Maintain Central Heating Boiler and Stay Warm

Residential as well commercial spaces use central heating boilers in order to regulate and standardize the temperature inside the space. Commercial spaces are extremely benefitted by the central heating system as regulating the temperature within the building would be simple and undemanding. Any equipment requires maintenance and the central heating boiler is no exception.

In the case of a house the house owners can maintain by themselves by doing specific checks on a regular basis. However this option is not a viable one for commercial space owners and they undoubtedly need external and professional help to maintain their central heating system. In this article we would have a quick peek into those things that need to be looked into to maintain the central heating system.

Check pipes

This is a very essential check. It is vital to see that there are no leaks in any of the pipes that run either from or to the unit. It is recommended to check these six months once. All the connections and valves are also checked while checking the pipes. It is crucial to immediately fix the pipe if any leak is found else it would lead to further snags.

Obstacle Free

The place around the central heating equipment should be absolutely free of obstacles. This means one should be able to access the equipment without having to move anything. Apart from this the area should be swept clean and the equipment should also be wiped and dusted once in six months to avoid any accumulation of dirt.

Dust free

Not just the external area of the equipment should be clean even the interiors must be clean for the smooth functioning of the boiler. All the pipes and valves need to be clean. One need not open the equipment for this; all that needs to be done is to flush in certain chemicals that are meant to clean the equipment internally. These chemicals completely flush out any kind of dirt or sediments that are there inside the pipes and valves of the boiler.

Usually the company which sells the boiler also offers the service contract.  They make checks on a regular basis if you sign in their service agreement. However when the checks are done it is better to note down the type of checks that is carried out and when they are carried out.  Maintaining such logs will always be useful when any malfunction arises. However while choosing a service provider there are a few things that you need to look into

• Check if the service provider has the license to pride the service. Licenses are normally issued by the concerned regulating authority
• Check if the service provider is insured so that in case of any accident happens while they are doing service at your premises it would be taken care of.
• Last but not the least make sure that the service provider is well aware of the model that you are using and knows what needs to be done exactly. In simple term make sure that he is a professional or an experienced person to handle the equipment.
