Why Do I Need a Commercial Boiler Maintenance Schedule?

A commercial boiler is a big investment for any business, and just like any other capital investment, your boiler is an asset that you need to look after. Whilst most modern boilers are very efficient and reliable, they can still develop problems unexpectedly, and so you need to have a system in place that at least attempts to prevent these problems occurring, but when they do, you have an option to fall back on in an emergency situation.

Just like maintenance schedules for your air conditioning and electrical systems, you should have a programme set up to ensure your boiler is always operating to its maximum capability. This will reduce your running costs, extend the lifecycle of the unit and prevent disruptive and costly downtime.

Why You Need a Commercial Boiler Maintenance Plan

In our view, a maintenance plan and gas safety checks are nothing short of essential. Why would you risk a problem going unseen, and your commercial boiler breaking down and needing emergency repairs, or just failing to operate at its maximum potential, when it can be prevented?

A commercial boiler maintenance schedule can help you to:

• Remember to get regular servicing, rather than waiting for something to go wrong and getting a reactive repair.
• Enjoy peace of mind, knowing that there is a plan in place to keep your boiler working to its full potential and that an accredited professional is checking in on a regular basis.
• Saving money. You can save money on emergency repairs as well as energy bills. A boiler service can help you to ensure that the system is operating to its full potential, and efficiently, so it isn’t burning energy unnecessarily, helping your business.
• A safe environment. You can ensure that your business meets health and safety regulations and that your boiler isn’t causing any hazards within the workplace, such as leaking potentially harmful carbon monoxide.
• Expand the lifespan of the system. Different types of boilers vary in terms of their lifespan, and how much use they get, but servicing and maintenance helps you to spot and prevent issues. A gas boiler service and maintenance is a bit like getting an MOT and service for your car.

Designing a Maintenance Schedule

A boiler is an important piece of equipment to any commercial business. It provides heat and hot water and as such is crucial to an employer in fulfilling their basic duty to provide employees with a safe and comfortable workplace. In an industrial organisation, a boiler providing heated water may even be critical to your key business operations, so it is vital that you have a system in place to keep it running all year round.

At Robinsons Facilities Services we can design a maintenance schedule or an annual boiler service that suits your pricing budget, but also ensures your boiler is getting the attention it requires. Our regular service provides several safety checks, including looking for gas leaks, general condition and signs of wear or irregular burning. We check the gas pressure, gas flow, flue condition and we test the emissions.

We also clean down all internal parts and we can replace any damaged or worn parts with your authority. We leave you with a clean and fully operational unit, ready to tackle the hard months of heating your premises and providing hot water supplies.
