By | May 30, 2011

Home extensions can include addition of a kitchen, bathroom, dining area and so on. It is necessary to install plumbing and heating appliances in such home extensions. Many contractors are available who provide the services of plumbing and heating to new and extended homes.

Plumbing Systems:
Plumbing systems are to be arranged for extended kitchens and bathrooms. They include provision of hot and cold water to specific areas required. Also, the used and drained water has to be taken away. For these two purposes lead, copper, and plastic pipes are used. Mostly these days plastic pipes are used because of their flexibility. The size or diameter of the pipes which bring the water in is smaller than those which take water away. Effluent water from toilets is sent out through much larger pipes.

Heating Systems:
Heating installation includes central heating and radiator installation. It is easy to expand and install electrical heating systems such as storage radiators. Electric panel or convector heaters can be added in smaller extensions and are comparatively cheaper. Underfloor heating, boiler installations, and gas appliance connections are also a part of heating system installations. Underfloor heating can provide heat at a faster rate. Also, it is easy to install. Hence, they are much beneficial for extensions.
