Is it Worth Having Your Boiler Repaired?
Yes, you might be pleasantly surprised at how little it can cost to repair a boiler, and you will also find that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. There are many reasons why you might be considering repairing your boiler instead of replacing it. Some of these reasons include the following:
- Repairing a boiler is often much more cost effective than replacing it. The repair can be as simple as just fixing the pressure relief valve or thermostat, and many of today's boilers are very easy to maintain. This means that you could save hundreds if not thousands of pounds on installation costs by having your boiler repaired instead of replaced
- There would only be one service charge, which saves on money in both the short term and long term. When you replace an old fashioned boiler with a new state-of-the art model, there will likely need to be two separate servicing periods each year - once for winter time use when heat requirements are at their highest, and again during summer months when cold water systems are used most
- An annual check up is likely to make sure that your boiler is working at its best and you can be confident of getting the highest possible performance from it for many years ahead - something which may not always happen with a new replacement model! If you want peace of mind then having regular servicing will help, as repairs like this often come out cheaper than buying a brand new boiler each year. The cost of hiring an engineer and paying for their labour charges (and any parts) are far less expensive than replacing your home heating system every few years while still incurring installation costs on top.

“We tried many various plumbers to undertake and resolve a problem we had with our boiler and heating system, none of them could fully fix the issue. We call SOS plumbing and heating and the came around in the evening on the first day. We carefully explained what the difficulty was and they solved the matter within an hour. They impressed us as they were tidy, polite and professional. I’ll definitely use them again if for any reason i have plumbing or heating problems in the future. I have recommended them to my friends and family and they too have been happy with their work. 10/10 from us! Trevor bedford”

“I had a nasty experience with a previous trader who in my opinion was not a plumber, I was very wary about using anyone else. To my delight I found these guys to be polite and approachable and excellent communication throughout the task in hand. They responded quickly after my initial phone enquiry and was exactly on time to our agreed appointment. Boiler was fixed at a fair price and even gave the engineer a tip, more than happy with the service, thanks, Jenny Green”

Drains & BlockagesIf you happen to be unfortunate and have acquired a blocked drain, pipe or gutter, please contact us as we offer a drain cleaning service in the Southend and surrounding areas. Whether it’s an emergency blockage that needs attending too rapidly or a problem that you simply have not got around to curing yet and needs attention. Many things can cause a drain to be blocked and prevent the free flow of water. It could be a physical item that has somehow worked its way into the drain or pipework or maybe a build-up of fat, hair or detergent products that is causing the problem. Dirty or wastewater that is backed up and being prevented from flowing naturally can cause more expensive problems in your home, as this unwanted water floods out onto your kitchen floor, or even worse your upstairs bathroom.

Drain Survey - CCTV Drainage SurveyA CCTV drain survey is a way of visually checking for any defects or damage that may be causing a blockage, such as collapsed drains and debris build-up. A professional camera inspection system allows the detection to be done within minutes as opposed to hours or days by traditional means such as opening up manholes. Modern drainage survey systems typically use a high quality camera housed within an inspection vehicle. This is driven into the drain and then stitched images are processed to give a 360 degree view of the internal surface, similar to Google Street View for drains! This gives us all the information we need to detect problems on the drain walls, floor and even in manholes. We are then able to assess any problems that can be seen on screen or by using 4th generation ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys that show us what is beyond the camera's reach or concealed within inaccessible sections of pipe such as bends and drops.

