Which may be reasonable in some situations, but not when the problem could result in staggeringly expensive repairs. The threat of frozen condensate overflow pipes is clearly a serious issue especially if your charge is maintaining social housing. Current workarounds are not only labour-intensive and expensive, they are extremely disruptive to tenants who are saddled with emptying buckets of water until the overflow thaws. At SHS, we have developed an ingenious, cost-effective solution to completely eliminate the recurring problem of frozen pipes. In contrast to tearing up the house to put the overflow into a stack, digging a soak-away or running an external heating device on the overflow, our solution places an acidic proof heating element inside the condensate pipe. The kit comes complete with heater element, terminated flex and “T” piece with compression gland for quick and easy installation and can be powered either by the boiler or direct from the mains. Once in place and energised, the heating element will sense the external ambient temperature and adjust its thermal out-put accordingly thereby preventing any chance of the water channel from freezing within. The kits are available in the following lengths: 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, 5m, 6m and 7m - greater lengths available on request. If you would like to avoid budgeting for potential calamities year on year and would like further information on our solution, please contact us today and take the proactive approach.
