Annual Preventative Maintenance Checklist For Commercial Boiler Systems
Commercial boiler systems are one of the hardest working
systems, whether in apartment buildings, hotels, resorts or office buildings.
As any facilities manager knows, there are few things that are as critical as
ensuring that downtime for this system is minimized and that it’s performing at
its most effective and most energy-efficient levels. The key to achieving this is
following a comprehensive preventative maintenance and boiler service
strategy. Here is a checklist to keep your boiler system in top condition,
from commercial HVAC contractors in NJ.
Why Service Your Commercial Boiler System?
First of all, it’s important to look at why commercial
boiler systems need annual maintenance:
Legal:
Commercial boiler systems are powerful and, if they are not
in good repair, it can be dangerous to staff, guests, and tenants. As a result, it
is essential that all commercial boiler systems are kept legally compliant by
following preventative maintenance guidelines set out by the manufacturer.
Energy Efficiency:
These systems account for a significant proportion of your
building’s energy usage. When systems are not serviced or kept in good repair,
they start to use more fuel to deliver the correct amount of heating, which
leads to increased costs.
Damage Prevention:
When commercial boiler systems aren’t regularly serviced,
it’s easy for small problems to go unnoticed. That is until they become major
issues that cause not only downtime and complaints but that are also costly to
repair.
Your Commercial Boiler System Checklist
When performing a boiler service, your commercial HVAC
contractor can perform the following:
A Visual Check:
Ensuring that there are no leaks, that the unit, casing,
pipework and surrounding are in good condition and compliant.
Combustion Check:
The boiler flame can reveal issues with the system. It
should be steady and blue in color. A yellow or red flame can indicate
incomplete combustion (which results in the release of carbon monoxide), while
a stuttering flame could indicate a blockage in the pipes, for example.
A Unit Inspection:
This involves opening the unit and inspecting each component,
including the filters, safety valves, seals, and the heat exchanger. The unit
will also be cleaned of sediment and scale.
Comprehensive Testing:
The technician will run tests on the system and its
components to ensure everything is in working order and is running efficiently.
This includes checking for even burn, correct gas pressure, checking the flues,
and testing the header. They will also bleed air from the system to ensure
optimal efficiency. Any new or repaired components will be tested thoroughly
for safety and performance.
