What Does a Plumbing and Heating Engineer Do?
Whether you’re looking to service your boiler, upgrade your central heating system, renovate your kitchen or bathroom, or simply install a new outdoor tap to water your garden or fill up your hot tub, there are so many ways that a Plumbing and Heating Engineer in Plymouth can help your home.
Plumbing and Heating are both key components that make a house a home – keeping you warm in the winter, hydrated all year round, and, of course, providing essential water supplies to keep you clean and refreshed, as well as vital drainage systems.
You might not have thought much about the importance of your Plumbing and Heating, but that’s a sign that your system has been installed correctly – when something goes wrong, you’ll certainly know about it. This is why it’s so important to hire a professional rather than rely on your DIY skills.
Boiler Services for Your Hot Water and Heating
Your boiler is at the heart of your home, providing hot water and heating when you need it most. A Gas Safe Plumbing and Heating Engineer can work with all types of boilers, such as Regular, System or Combi from industry-leading brands like Worcester Bosch, Alpha, or Vaillant.
Boiler Installation and Replacement
If you have an old and ineffective system, it might be time for a new Boiler Installation. An old boiler is a bit like a ticking time bomb – you never know when it’s going to pack up and stop working, unexpectedly leaving you without hot water or heating at the worst possible time.
Whilst replacing your boiler requires a high initial investment – the good news is you’ll actually save money in the long run thanks to an increase in efficiency to reduce your energy bills. Plus, a brand-new boiler is less likely to break down and need emergency repairs. What’s more, you get an instant boiler quote online, as well as finance options to help you spread the costs over a repayment term that best suits you.
Finding the right boiler for your home in Plymouth will depend on your requirements:
Combi Boilers
Due to their compact size, combi boilers are ideal for smaller properties. Without needing a hot water cylinder, they free up more living space.
Systems Boilers
Perfect for homes with multiple bathrooms, system boilers offer a steady supply of hot water to several taps simultaneously.
Regular Boilers
Also known as open vent boilers, regular boilers are well-suited for homes with two or more bathrooms, where a lot of hot water is used at the same time.
Boiler Service
To keep your boiler in tip-top condition, running efficiently and safely, it is absolutely essential to book a Boiler Service appointment with your local Plumbing and Heating Engineer in Plymouth. You can either book in a one-off appointment or an Annual Service Contract with a Boiler Care Package.
You might be thinking, if your boiler is running okay for now – why do you need to fork out every year for servicing? However, there are many Advantages of an Annual Boiler Service. To name a few:
- Ensures gas safety
- Boosts energy efficiency
- Prevents costly repairs
- Increased lifespan
- Maintains your warranty
- Legal obligations for landlords
Don’t forget to book in your annual Boiler Service early in the summer months to get in before the winter rush!
