Biomass boiler: how it works
Biomass boilers are one of the possibilities to heat the house while respecting the environment because they use renewable materials.

To produce thermal energy, these boilers do not use fossil fuels, but renewable resources such as biomass, plant and animal organisms present in a certain environment and in a certain quantity.

Biomass as a renewable source consists of non-polluting organic materials used to produce energy: elements of vegetable origin such as the remains of agricultural or forestry activities, wood, waste deriving from agri-food industries or plant products specifically cultivated to be used as a source of energy.

Advantages and disadvantages of biomass boilers
Today, those who respect the environment, in front of the possibility of installing new heating systems, choose boilers and biomass which, unlike the condensation boiler or the gas or methane boiler , does not produce fumes or harmful substances that can be defined almost zero impact . The only problem is related to the production of particulate, formed by fine dust that is released into the air.

Biomass boilers can be powered by corn, olive pomace, or other natural organic products , and from this point of view, the use of biomass boilers can also improve the socio-economic level. But even here we have to make an argument, that is, agricultural resources are not always easy to find because the crops depend on the conditions relating to the climate and above all they are subject to an annual production that cannot be considered constant.

If you need to install boilers in Rome, ask for a verification and an inspection of the Rome boiler technician who, thanks to a personalized estimate for his needs, will be able to find the most suitable solution at low cost and low energy consumption, allowing you to save costs on your bill . The skilled technician, in fact, will be able to provide you with an assistance service on all brands and models of boiler , even the condensing boiler, including the overhaul and the blue sticker,

Alternative systems for domestic hot water

Plumbing, Tips ,

As time goes by, many habits change but the need to have sanitary hot water (ACS) for personal hygiene and that of our homes remains unchanged . The increase in prices for the supply of energy and traditional fuels leads families to always seek new solutions to optimize costs and consumption.

To meet these needs, different solutions have been developed not only for reduced energy consumption but also for low environmental impact. So let’s see what are the alternative systems for producing domestic hot water.

Alternative systems for producing domestic hot water
Although most families use the gas boiler to produce domestic hot water, today the trend is to use alternative systems. These include heat pumps, thermal solar panels, biomass boilers, natural gas boilers, condensing boilers. Let’s briefly see how these systems differ.

Heat pumps
Heat pumps are one of the most innovative, efficient and environmentally friendly systems for DHW production. There are various types of heat pumps that make it possible to generate accumulations of domestic hot water. Heat pump boilers use a heat exchanger fed by a fluid. The fluid takes heat from a cold source and extracts it by conveying it to the exchanger. Heat pumps save up to 70% of electricity and ensure optimal performance even for air conditioning.

Solar panels
Solar panels exploit the most natural and free source of energy, that of the sun . The panels convey the solar energy to a boiler for the accumulation of sanitary hot water that transmits it to the hydraulic system present in the house. If the accumulated energy is not enough, it is possible to support the panels through the installation of a domestic hot water generator. In order for their operation to be correct, it is important that the panels are mounted with the right direction and inclination.

Pellet boiler and biomass boilers
If it is not possible to install a photovoltaic system, the pellet boiler is another good solution for DHW production. This boiler, in addition to having optimal performance, has high thermal efficiency and is able to guarantee uniform heat throughout the house. Compared to traditional wood-fired boilers, biomass boilers automatically load the fuel supplying superheated water during all hours of the day. These generators require a storage system , as they still do not allow instantaneous preparation of sanitary water. For this reason, the most congenial solution is to combine the biomass generator with a solar thermal system thus further reducing consumption and consequently also costs.

Natural gas boilers for hot water
The natural gas boiler is one of the most common solutions for the production of water for sanitary use and for heating the house. These boilers have low costs and high efficiency.

Condensing boilers
Condensing boilers are becoming more and more popular, replacing the old gas or natural gas boilers, thanks to a system of government incentives and the system that allows a greater quantity of latent heat produced by the fumes to be exploited before they are expelled. Condensing boilers can either be equipped with accumulators or produce hot water instantly.

Hydrogen for DHW plants
The last frontier of domestic hot water production is the hydrogen boiler . Hydro is the first boiler that uses hydrogen present in almost all substances to produce electricity and hot water. Designed and produced entirely in Italy by E.HY. Energy Hydrogen , this boiler is available in various models and can be combined with other hot water and energy production systems ( more information on the site www.idrogenoverde.it ).

How to choose and install alternative systems for ACS
Alternative systems for the production of domestic hot water can replace existing systems in the home or building or be combined with them to improve energy efficiency, reduce consumption and make up for a greater need. The choice therefore varies according to the systems already present and / or the needs.

Today it is possible to benefit from numerous tax deductions for their installation. An experienced plumber will be able to advise which system to choose, in compliance with the existing regulations for their assembly and maintenance.

How to make a plumbing: the choice of pipes how to make plumbing

Plumbing, Tips

For those who are about to buy a new home, for those who are in the process of restructuring or for those who have to make changes to the plant or to the sanitary, here is a brief guide dedicated to the plumbing : how to make a water system up to standard? What are the best tubes to use? Who to call to build the plant?

These and other questions will be answered by the plumber from Rome and the province , a specialized technician with over 20 years of experience in the modification and construction of water systems for bathrooms and kitchens, repaired water pipes and replacement of sanitary ware.

Features of a good plumbing system for the home
A good hydraulic system responds correctly to the legal regulations in force, it must supply drinking water inside the home and must have a correct disposal of light and dark water .

