Keep Small Problems Small
Even when your boiler appears to be working fine, you may have problems with it starting and working as it should do in the background. Our engineers specialise in commercial boilers and heating systems and have the training and expertise to identify small problems and fix them before they become bigger and more costly problems, as well as causing disruption in your business,
For example, a commercial heating engineer will be able to spot when a boiler has a small leak or low pressure whilst they are doing their servicing checks. This could be you have a leaky seal or a failing component which your engineer will identify and fix before it causes you a problem and your boiler completely malfunctions.
It’s really easy to forget your boiler in the summer months and to let these small issues slide. Calling and arranging for a BPS engineer to come out and regularly service your commercial boiler will help you avoid bigger problems down the line and in the colder months. Furthermore, our engineers understand boiler maintenance and are able to give you boiler servicing tips that will help you keep your boiler healthy throughout the summer and winter months.
Avoid Replacing Your Boiler
While boilers cost a great deal of money, servicing your boiler cost less. One of the biggest boiler servicing advantages lies in avoiding replacing your entire boiler before you should have to. As you look at the cost of having a basic service call once a year, consider the cost of a new boiler, and you will see the advantages.
Furthermore, when you have your boiler regularly checked and maintained by a professional heating engineer, you can rest easy knowing you have a professional following your boiler servicing guide. They go through a list of checks and inspect your boiler thoroughly, ultimately waylaying you having to buy a new boiler and keeping it within its warranty for as long as possible.
Save Money On Energy Bills
Not only will you save the cost of purchasing a new boiler when you have your boiler serviced regularly, but you will save on your businesses energy costs as well.
A commercial boiler engineer will look at your boiler inside and out and will ensure it is running properly. This kind of thorough maintenance will save you money in the end because your engineer will make sure your boiler is running as efficiently as possible, reducing your energy costs.
Your commercial boiler engineer will clean out any deposits and dirt that have built up inside your boiler. This ensures its internal combustion area can run cleanly, free of the debris that could hinder heat transfer. As a result, your boiler will ignite easily and burn safely and efficiently for you.
Ultimately, the amount of energy your boiler requires depends on its age and model, however, our engineers will maximise its efficiency, whatever model you currently have.
Prevent Dangerous Accidents
Experts estimate that approximately 200 people attend hospitals every year with carbon monoxide poisoning. Proper boiler servicing by a qualified and certified heating engineer will provide you with an efficient-running boiler and a safer environment.
Carbon monoxide poisoning often affects individuals before they even identify the problem and this is why it is known as the silent killer. Carbon monoxide is invisible and odourless and a small leak over a short time can seriously affect your health. Symptoms include headaches, nausea, dizziness, and breathlessness.
In short, carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms mimic the symptoms of many other conditions. As a result, many individuals do not know they’re sick from carbon monoxide poisoning until they eventually collapse from a lack of oxygen.
When you have your boiler serviced regularly, you safeguard your business from silent accidents and keep your boiler running safely, sound in the knowledge your team and customers are safe.
LPG Boiler Warranty
If your boiler has a warranty, you need to ensure it is serviced by a suitably qualified engineer annually to keep it within its warranty and ensure it is not void..
If you do not have your boiler serviced it will normally void your warranty and if it breaks down, the warranty company will deny your claim for its repair, replacement parts and or replacement. The cost of annual servicing is nothing in comparison to a breakdown, parts and or replacement. Always read your warranty carefully to see if it requires annual servicing.
Legal Boiler Servicing Requirements
UK law requires businesses and landlords to service boilers annually to ensure they are running safely. The Landlord and Tenant Act of 1985 require landlords to keep utilities in good repair and working order. The act states that an annual gas safety check has to be conducted by a registered engineer. You must keep copies of these checks, and they must be supplied to tenants at the beginning of each tenancy. Copies of the gas safety check record must be kept for at least two years.
This means all water, gas, waste, and electrical systems need regular maintenance.
Thus, if you’re a landlord or business owner, you must have all gas appliances checked annually. This includes boilers, gas stoves, and any other gas appliances. Thus a basic boiler service and maintenance will not only save you money but will keep your business and the people within it safe and you will be in compliance with the law.
