Somerset Heat Pump & Solar Guide

Plumber, Gas Engineer, or Next-Generation Heating Engineer - What’s the Difference?

Not all heating professionals do the same job. A plumber focuses on water, pipework, and bathrooms. A gas engineer is trained and certified to work safely on gas appliances like boilers. A next-generation heating engineer goes a step further. They understand traditional heating systems but also specialise in modern, low-carbon technologies like heat pumps, solar energy, smart controls, and energy efficiency. It’s a broader skillset designed for how homes in Taunton are heated now, and how they’ll be heated in the future.

Our Taunton plumbers specialise in installing, repairing, and maintaining plumbing systems.
They are trained to work with water supply, central heating systems and can install and repair various plumbing fixtures. 
It is worth noting that nowadays, plumbers do not typically deal with gas work, as this task is handled by a registered gas engineer who is trained and qualified to work with gas appliances and systems. 
So, while a plumber can handle most plumbing-related tasks, gas work is best left to a gas engineer.
Our Taunton gas heating engineers ensure that gas heating systems are installed, maintained, and repaired safely and efficiently. 
They have a thorough understanding of gas safety regulations and can diagnose and fix any gas-related issues that arise. 
Our gas engineers mainly deal with new boiler installations and services and can conduct gas safety checks for landlords.
In addition, they are responsible for advising and guiding homeowners on the best ways to keep their gas heating systems running smoothly.
Even though their primary responsibility is to ensure safety, they can occasionally deal with minor plumbing work, too.

Heating engineering is an ever-evolving field that is constantly advancing with new technologies and innovations. In recent years, the industry has significantly shifted towards more sustainable and eco-friendly heating systems. As a result, today’s heating engineers can possess a wide range of skills and knowledge to meet the demands of modern heating systems. The next generation of heating engineers must should be well-versed in the latest heating technologies, including renewable energy systems such as solar panels, ground source and air source heat pumps. In addition, they should be knowledgeable about smart home controls and be able to integrate these systems into heating systems to ensure maximum efficiency and energy savings.

Magnetic filters, are they worth it?

Did you know? A high proportion of boilers that fail in the first year do so because of poor water quality, by introducing a proper system cleaning method and the installation of an in-line magnetic system filter, we can significantly improve the efficiency and life expectancy of every households heating system. This represents a massive potential to contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions.

How to top up the pressure on my Worcester Bosch boiler 

How to top up the pressure on my Worcester Bosch boiler

A lot of boiler callouts are caused by low pressure, and most of the time, it’s a quick DIY fix. If you’ve got a Worcester Bosch combi boiler, keeping the pressure between 1–1.5 bar helps your system run smoothly.

A simple top-up using the filling loop can prevent breakdowns and keep your heating working as it should. Just another small job that makes a big difference.

Lets show you how to bleed a radiator!

If your radiators feel cold at the top but warm at the bottom, it could be trapped air, not a faulty boiler. A quick bleed with a radiator key can release the air and restore proper heat circulation.

It’s a simple fix that helps your heating work more efficiently and keeps your home cosy without wasting energy.

How to top up your Ideal boiler pressure

If your boiler stops working and you have no heating or hot water, the first thing to check is the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler as the boiler will stop working if the pressure goes to low. This simple top up your boiler pressure video could save you money, as the video shows it takes seconds and really can be done easily by yourself or a neighbour.

FAQ

Plumbing Questions from Taunton Folk

Here are some of the things we’re most often asked by customers across Taunton. If you’re still not sure about something, just give us a ring, we’re always happy to help.

Plumbers are not typically trained to handle boiler-related issues as they involve gas work. It’s best to call a qualified heating engineer to diagnose and repair boiler problems safely and effectively. 

We mainly offer boiler and central heating installations, including radiator installations, power flushing of the central heating system, magnetic filter installations, unvented hot water tanks, and underfloor heating installations.

A magnetic filter is a device that is installed in a central heating system to remove any rust and other debris from the circulating water. The filter uses a magnet to attract and trap the debris, preventing it from passing through the heating system and causing blockages. By removing these contaminants, the magnetic filter helps to increase the heating system’s efficiency, reduce the risk of breakdowns, and prolong the system’s life. 
It is a very simple and easy process, we will send you a email link via GoCardless, it will ask you for your details such as name and address, bank account number and sort code, then click the button to confirm. All you data is secured by GoCardless and all your information is protected on our systems as per current GDPR guidelines.
One common cause is a buildup of sludge or debris in the heating system, which can block the flow of hot water to certain parts of the radiator. This can result in cold spots on the radiator, even when the heating is on. Another cause could be air trapped inside the radiator or the heating system, preventing hot water from circulating properly. It’s also possible that the radiator valve is faulty or needs to be replaced.
One common reason is air trapped inside the radiator, which prevents hot water from circulating properly. Another reason could be a malfunctioning radiator valve, which can cause uneven heat distribution. Additionally, if your boiler is not powerful enough to heat all the radiators in your home, some radiators may be hotter than others.
Both plumbers and gas engineers work with piping systems, but their specialisations differ. Plumbers focus on installing, maintaining, and repairing water supply and drainage systems. At the same time, gas engineers specialise in the safe installation, maintenance, and repair of gas appliances such as boilers and central heating systems.

A power flush, also known as a system flush, cleans a central heating system. It involves pumping water and cleaning chemicals through the system at high velocity to remove debris, rust, and other contaminants that can build up over time. The process helps improve the heating system’s efficiency and can prevent breakdowns caused by blockages in the pipes. It is usually recommended to have a power flush done if you notice issues with your heating system, such as cold spots on radiators, unusual noises, or reduced heat output.

An inhibitor is a chemical added to a central heating system to protect the pipes and radiators from corrosion. The inhibitor creates a protective layer on the metal surfaces inside the heating system, which prevents oxygen from reacting with the metal and causing rust. 

Yes, a leak on your radiator can cause pressure loss in your boiler. When there is a leak in the heating system, water will escape from the system, causing the pressure to drop. This can lead to a drop in pressure in the boiler, which can cause the boiler to shut down or fail to operate efficiently.

If your radiators are cold at the top and hot at the bottom, it could indicate trapped air inside the heating system. When air gets trapped inside the radiator, it rises to the top, preventing hot water from flowing through the top. 
Another possible cause could be a buildup of sludge or debris in the heating system, which can block the hot water from circulating properly.

Our engineers will take a sample of the heating system water to check if corrosion is present, this will help prevent any future issues with the heating system. If we find the system to have signs of corrosion, we will advise the best method to rectify the issue. We offer heating system flush and inline magnetic filters to prevent this issue. If you would like further information, please check our website blogs to explain this in more detail.