These three characteristics are essential and for this reason we advise you not to carry out DIY work or rely on a friend or an acquaintance. These works must be carried out by the professional technician who is able to issue the work conformity certificate .

The choice of the honest plumber to rely on is therefore the main aspect to consider. If you are looking for a trusted plumber in the province of Rome , contact me immediately for a free quote:

Before starting work, it is also advisable to estimate all the expenses, making sure that you have the best price without foreclosing on the quality of the materials, so as not to have bad surprises and breakdowns, and it is equally important to make sure that a correct one is made over time. plant maintenance and overhaul.

Which pipes to use for plumbing
Copper pipes are recommended because they are resistant and reliable, and tend not to deteriorate over the years. The pipes of the water system are made of plywood, while the PVC pipes are often replaced with those of cross-linked polyethylene, because they resist heat.

Copper has other characteristics: it is a non-toxic material , it is waterproof , it does not overheat, it is recyclable .

PVC and polypropylene pipes resist corrosion, maintain good mechanical properties even at very high temperatures. Both materials are used for pipelines.

Regarding costs, copper is certainly the most expensive material, also because the quality is really very high.

Multilayer pipes for hydraulics
The multilayer is a material that is treated with a specific chemical process capable of making it more resistant to heat and therefore more robust. By means of an intermediate layer of aluminum, it is able to hold the curvature of the pipe. But if we talk about health, we cannot forget that copper is a material of ancient use, not only to create conductor, but also in the food sector, to create containers capable of containing food and drink.

Kitchen plumbing: everything you need to know

Plumbing, Tips ,

The renovation of the kitchen’s hydraulic system, or its implementation from scratch, is a complex activity that requires careful planning and implementation by a specialized plumber .

In this case, DIY could lead to serious problems in the future. Although sometimes the costs may not be low, it is an investment for the future. The choice of drains and pipes rather than of the elements of the plant, in fact, is fundamental for having a functioning kitchen, complete with accessories and appliances connected to the water system, which do not give problems in the long term.

Dishwashers, sinks, garbage disposals and hydraulic hoses that prevent galvanic corrosion are some of the fundamental elements on which to carry out hydraulic works to have a working system. Let’s see them in detail.

Plumbing work required for an optimal kitchen plumbing system
Sink and dishwasher
The plumbing of a kitchen concerns first of all the sink . It requires two delivery pipes, one for hot water and one for cold water , as well as a drain pipe that must be connected to the column with a slope of not less than 1-2%. The pipes, placed in the traditional manner, or leaning against a wall, must emerge from the wall in the empty space placed on the back of the base sink and unloading should be centered.

For those who install the dishwasher : this appliance uses the same drain as the sink but requires an own supply section, fitted with a tap. Not only that, but also between the cold and hot water pipes, and the connections to the dispenser group , you need a tap, this allows you to carry out interventions without having to close the main supply.

Kitchen and oven
As far as the gas cooker and oven are concerned , it is good to know that the rubber tube that connects the hearth to the pipe coming from the mains must be between 40 and 150 cm long . For those who decide to install the built -in hobs , a metal pipe is used that does not require periodic replacement, unlike the rubber ones. In addition to these connections, the Visat plumber , which operates throughout Carlsbad and Vista, is also called to carry out the connections of radiators, gas boilers and air conditioning plumber near me.

Disposal
Some people, instead of the normal waste, it prefers to install the garbage disposal , namely, the food waste disposer which is connected to drain. Its purpose is to shred leftovers by the rotating disk. For normal use, just open the cold water and let the residues flow into the hole. Before installation it is good to know if the sewer system is able to receive the waste, without altering the sludge destined for purification, or in the case of old buildings, without causing damage to the pipes.

What is the cost for renovating the kitchen plumbing system
If you have to do the kitchen plumbing or you have to redo the water systems, the costs can vary greatly based on various factors, including the materials used and the size of the system.

Plumbing system: vintage style without demolition

Blog, Blog, Plumbing, Tips

Plumbing systems need maintenance and when they are old they stop working properly. For this reason it is necessary to understand what to do in order to intervene in the least invasive way and carefully evaluate the methods, times and costs for rebuilding a hydraulic system together with a specialized technician.

A solution that is coming back into fashion and that makes it possible to redo the systems without demolition is the exposed hydraulic system for kitchen or bathroom, in copper or other elegant and vintage materials. Let’s see what it is and what are the most popular styles in Rome and the province.

How to make the plumbing without demolitions?
To understand how to do the plumbing without demolition, you first need to know which methods are used by professionals in the sector.

The new methods of intervention minimize the need for demolitions, excavations, service interruptions and inconveniences that can be perpetrated for a long time, without having to take into account that demolitions and excavations delay intervention times and can also cause other damages.

Plumbing on sight
In recent years, exposed systems have become fashionable again . We must in fact consider that the exposed plumbing in the bathroom or in the kitchen has never definitively gone into “retirement” but over the years has been increasingly improved and perfected, even in appearance, to meet those that they are the needs of aesthetics and design, not only in homes but also in shops, offices, studios. This is a way to deal with architectural constraints that do not allow invasive interventions.

Among the most popular exposed systems there are vintage-style copper ones and visible heating systems , as in these images.

To whom to turn to make an installation with visible pipes
If you need to redo your plumbing and have chosen the type with visible pipes, contact the professional, remember that the systems must be redone following the regulations in force, that the controls are very strict and that only the technician can issue you all the documentation and the related certification and finally remember that the security of your home depends on you who live there.
