Don’t let the frost bite your pipe

The cold weather effects more than your heating bills and toes - frozen pipes are a big issue when the frost strikes if not maintained or protected.

Rest assured, there are simple ways to deal with this dreaded issue and we are going to bring you up to speed! 

Tips to avoid the big freeze

·         Use a Glycol Tolerant Heating system

·         Keep the heating on at a constant temperature

·         Insulate pipes where possible

Using a Glycol tolerant system does not affect the accuracy of the heating system or meter readings, there is one main range of Glycol tolerant heat meters on the market which is the Sontex Superstatic ranges, capable of being used with over 100 different types of Glycol
