Metro Plumb (Taunton) are highly qualified in gas, oil and LPG boiler repairs, and we’re here to help you with any issues you may have.

Renewable Energy Specialists

Our expert plumbers can advise you on the best renewable solution for your property, as well as design and install the complete system into your property. Whether it’s a new build property or an existing one which needs retrofitting, we will always advise you on the best possible system for your property.

Some examples of renewable energy and water collection devices that we can provide are:

• Air Source Heat Pumps – Compact, efficient, and capable of heating both hot water and central heating systems, ideal for properties with limited ground space.
• Ground Source Heat Pumps – A reliable option for homes with available ground space, providing efficient heating from geothermal energy.
• Hybrid Heat Pumps – Combining traditional and renewable energy sources for optimal efficiency.
• Solar Thermal Panels – Roof-installed panels to harness solar energy for heating.
• Solid Fuel Burners – Eco-friendly burners that use sustainable fuel sources instead of traditional gas or oil.
• Biofuel Boilers – Boilers powered by renewable oils or gases, reducing environmental impact.
• Biomass Systems – Using organic material for sustainable heating.
• Rainwater Harvesting – Collects rainwater for use around your property, reducing water waste.

These are all methods that can be used to collect heat and/or energy from the natural environment or using natural materials, and each one is designed for a different use or property size. Which one you choose will depend on a variety of different circumstances, and we are happy to assess which is the best method for you.

The most common type that we install in domestic properties are air source heat pumps. This is because they take up less space than ground source heat pumps, they don’t require a manual fuel source and they work in hot and cold temperatures, so they are reliable all year round. They are also able to generate enough heat to run both hot water and central heating systems, whereas other methods may not be powerful enough. However, if you don’t have any ground space to install a heat pump, then we can offer alternative solutions. Roof space can be utilised by installing solar thermal panels. Alternatively, solid fuel burners can be installed inside your property, which run off more eco-friendly fuel sources than traditional gas or oil boilers.

Here are helpful bullet points on what to do in case of a leak before Metro Plumb Taunton arrives:

• Turn Off the Water Supply: Locate your main water shut-off valve and turn it off to prevent further water flow and limit potential damage.
  
• Drain the Pipes: Open nearby taps to drain remaining water from the system, relieving pressure in the pipes and reducing the chance of more leaks.
• Contain the Leak: Use buckets, towels, or rags to catch or absorb leaking water, minimising the spread and protecting floors and furnishings.
  Clear the Area: Move any valuable items or furniture away from the leak to prevent water damage, and ensure the area is safe and accessible for the plumber.
• Turn Off Electrical Supply (if necessary): If water is leaking near electrical outlets or appliances, switch off the electricity to that area to avoid potential hazards.
• Document the Leak: Take photos or notes of the leak’s location and severity, which can be helpful for assessment when the plumber arrives.
• Avoid Using Affected Fixtures: Refrain from using any taps, toilets, or appliances connected to the leaking area until it has been fixed to prevent further issues.
