What’s Involved in a Commercial Boiler Service?

Your business depends on your boiler year-round. As one of the most valuable assets on your commercial property, you need your boiler to run as efficiently, steadily, and as long as possible. To achieve these goals, it is important to schedule professional service for your boiler at least once a year. Doing so will help prevent emergency breakdowns, ensure your system isn’t consuming more energy than necessary, and increase its lifespan.

A standard boiler service includes:

• Visual check – A visual inspection is an important aspect of detecting signs of any type of problem that could be affecting your boiler’s performance. Our technicians will visually inspect the unit, casing, and pipework, as well as the surrounding area. We will also check that the burner flame has a proper appearance – it should have a distinctive blue color.

• Inside inspection – The next part of the process involves opening the boiler and inspecting its internal components and pipework. After ensuring that the gas is shut off, the engineer will inspect several elements for damage, including the burner, heat exchanger, ignition, and seals.

• Unit cleaning – While the unit is open for an inspection, the technician will clean away any dirt and debris that could affect your boiler’s parts.

• Boiler testing – Following an inspection of the exterior and internal components, the engineer will run a series of tests to ensure that the boiler is operating at full capacity and efficiency. This involves testing the gas pressure, checking that there are no blocks or leaks in the flues and air intakes, and ensuring the system is not emitting unsafe emissions.

• System report – After the service, our engineer will issue a report of any issues that were found and provide recommendations for how to resolve them.
