders, once installed, need to be registered as fitted and if so who with?
Thanks in advance
OOPS just found this and to clarify; does this mean the installer of the unvented cylinder must notify Gas Safe Register they have installed a New Unvented Cylinder on an old heating system and if so, would the customer receive certification of the Newly installed cylinder at a later date from GSR; similar to a Building Compliance Certificate when a new heating system has been installed?
What are the Rules for Notifying the Installation of a HW Cylinder?
We have received lots of questions about clarification on the rules around notifying the installation of a HW cylinder through GSR. We’ve clarified with GSR, and here’s what they’ve said:

We have received lots of questions about clarification on the rules around notifying the installation of a HW cylinder through GSR. We’ve clarified with GSR, and here’s what they’ve said:
- If the installer has fitted a cylinder only in a house to an existing gas heat producing appliance that they did NOT fit, then they can notify the installation of the cylinder via GSR so long as they are registered to do so.
- If the installer has fitted a cylinder only in a house where the heat producing appliance is supplied by a different fuel (electric, oil, biomass etc), then they cannot notify the installation of the cylinder via GSR even if they are registered with GSR. This would need to be notified directly to the LABC or through a different Competent Person Scheme.
