Why do Chestnut Hill homes often have mixed old and new pipework?
These houses have been improved room by room for over a century, so a renewed kitchen can sit on original galvanized lines and a new bathroom can drain into an old cast iron stack. A plumber maps what is actually there before quoting, rather than assuming the whole house matches its newest room.
How long does an installation take?
In Chestnut Hill, a like for like swap in the same location is usually the quickest kind of job. A new location, fuel change or venting work takes longer.
Do I need a bigger heater for an extension?
In Chestnut Hill, often, yes, if the extension adds a bathroom or laundry. Demand is counted in fixtures and peak use, not floor area.
