A: During an industrial boiler maintenance appointment, a Gas Safe-registered engineer will start by removing the front casing of the boiler to inspect the parts inside. Not only will pipework and seals be examined, but the pressure and the boiler flue will also be checked. The burner and heat exchanger will be cleaned if there is a dirt buildup, as this can affect the efficiency of the boiler. The expansion vessel will also be tested to ensure that the system has a suitable pressure level; the engineer will listen out for any strange noises.

A: Any unusual noises – such as clunking, ticking or whirring – are all signs that your commercial boiler could need repair or maintenance work. If you also find that your energy bills are increasing for no apparent reason, this could be an indication that your boiler is becoming less efficient and needs to be inspected. Regardless of whether anything is obviously wrong or not, your boiler should nonetheless be serviced once a year to ensure that there aren’t any underlying issues that you don’t know about.

It helps remove sediment, debris, and harmful bacteria that can accumulate over time, improving the overall quality and safety of your water supply. Keeping the tank clean also prevents unpleasant tastes and odours, ensuring water remains fresh. Additionally, regular cleaning reduces the risk of corrosion and blockages within the system, which can prolong the lifespan of your water tanks and avoid costly repairs.

A: The length of a Legionella risk assessment depends on the size and complexity of the water system being inspected. Typically, the assessment involves a thorough site survey to identify potential hazards, followed by an evaluation of the risks associated with the water system. For smaller properties, this process can take a few hours, while larger or more complex systems may require a full day or longer. Caledonian Heating & Plumbing Ltd ensures each assessment is detailed and compliant with health and safety regulations.
