Electrical rewiring services

The rewiring cost depends on the size of the apartment, the accessibility of old wiring, and the number of electrical points (such as light points, sockets, air conditioning points, and water heater points).

Should you rewire your house or apartment?

We are in contact with electrical appliances every day, and having electrical appliances at home is definitely a necessity. Should you rewire the house or apartment you just bought? It might be worth consulting an electrician and having him/her assess the needs. As usual, many electricians will recommend rewiring for safety reasons and to absolve themselves of potential liability in the event of an electrical accident. General guidelines for rewiring your home or apartment that is more than 10 years old then you’ll notice the following signs:

  • Frequent tripping of the mains or circuit breaker;
  • A large number of blown fuses;
  • The socket has a burning smell; and or
  • Discolored sockets and switches.

There is always a choice between taking a risk and saving money or playing it safe Anyone who decides not to rewire must do so at the associated risk.

Rewiring Services by a Licensed Electrician

It is important that a job of this size be done by a licensed, qualified, and experienced electrician. You don’t want to be in a situation where you’re moving into new premises and the wiring isn’t done properly and you discover electrical issues. Correcting wiring after moving into your premises can be a headache. As long as the licensed electrician is reliable and experienced, the price of rewiring (if reasonable) should accrue. Safety is more important than saving a few shillings on rewiring. Our office is able to provide you with affordable electrical installation rewiring quotes. Call us today at 0714445566 or contact us for more information on our Arrowtech electrical and plumbing services website.

tap installation and repair services in Nairobi, Nairobi
taps are one of the most common fixtures in your home, and they’re mostly found in bathtubs, showers, and sinks. Most people take them for granted. However, if you have problems such as leaks, you will need to request a replacement or repair.

Several people have experienced a slow drip tap that can rob your plumbing because it won’t stop no matter what you do.

The dangers of leaking taps

It might not be a big deal if your tap is leaking, but the tap can cause problems under the surface. If the bottom of the tap is leaking, you may not be able to see it, it will rot and soften the wood, and it will also encourage mold growth.

Too much moisture can often lead to mold and mildew that can harm your health. A leaky tap can also increase your water bill, especially if water keeps dripping from the tap but you’ve waited a while to try and fix it.

Common reasons for replacing a tap

As your tap ages, the seals wear out and you can’t keep them from leaking; buying a new tap is a good idea because you’re starting fresh with a fresh look.

Even if your tap is fine, you may want to upgrade your tap design to give your bathroom or kitchen a new look.

Should I try a do-it-yourself approach?

Those who prefer to do it themselves and repair new taps can install and repair new taps, but those who are less confident can rest assured that let us do the job and we will achieve impeccable results. A hobbyist can’t do the installation properly.

Sometimes they don’t seal the tap properly at the sink, they use the wrong tap, or they end up running the opposite way, with cold water coming out of a warm tap and vice versa.

If you think you can install the tap yourself, try it, but make sure to call an expert to make any corrections if necessary. You use the taps in your home every day, and one day they will wear out and need to be replaced or repaired.

Water Tank Installations in Nairobi

Installation and maintenance of cold water storage tanks in Nairobi

Everyone needs a water tank and everyone loves the fact that water is stored for future use. But no one knows: The condition of the reservoir will ultimately affect the quality of the water. Tanks used to be made of galvanized iron or asbestos. This means that people notice some unpleasant changes in the water over time. Today, changing times have led to the production of plastic water tanks, which is why you need a Nairobi Arrowtech plumber to install and maintain your cold water tanks.

Metal tanks and water quality

Also, the types of tanks used in the past were mostly galvanized iron, usually placed in the attic space and not moved during the construction of the house. Over time, these tanks can corrode from constant exposure to sunlight and rain, which can degrade the water stored in them.

A good tanks mean better water quality

Now with plastic tanks, the water quality is less likely to be affected by corrosion. While certain factors can affect the quality of the water, this only happens when the tank is uncovered or the lid is open.

Get a new water tank

Before buying a new tank, you need to consider some important factors to consider when sourcing for a Water Tank Installations in Nairobi. These factors include

  • Tank size (liters)
  • Installation location

The best installation service you can ask for

That’s why at Arrowtech Plumbers Nairobi we provide you with the best team of professionals to install your new tank. You can also install the tank in the perfect location by consulting us with an Arrowtech plumber in Nairobi.

Installation of water tank

Installing a water tank requires surveying the house to get the best water pressure at the outlet. This takes into account specific locations and locations, such as shower heads and faucets, and needs to be done by a professional for good results. For this reason, the previous galvanized water tank was installed in the roof space. Plastic tanks can still be installed in the attic if the attic is large enough to allow the tank to pass through.

It has been found that the location of the storage tank is an important factor that cannot be ignored. There are other factors to consider. they are;

  • The storage tank must be accessible for maintenance and inspection
  • For outdoor installations, UV protection must be ensured
  • Insulation should be in place to protect the tank and all piping from extreme temperatures
  • The area where the tank is installed should be adequately ventilated to maintain air circulation.

At Nairobi Arrowtech Plumbers, we consider all of the above and more when installing tanks. We also carry out routine inspections of water tanks (as per customer request).

