Do I Need a Plumber or a Heating Engineer November 22, 2019 When something goes wrong in your home, whether your boiler breaks down or a pipe bursts, we know you want to get it sorted as quickly as possible. Often this involves calling a plumber, but not all plumbers are qualified in every aspect of repair work. Below we explain the difference between a plumber and a heating engineer, to help you find the right person to carry out work in your home. When do I need a plumber? A plumber provides general repair and installation work on all types of pipes in your home. This means that as well as fixing leaking pipes or fitting new ones, they are also experienced in bathroom and kitchen work, including washing machine plumbing, dishwasher repairs, toilet systems and showers... to name a few! When do I need a heating engineer? If you have a problem with your gas boiler or are thinking of having a new one installed, you should call a heating engineer. A heating engineer has the skills, qualifications and know-how to undertake specialist work on central heating systems, the heart of which is your boiler. Heating engineers should be Gas Safe registered and can carry out tasks including boiler servicing, powerflushing, boiler installation and boiler repairs. Can a heating engineer also be a plumber?
