As Certifying Plumber, Gas fitter & Drainlayer in NZ with over 30 yearse experience we have acquired a range of skills, both in New Zealand and Europe. This truly gives us the edge.
Installation of heating systems is something that most of us only see as an afterthought when the weather hits the lowest temperatures. But summer is the time to think of the times ahead so you are snug in winter without a hitch.

As it is summer right now, we want to think of BBQ's with friends and family.
This means SAFETY FIRST.
BBQ's run by gas bottles can be a real risk. So make sure the bottles have been tested by your gas supplier and the bottles been certified. Summertime is too precious to waste with results of faulty bbq gear. We wish for all our customers to stay safe and have a very enjoyable time outdoors.
A) The pay-off lies in saving energy by using good insulation on long exposed hot water pipes. Each meter of exposed hot water loses you heat, which the heat source has to re-heat, hence costing you money and pollutes the environment unnecessary.
B) The other pay-off lies in the use of the right heating source. A gas continuous water unit (Infinity) is one of the most environmentally friendly sources, as it only uses the fuel for as long as you have the hot water tap open. This puts you in charge about how much water and energy you use and therefore how much pollutants get into the air. Long showers negate positive results elsewhere.
A hot water cylinder on the other hand keeps the heat at a constant level of heat, which means, it uses energy 24/7, even when well insulated. Old cylinders are often double as expensive to run than a gas infinity hot water unit. If your electricity source is not connected to renewable energy, it uses approx. 30% more energy than gas. This means: More pollutants get into the environment in order to keep your water constantly warm.
As we look toward Europe, we have found incredible ways of building efficient and effective ways for heating systems and materials the most environmentally friendly way possible. As Germany is very cold in winter, building materials have to be efficient and effective. Technology is constantly upgraded to find the most eco-friendly ways as other more environmentally friendly energy sources have to be developed.
The word ECO is often misleading and not well understood.
Eco is actually a lifestyle that looks at everything in its entirety.
The real meaning of going ECO:
For instance, when the house gets a new heating system it should also be insulated so the heat stays where it should be - in your home, keeping you warm and healthy during winter. If the heat can escape from your house by way of little or no insulation or gaps in doors and windows, the heating source has to produce more heat and the environment gets a higher dose of pollutants. The right heating system therefore means you are saving real money as well as keeping both the environment cleaner and yourself healthier.
We have you in mind to stay healthy and safe in your home
for a long time to come.
