The History of Plumbing

While power flushing and boiler maintenance are current buzzwords in the vocabulary of every plumber we were not always so sophisticated. We often forget that plumbing wasn’t always so commonplace and while it’s so easy to be at awe by the Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton’s of the world, it’s just as easy to overlook the inventors of the things we use everyday. Take the toilet and the sink. Can you imagine life without them? Quite a revolting image it brings to mind if you ask us. So, for today, let’s give tribute to those who came before us who, despite limited technology, created their own version of networks of functional pipes, valve assemblies, and drain fittings to transport water to man and to eliminate waste. It’s time to delve into the history of plumbing.

How Ensuring Efficiency Heating In The Home Can Save You Money

Considering that a typical UK household uses an average of £1,420 annually on energy bills, any activity aimed at ensuring efficient use of energy would save the household money, whilst maintaining a warm and welcoming home. Central heating is the largest consumer of energy in the majority of households, and activities that ensure central heating efficiency would therefore; lower the burden of paying huge energy bills in households.

Maintaining Boiler Efficiency

Checking and maintaining boiler efficiency requires regular testing to ensure that the boiler is running at optimum performance levels. Usually the range will be between 75 and 80%. If your boiler is operating at 50% and below this is a sign that regular testing and adjustments are not being done.

Making sure that your boiler is running smoothly has many benefits. For one it will reduce the energy consumption. If a boiler is working properly and efficiently maintained it will not need expensive repairs down the road. It will also mean a longer life.