Maintenance of the water tank

Deteriorating water quality in the tank means it may be time for a plumbing service. Other signs you may notice that you need to find a plumber are:

  • Warm water flows from the tank
  • Low water turnover, even with too much water in the tank
  • There is no lid on the tank
  • The water in the tank is colored or has a strong smell

Any of the above problems may indicate a problem with the tank. You don’t have to wait for one of these issues to arise before taking action. Call us for a routine inspection of your tank.

Why do I need professional help to check my Water tank?

Checking the water quality is more than just looking at the water coming out of the tank. This includes inspection of the fuel tank itself. If inspection is requested, our services include the following:

  • Clean the water tank (if necessary)

  • Check the position of the cover (if tightened)

Burst Pipe Repair in Nairobi

Nairobi Burst Pipe Repair

A burst pipe can have serious consequences, from flooding your home, and expensive damage to expensive repairs. Don’t let this happen! Call an Arrowtech plumber in Nairobi for a quick response to burst pipe issues. We know how to deal with burst pipes.

What is a broken pipe?

Burst pipes are a common problem in pipes. They mostly occur in cold weather, when the water in the pipes cools and expands. The expansion will force the pipes to burst, and if left unchecked, water can pour out and cause flooding. However, be aware that a pipe burst can happen at any time of the year, including hot seasons.

Therefore, every homeowner needs to keep an eye on their plumbing year-round for any apparent leaks that could be potentially dangerous. Isn’t this very clever?

Arrowtech plumbers in Nairobi handle hidden leaks and pipe replacements across the Nairobi area. We make every effort to keep your pipelines safe and functioning year-round. All you have to do is call us and that’s it.

Causes of Pipe Bursts

The most common cause of a burst pipe is cold water! But there are other reasons:

Aging – This is one of the main reasons why pipes burst! It is often assumed that pipes do not fail, but the fact remains that rust can weaken them over time, especially if they are not maintained. Aging’s close companion is water pressure. Constant water pressure coupled with aging can crack and burst pipes.

Roots – The roots of a tree are always looking for water. So they grow towards any nearby water source. This action triggers a burst pipe, and the damage can be high, especially if the pipe is underground
Poor Installation – Poorly welded pipe joints or weak connections can cause pipes to leak and eventually burst!
Hard water – water containing minerals like magnesium and calcium can corrode pipes and wells, causing leaks
Therefore, it is highly recommended that you maintain your pipes and replace weak or rusted pipes. Many people may not know how to do this, which is why you need a professional plumber like the Nairobi Arrowtech Plumber.

When you hire us as a routine plumbing maintenance engineer, we will provide professional care for your plumbing, from routine inspections to replacing suspected worn plumbing. Our service is very good and affordable.

Pipe Leak Warning Sign

Bursts are usually the result of leaking or worn pipes. Here are the signs of imminent danger:

Wall Stains – These stains may or may not be visible, depending on where the pipes are located. However, if you see stains on the wall near your pipes, chances are your pipes are leaking
Water discoloration – If the water coming out of the faucet is yellow or brown, the water pipe may be rusted
Low water pressure – this one is familiar. Several things can cause water pressure to drop, including hard water mineral buildup and leaking pipes

Have you noticed any of these in your home lately? Hurry up and call a Nairobi Arrowtech plumber now to avoid serious and costly plumbing problems.

Risk of burst pipes in the home or business

The most common risk of burst pipes is flooding and water damage to your property. Depending on where it occurs, you may have water behind your walls, underground, under floors, or even in your living room. Imagine how bad that looks.

Standing water increases the possibility of electric shock and is a safety hazard in itself. It can also be a suitable breeding ground for bacteria and pathogens. immediate action is required
Water tends to spread quickly, so the key to minimizing any harm is to report any suspected or apparent instances of leaking or bursting pipes.

If you have the phone number of a good plumber near you, you can get help as soon as possible.

Arrowtech plumbers in Nairobi are a solid option you can have. We will respond to any 24-hour emergency services as soon as possible. Our level of readiness eliminates any plumbing issues caused by burst pipes.

In the event of a pipe burst, you can try shutting off the water supply to the main (if you know where the shutoff valve is). This will definitely prevent more water from flooding the area before we come.

Pump Installation and Repair Nairobi

Plumbing pump installations and repairs in Nairobi include well pumps, water distribution units, and central heating systems, all of which are part of a home’s overall plumbing process. Gravity is used in many aspects of plumbing systems in a home or industrial facility.

However, the use of pumps helps provide pressure throughout the building. Pumps discharge liquids or gases by various mechanical means. Pump types under this category include:

  • Velocity pumps
  • Positive displacement pumps
  • Impulse pumps
  • Gravity pumps
  • Buoyancy Pumps

As the plumbing system begins to age, the water pressure will decrease. Faucets that are far from the water source can also experience low water pressure. Installing a pump will help improve the above situation in the home. Just like any other plumbing system needs maintenance, your pumping units should also be maintained to keep them running at peak efficiency.

If you need a good plumber in Nairobi to install and maintain your pump, Arrowtech Plumbers Nairobi can help. If you have any questions about your pump, our experienced installers are here to help.

If your pump is out of the manufacturer’s warranty, our specialist plumbers at Arrowtech Plumbers Nairobi can upgrade your pump to save on unnecessary repairs.

Water pump Repair
