FIVE SIGNS THAT YOUR COMMERCIAL BOILER MIGHT NEED REPLACING

Your boiler is a key part of your business, especially if you have a hard working team based in one set office, you need hot water and the heating to work to keep them safe, healthy and happy. But how can you prevent a boiler breakdown and get it replaced before it is able to cause any real damage? Well here are our top 5 signs that mean your boiler could need replacing soon!

Commercial boiler replacement

• Leaks

A leak is never a good thing, but a leak could mean a few different things for your boiler. It all depends on where the leak is coming from. It could be something as simple as a broken seal or poorly fitted pipework (not carried out by us of course!) But this could then lead to rust or corrosion in the long run, and you could even end up with damp or mold problems in your building.

• Kettling

This is the professional term for the whistling noise that comes from your commercial boiler system or even your radiators. No sounds like that should be seen as normal, so it’s something that you need to get checked out straight away. This kettling tends to stem from a build up of sludge and limescale, which can in turn reduce your boiler’s life expectancy massively.

• Flames

A healthy and happy boiler with burn with a blue flame, anything else is a serious cause for concern. Anything other than a blue flame could potentially mean that there is incomplete combustion, which could led to a very real risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

• Maintenance

If you’re finding that your boiler is needing more and more services then that is another red flag that it could need replacing very soon. It might seem the cheaper option to just keep replacing parts but in the long run it would end up working out much more expensive.

• Age

Many boilers are designed and created to last for 10 – 15 years, so if you’re commercial boiler is coming to the end of its life span then it’s time to start thinking about replacing. Even if it seems like there is nothing wrong, a new boiler will actually be more efficient for your business in the long run.