Combination (Combi Boilers)
Combi boilers are a lot more efficient than the older type boilers, as the older ones tend to use more gas due to their initial design inefficiencies and their general wear and tear over long periods of time. These older boilers that are usually around 10 years plus are most likely to have sub-par efficiency than any new combi boilers that are available on the market today. SOS Plumbing & Heating only offers and installs ‘A’ rated energy efficient combi boilers which correlates to about 90% in fuel savings, this is a real cost-effective solution for your pocket. This all boils down to “no pun intended” that the extraction of energy (heat) from the gases, which is usually wasted in the older type boilers, isn't wasted in our modern combi boilers. This overall loss of potential energy is due to the gases that are being ejected out through the boiler's flue in your non-combination type boiler. On the other hand our modern style combi boilers have secondary heat exchangers installed, so if by chance there are gases escaping emerging from the primary heat exchanger it still manages to be caught within the secondary heat exchanger. This equates to there being fewer gases that can escape, especially at lower temperatures, this is great because it means that more heat is contained. The effect and status of this superior cooling method causes our water vapours to condense, (this is where the name combination or combi boiler originates from) which forms small water droplets that are in fact drained from your boiler to a drain.
Combination Boilers Pro’s and Con’s
Pros:
You have no need for a water tank installation as all your water will be heated as when it’s needed. Very good at heating your home economically, efficiently resulting in less carbon emissions. If you are short on space then these boilers fit into tight small spaces.
Cons:
Not best suited for large type homes because if you have lots of appliances constantly in use it will result in a loss of important pressure, and these types of boilers rely on good water pressure, plus the more facilities attached will have an adverse effect on the overall temperature.
Conclusion
So we don’t really advise on the installation of a combination boiler for your larger type houses with plenty of facilities running. But alternatively for your smaller domestic homes combi boilers are an ideal solution and can save you a lot ‘s of money in bills. We can install any type of boiler, if you are not sure then please don’t hesitate in contacting us for expert advice on which boiler would suit your home environment.
System Boilers
System boilers are a very efficient and economical way to heat your house. Most customers have mentioned that they cannot tell the difference between our system boilers and regular type boilers. So let's look into what that difference is? The system boiler takes up much less volume of space than your regular type boiler because it incorporates the cistern tank and the other components but still administers a solid direct flow of hot water. SOS Plumbing & Heating supports the idea of a system boiler for slightly larger residential homes that don’t have the luxury of space to site the usual storage systems. System boilers are already fortunate to house the major boiler components within this heating system. This makes for a faster and simpler installation process. Also, you can take into account the hot water from the new system boiler which will be pumped through the house radiators and our hot water cylinder, which will deliver a much more rapid response which in turn will be more economical and lower our bills and running costs. All the major components are built within the system which saves overall space, so holds many advantages over a regular boiler.
System Boilers and their Pro’s and Con’s
Pros: All the major boiler components are built-in and contained within the system, this means less space will be taken up in your home. System boiler installations are easier, cost-effective and much more economical, which will provide faster and rapid hot water when it's needed.
Cons: You have to make sure that your cylinder is well insulated, otherwise it will lose heat. The same can be said for the feed expansion tank with regular boiler set-ups. If your cylinder tank is poorly insulated, then you will always have to wait forever for the water to reheat again to have a hot bath. Also, it all depends on the size of your tank on how much water will be available.
System Boiler Conclusion
We always recommend this system and boiler to our customers that reside in larger type properties that will need a lot of hot water for all their different functions. But could also be pushed for space for a regular type boiler that will need a feed tank expansion situated within their loft space.

What Exactly is Plumbing and Heating?
Plumbing and Heating is a professional and highly skilled trade that deals with everything to do with gas and water installations inside buildings, such examples could be plumbing and heating installations of new boilers, radiators, bathrooms and kitchen installations, toilets, sinks and all kinds of taps, internal and external. A trained plumber is an individual who is fully qualified at carrying out all aspects of plumbing and heating installations. This can include the fitting and installation of all types of copper and PVC pipework that supplies your water distribution and waste pipes which removes all the waste water products away from your residential home or commercial property and straight into the public drains. Good sound plumbing is vital for the proper functioning of heating in any building. Therefore the need for professional plumbing (like Chilliwack Plumber) is an important factor in the running of any home or business, just make sure of their credentials.
What Kind of Plumbing is Needed for a Dishwasher machine?
The connection of a dishwasher to your plumbing system, this will require the need to make sure the incoming water service valve supply pipe is turned to the off position. Following this you have to connect the flexible water pipe that was supplied with your dishwasher to your incoming water supply pipe. Once this has been done, turn this incoming valve to release the water and double check for any leaks. When your cold water supply connection has been completed and no leaks are visible, you must place the supplied flexible waste pipe hose to your kitchen sink waste outlet. To identify this pipe it is usually easy, as it's most likely a grey and corrugated pipe. Fix this to your kitchen waste and make sure it’s secured properly by a pipe clip. If you are still not confident and unsure, then please contact SOS Plumbing and Heating for assistance.

How much do plumbers charge?
The hourly rate plumbers charge for services varies from £25-£80 per hour. The cost of a plumber is determined by the location of your home and the additional time it may take to reach you as this will increase travelling costs that are chargeable on top of their hourly rate. Plumbers working from outside the city will charge more than those working within a close proximity to zone one as they have a higher skilled trade and therefor earn a more competitive hourly rate. Other factors that affect the cost we charge for plumbing services include the complexity of the job, the experience requirements, whether specialty tools need to be obtained, the time it takes to diagnose the problem and whether spare parts are needed.

“After waking up on a winter's Sunday morning to a burst pipe I was devastated, I quickly called SOS plumbing and heating and they sent an engineer straight away. The man arrived in about 1 hour and set straight to work in fixing the pipe by replacing a section that was spurting out water. He was a nice bloke who went about getting the job done calmly and efficiently as i was really panicking and totally forgot to turn off the water. I know who to ring now and have their number attached to the fridge. I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone. Laura harding”
