Top Ways To Extend The Life Of Your Commercial Boiler

Caledonian Heating • 14 December 2023

Every business depends on the proper management of a commercial property, whether this is a large factory, a block of offices or a comprehensive storage facility. Each of these buildings will demand a professional degree of attention directed towards its plumbing, electrical works, heating and surrounding grounds in order to ensure that everything is properly maintained at all times.


An essential part of any commercial building is its heating system, where an industrial boiler will need to be thoroughly taken care of to ensure that it will last for its full lifespan. This can be achieved by maintaining your boiler and surrounding heating system in the correct way - read on to find out more about how to keep your boiler in top condition for as long as possible.



Clean Thoroughly

One of the best ways to take care of your boiler is to ensure that it is properly cleaned. Descaling and removing hard water deposits can help to keep your boiler tubes fully functional, whilst keeping the boiler vent and flue clear is also essential. These cleaning tasks can be managed using appropriate brushes and chemicals, where you should enlist professional help if you feel this job is beyond the scope of your maintenance team.


Conduct Regular Inspections

Regular boiler checks are also essential to ensure that your system is in good working order, where this can allow you to locate problems and have them resolved before they develop into a bigger issue. These inspections can involve checking for leaks, removing obstructions in the surrounding area, checking the boiler temperature and listening for unusual noises or vibrations.


Maintain In Summer

It can be easy to forget all about your boiler in the warm summer months, but this kind of neglect can lead to problems once the weather turns cold, shortening the lifespan of your heating system. Switching your boiler on for short intervals throughout the summer can help to prevent any problems that may occur from underuse.


Book A Professional Survey

It is important to ensure that your boiler receives a professional inspection, survey or service at least once a year, perhaps biannually if your gas engineer recommends this. Scheduling a survey will ensure that an expert takes a good look at your system and can carry out preventative maintenance as and when it’s required.
