- Vented or unvented, and the capacity of the new cylinder if one is needed.
- Where the cylinder sits and how easy it is to reach and remove, whether in a cupboard or the loft.
- How much pipework, wiring or discharge pipe has to change to suit the new cylinder.
- For an unvented cylinder, the safety devices that must be fitted and the Building Regulations requirements that apply to the installation.
