How Your Site Is Assessed For A Heating Installation

Caledonian Heating • 14 December 2023

Heating has revolutionised the way we make use of our indoor spaces, where a system of radiators, boilers and pipework function in tandem to facilitate comfortable living conditions all year round. This is as important for commercial buildings as it is for our domestic abodes, due to the fact that a tolerable temperature is essential for productive working conditions.


It is the job of a heating engineer to ensure that your workplace is properly fitted with temperature control technology. These professionals will typically conduct a survey or assessment of your site to determine the kind of installation that will be most suitable - read on to find out more about what this assessment process tends to involve.



Existing Infrastructure

One of the main aspects of a heating assessment involves a comprehensive survey of your existing infrastructure. This includes taking note of your current boiler installation as well as the quality of your pipes, ducts and cables, in order to assess if they are suitable for a new system or if you will need a complete replacement.


Business Requirements

Your heating engineer will also assess the various requirements of your business when it comes to temperature controls. This will include gaining an understanding of the size and scale of your property, as well as how your heating and cooling needs will change throughout the seasons. Your assessor will also note whether your property is shut at certain times of day or at particular times over the year, where your heating needs can be adjusted accordingly.


Risk Assessment

Conducting a thorough risk assessment is also an essential part of a heating survey, where this will allow your engineer to draw up an overview of potential risk factors or roadblocks. This may include possible hazards that could arise from removing old equipment, or likely disruption that might be caused to the daily operations of your business whilst the new system is fitted.


Cost Estimates

During an assessment for your new heating system, a professional installation team will also be able to provide you with a detailed estimate concerning how much the new equipment will cost. This will include the cost of materials and labour, as well as a range of installation options offered at different price points, allowing you to select the best plan for your budget.
