Installation & Repair of Plumbing Fixtures

Water Supply & Distribution Piping

The water distribution system in your home is more important and complex than it first appears. Properly sized and installed systems deliver clean pure water. Improperly sized water distribution piping will cause pressure fluctuations at the faucets and fixtures. In some situations, this will not be noticed, however if you have been in the shower when someone flushes the toilet or starts the clothes washer and the shower turns to a dribble of water your water piping was probably not sized correctly. Call Bow Plumbing & Heating to have your problems solved. Bow Plumbing & Heating employs plumbers that have completed an apprenticeship of four years class room education alongside four years of field training. Qualifying them to take the State of New Hampshire’s Journeyman plumbing test. After that and another six months of field training to qualify to take the State of New Hampshire’s Master plumbers’ test. All of the Plumbers that have passed these tests are also required to attend yearly continuing education classes to renew their license. This is how we ensure the safety and comfort of our customers. The Bow Plumbing & Heating Team has provided unexcelled service to our customers since 1960. We have both the experience and knowledge to keep your family comfortable and safe. Bow Plumbing features Wirsbo/Uponor aqua-pex pipe for all of our new installations. Our employees are all Wirsbo certified installers allowing us to offer a 25-year manufacturer warranty on all of the Wirsbo water distribution products that we install.

Bow Plumbing features the complete line of State Industries gas fired and electric water heaters from the standard State Industries six-year warrantee to the State Industries Select 10-year warranty. From six gallon capacity to 120 gallon capacity, State Industries has the products to cover your needs. See the state industries link under residential hot water our products page. We have selected the Super-Stor line of indirect fired water heaters manufactured by Heat Transfer as our premium line, with a lifetime tank warrantee and their time-tested design this line is the best of the best. See link under residential hot water on our products page. We also feature both Noritz and Rinnai on demand type water heaters. New technology is a great thing but be very careful when selecting an on-demand heater. In this geographic region the ambient water temperature is approximately 45 degrees and requires a boost in temperature of at least 85 degrees to provide 130-degree water at the faucets. When you check the graphs of other manufacturer’s pay particular attention to the gpm (gallons per minute) rate as it relates to the temperature rise of 85 degrees that is required. See the Noritz and Rinnai links on our residential hot water products page We feature the Bock line of oil-fired heaters. With Beckett AFG oil burners, Bock has a winning combination. See link on our products page. We install all of our water heaters with pressure/temperature safety valves, new full port ball valves and thermostatic safety mixing valves to protect against scalding. Thermal expansion tanks are installed where required by system piping, local codes or manufacturer’s installation instructions. We also remove and take your old leaker with us when the installation is completed. Our first choices for high efficiency forced hot water boilers are US Boiler company, and New Yorker Boiler Company. With the cost of energy rising and the Federal and Local tax incentives and rebates that are available this is an affordable option in most locations. See the US Boiler and New Yorker links under heating & cooling on our products page

Water Pumps, Tanks and Systems

Along with the water distribution system, the drain waste and vent system in your home is more important and complex than it first appears. A properly sized and installed drain, waste and vent system removes the water borne waste from your home to a point of disposal with no moving parts. They protect your family from contaminants and the methane gas (sewer smell) that is a byproduct of bacterial action within the system. They keep your family safe from the diseases that plague most undeveloped nations (cholera, typhoid, polio, meningitis, and hepatitis) to name a few.
