Should I choose plastic or copper pipes for my central heating?
Wondering whether you should go for plastic or copper pipes for your central heating system?
Copper pipes have historically been favoured for central heating pipework, but now plastic pipes are becoming popular due to the lower costs.
Both have their pros and cons, but copper tends to be the best choice across the board because of its durability and conductivity.
It's worth getting advice from a professional on the best option for your home. Find a central heating installer near you to chat about your options.
