Hot Water Tank Problems Common in Plymouth
Plymouth's unique coastal environment and housing stock create specific challenges for hot water systems. Here's how we address them:
How It Works
Salt Air Corrosion
Plymouth's coastal location means salt air accelerates tank corrosion. We install marine-grade coatings and sacrificial anodes to protect your investment for 15+ years.
Hard Water Damage
Devon's limestone geology creates hard water that clogs systems and reduces efficiency. Our installations include water softening solutions and descaling services.
Older Property Integration
Victorian and Edwardian properties need careful system sizing and routing. We specialise in sympathetic installations that work with your property's character.
Energy Efficiency
Plymouth's moderate climate allows for optimised system sizing. We design systems that minimise running costs whilst ensuring reliable hot water year-round.
