Affordable Plumbing Solutions

Affordable Plumbing Solutions That Work

Most people do not realise how important plumbing is, until they are faced a problem. When a plumbing problem occurs, usually one needs to fix it quickly, as this is not something that can be left, especially when you have a burst geyser or pipe. Finding a reliable plumbing company can be challenging, as there are several companies that either take advantage or produce poor quality materials, and then there are companies that over charge.

There are, however, means and ways of preventing such disasters by simply planning in advance and locating a good plumbing company before a crisis takes place. If you are looking for affordable plumbing solutions, the best way to find a good plumber is by word of mouth. Another way to find on is by doing a search online.

By searching online you won’t only find a good plumber, but you also have the option to read all the comments previous customers have submitted, which will give you a good indication if the company is registered, and if they are qualified and professional. Avoid companies that receive or charge a commission, as many companies are out to make a quick buck and will charge you far more.

The market for bathroom units has grown exponentially due to the overwhelming demand, and to date over twenty thousand units have been installed throughout South Africa.

This brand provides affordable plumbing solutions due to the superior quality and aesthetics, and requires no wet trade for installation.

FREE STANDING KITCHEN UNITS – STYLE AND EASY INSTALLATION

When kitchen remodelling becomes a necessity then the homeowner is faced with some serious choices as to the units that he or she wishes to install, as well as the finishes that are selected to transform the kitchen into an accurate reflection of the homeowner’s style and pride in their home. One of the easiest ways to reinvent the kitchen space is to install free standing kitchen units. These free standing units allow the kitchen fittings to be installed in a very short space of time and with minimal disruption to the normal functioning of the household.

The free standing kitchen units are available to homeowners in a variety of different finishes which allow the house and its proud owner, the opportunity to explore their creative side.

The homeowner that purchases free standing kitchen units is free to select from a wide variety of different units in order to design a kitchen solution that suits both the space available and their own individual style. The ability to select from the vast number of different types and configuration of free standing kitchen units makes these units suitable for installation in a variety of different types of kitchen. Owners of smaller kitchens can mix and match the various units to provide both functionality and space to explore their inner chef.

 

EASY TO MAINTAIN VERSATILE KITCHEN SOLUTIONS

 

Many of the base units that are available as free standing kitchen units have a Formica top. The smooth finish of Formica allows for easy cleaning and can serve as an extra space for the hygienic preparation of a number of food items. In smaller kitchens the availability of a Formica top can greatly assist the homeowner in making the best use of the space available. Formica is also extremely easy to clean and water resistant, making it one of the most versatile kitchen solutions featuring a multi use surface.

The free standing kitchen units which are part of the modern kitchen solutions feature a number of different types of cupboard solutions, including grocery cupboards and nook units that can transform any kitchen.

KWIKOT GEYSERS – GET A REBATE WITH KWIKOT GEYSERS

In these cash strapped times any way that homeowners can save money of their monthly bills will be welcomed. One of the easiest ways to make your cash go further is to improve the efficiency of your home geyser. There are a number of manufacturers, including Kwikot Geysers that manufacture geysers that are designed to use less electricity than traditional models but still make hot water available at the turn of a tap.

Any homeowner who chooses to purchase one of these highly effective geysers will also be able to enjoy a rebate from Eskom that rewards the homeowner for their decision to purchase a high efficiency geyser solution. The geysers that qualify for Eskom rebates are powered by solar energy and place much less strain on the national electricity grid. By relying on solar power these geysers can save the homeowner significant amounts of money on their monthly electricity bill.

These Kwikot geysers can be installed in most locations in South Africa where the water quality is food. They are not suitable for areas where the mains water supply contains more than 600ppm of total dissolved solids or minerals. If your home relies of water supplied via a borehole you will need to contact Kwikot to find out whether one of these low pressure solar powered geysers can be used. If you have a solar geyser already fitted Kwikot can also supply any spares that you require, such as vacuum tubes to keep the solar geyser up and running.

By fitting a water heater that relies on solar power to heat water for household use, the homeowner is not only protecting his wallet, but also protecting the environment as well. The less electricity homes use to heat water in geysers the less coal that is consumed in South Africa. Coal is a non renewable resource that is highly polluting and by fitting a solar geyser the homeowner is going beyond the call of duty to protect this country’s precious flora and fauna.

Aside from reducing the amount of coal used in South Africa a Kwikot geyser will also reduce the amount of harmful emissions that are produced by coal fired power stations. The effects of burning coal can be seen during winter months when a haze hangs over many of the cities in South Africa. For this reason the solar powered geysers supplied by Kwikot are not only kinder to the natural environment but also kinder to the lungs of the many people in South Africa who live in the urban areas of the country.

 

PLUMBING SOLUTIONS FROM KWIKOT

 

Kwikot also supplies a number of other types of plumbing solutions and geysers that are suitable for use in most homes. The company provides plumbing solutions based on dual electric water heaters which are extremely tough and durable. These heaters can stand up to anything that the South African climate can throw at them. These Kwikot geysers can also be fitted with elements that make then resistant to the effects of operating in environments where hard water can affect the performance of other types of water heaters.

MINI KITCHENS FOR SPACE AND COST SAVINGS

The benefits of mini kitchens cannot be overstated. Whether you want to install a complete kitchen unit, simply want a sink, dry board and cupboard or want such with a fridge and top stove, you will appreciate the compact designs available from GEZA.

Apart from space savings, the costs normally involved with installation of a stove of which perhaps only two plates will be used, in addition to a large fridge, which is almost never completely full, as well as sink, can be cut in halve by simply thinking economical.

For a granny flat, bachelor pad, retirement village home, low cost housing or student apartment, one hardly needs bulky fridges and stoves. The idea is to rather have a larger living space or room and with the installation of a mini kitchen one can attain such.

Another benefit of the mini kitchen not to be overlooked is that of easy installation. With no wet trades needed because the stove is a simple plug in or gas two plate top stove and the fridge fits neatly underneath the cupboard top, one can also save a lot of money regarding installation expertise.

 

COMBINATION SETS

 

We recognize the importance of choice. Not everyone needs a full set with a fridge, cupboard, stove, sink, and dry board. You may need only the sink and cupboard unit or perhaps a double basin unit. As such we have various types and finishes to select from.

The cupboard features two shelves of which the top one is adjustable. It comes with the standard trap, waste and plug.

 

STEEL SINK

 

If you are looking for a space saving mini kitchen unit then the steel version with the same features as the melamine sink should be the first choice. Instead of the adjustable shelve and hinged doors it comes with two fixed height shelves and steel sliding doors.

 

DOUBLE SINK UNIT

 

If you need more shelving space and want the luxury of two sinks and draining boards, the white double bowl combination set with a swivel mixer that has a goose neck spout and three cupboard doors with handles, and two shelves of which the top one is adjustable, will be the best solution.
