The importance of commercial boiler maintenance

Failed heating systems are bad for business. 

Bad because you no longer have access or can provide essential services to your customers and employees, reducing motivation and, in turn, negatively affecting productivity. 

From heating to hot water, it is an employer's responsibility to keep on top of boiler maintenance and ensure that these are safe and in good working order.

Business boiler repairs

For businesses, having a reliable heating and hot water supply can be non-negotiable. 

We get it. 

You want and also need to maintain a comfortable work environment, and you also have a duty of care toward your employees. 

This means opting for regular maintenance on your boiler systems is the best solution to incorporate into your facilities management. 

Preventing the chance of breakdowns (which can be hugely disruptive to your business, and emergency repairs also cost more), trained engineers can regularly check your boiler, inspecting and repairing any issues before they become something more. 

Saving you time and money in the long run, as you avoid downtime and the stress of the inconvenience of a broken boiler. 

Benefits of boiler servicing

Hot water and heating are essential, especially in the winter months, to keep your business operational. 

The good news is that with regular boiler maintenance and servicing (carried out by a professional commercial gas engineer), you can maintain your boiler's efficiency and high levels of performance, all while reducing the cost of your energy bills. 

Some of the most notable commercial boiler benefits include: 

Problems are detected earlier – spotting problems earlier and putting in place immediate preventative measures stops things from escalating and becoming more costly problems later. It also minimises the risk of further damage and potential downtime for your boiler, guarding against breakdowns and hence expensive repairs. 

Maintain safety levels – this is essential for business, as you, as the employer, have a duty to keep employees and customers safe on your premises at all times. 

Meets compliance regulations – there are stringent rules governing boiler maintenance and management that all businesses must adhere to. Working with a professional and certified gas engineer can provide you with peace of mind that your boilers are safe and fit for purpose. They can also help keep your warranty valid and provide up-to-date certificates to meet your legal obligations and requirements. 

Improves productivity – as employees are comfortable within their work surroundings and have the bare essentials of hot water and heating, this can positively affect productivity, boost wellbeing, and improve motivation. 

Improves efficiency – regular servicing and maintenance can help to improve your boiler's performance and efficiency levels, leading to cost savings for you as less fuel is being consumed. 

Extends the life of your boiler – boiler replacements are costly, and no one wants to go down this road if they can avoid it. Regular maintenance and professional servicing of your boiler can extend its working life and prevent costly replacements. 

Commercial boiler service tips

Regularly carry out a visual inspection of the boiler and surrounding systems. Are there any obvious signs of fault or leaks on the outer pipework or boiler system? Is the boiler making a strange noise? 

Make sure to inspect the flue, check that the system pressure is within the normal range, and that all safety components are intact. 

Take regular readings and ensure they align with expectations. 

Check the boiler's ignition and flame – have you noticed any differences? 

Keep your boiler clean and free from dust and debris, as both can significantly impact its performance and efficiency. 

Carry out regular testing, where you can check that the burners are fully operating, the boiler pressure is optimised, and the seals surrounding the boiler are all fully bonded. 

It's important that you introduce a suitable service and maintenance schedule to help you keep on top of your boiler systems and requirements.
