Boiler Servicing And What Are Its Benefits

Boiler servicing should be done on a regular basis to ensure that it is operating efficiently and security. The service must be accomplished by an experienced and qualified service technician or a service expert. Yearly boiler safety test and boiler servicing that is done by an expert service engineer guarantees that the boiler is working properly and safely. Customary servicing of the boiler is very significant as it guarantees the boiler’s perfect working to the terms designed by particular manufacturer. This won’t only help to extent the boiler’s life but even lessen the dangers of malfunctioning and costly repairs.

The effectiveness of the boilers, both gas and oil, weakens with the use and there’re many reasons of this. Production of soot from combustion process covers the surface of the heat exchanger and the crucial air-fuel combustion percentage alters due to continuing component wear are the main causes. Boiler servicing will eliminate any scooting and by proper adjustment, will be re-established the best combustion conditions.

Not only this, but there are extra important advantages of boiler servicing. By inspecting the security controls, before time failures could be witnessed and repaired in time before any major problem arises. Varieties of operational components and systems will be inspected including gas or oil leaks, activation performance of the boiler, noises, which render an early signal of component failures. Leaks, stress fractures, corrosion and rust result in a constant need for renovation or substitution.

Just like any car, boilers are also able to operate for several years without any servicing but usually with the fuel consumption many problems arise which needs to be checked and serviced time to time to avoid any major issues. Most boiler manufacturers recommend annual services, mainly on the safety grounds but as well to ensure reliability of the boiler in utilization. On grounds of efficiency it is important to service oil boilers annually. The soot which builds-up is such as to significantly increase oil consumption thereby increasing the cost of maintaining the boiler. With gas boilers, soot build-up is not a problem because of its clean burning characteristics, even then a yearly service would still be recommended.

At the time of boiler servicing if the boiler whether it be oil or gas is more than 15 years old then it would be best to replace it immediately. Enhancing the working effectiveness of the boiler represents more than 25% fuel saving. When replacing a boiler, the first consideration should be about which fuel to use. One should consider replacing the boiler with one that uses the same fuel as that already in supply to save both installation and running cost.

Similarly, by replacing the older one, low competence boiler along with a fresh, highly effective boiler, the fuel bills can be cut down by a quarter. So, you should replace old boilers for two causes; first of all, considerable savings of the fuel cost and secondly, better reliability and security. Boilers should be both installed and serviced by an experienced technician to ensure safety and proper functioning.
