Know the Difference Between A Heating Engineer And Plumber

The homemakers in London often face issues with gas works and plumbing. For such problems, a heating engineer or a plumber is required to fix. From boiler breakdown to central heating installations and leaking pipes, a heating engineer's or a plumber's service is of utmost importance. The plumbers deal with fixation of water pipes and systems. However, the heating engineers deal with water as well as gas.

Nowadays, plumbing pipes are not made from lead. The plumbers spend a plenty of time after these pipes to remove them, as the lead in water is hazardous for drinking purposes. The modern plumbers are well trained in plumbing works only. Plumbers in London are trained in multitasking such as kitchens ‘wet pipes, bathrooms' dry pipes, servicing or maintaining boilers and heating systems.

However, the heating engineer London has trained in the heating works and fixings as well as plumbing services. They install and maintain the pipe works, fit and fix them that is used to heat the structure. The heating engineers work in commercial, residential and industrial premises to carry out solutions for heating purpose. They solve problems related to the heating system and are solely the specialists in this line. 

Boiler services or repairs involve dealing with gas. An engineer registered on gas safe can only legally work on gas boilers. The gas industry strictly ensures the safety standards. Only gas safe engineers can be contacted for boiler services.

Plumbers do not need to be legally certified. A plumber can be contacted for any purpose without any kind of formal certifications. They are although highly experienced in adjusting water pipes and water appliances but are not qualified enough to work on a gas boiler.

In a case of heating issues in domestic and commercial capitals, it is preferable to consult a heating engineer than a plumber, as they are much more familiar with such issues.  

A heating engineer installs and repairs:

* Gas boilers
* Fire back boilers
* Electric boilers
* Combination gas boilers

However, a plumber installs and repairs:

* Sinks
* Radiators
* Showers and tower rails
* Toilets
* Macerators
* Kitchen and bathroom taps and outside taps

Boiler Maintenance in London

A regular and strategically maintained of the gas boilers avoid unnecessary breakdown of boilers and costly repairs. Annual maintenance is necessary for the smooth working of the appliances.

Heating engineers' work is riskier as they work with gas boilers and electrical appliances like ovens and boilers. They need special safety facilities to finish the work safely and swimmingly.
However, the work of the plumbers is not that risky. They will end their work with complete ease and safety if they are well trained in their jobs.

Both, heating engineer and plumber can fix the boiler and plumbing problems but who to consult is a vital decision. The operating method of both engineer and plumber is completely different.Therefore, the selection of whom to consult to resolve the matter has to be terribly wise.
