When should you service your commercial heating system?
Is there a right time to service your business’s heating system to keep it in tip-top condition? We typically start to think about our heating system as we approach the cooler seasons, so around autumn or when we’re on the brink of winter. Often it’s when you’re getting ready to turn the heating system on for the first time in months.
But, the best time to service your commercial heating system is during the spring or summer months when it’s most inactive. Why? The reason an athlete takes the time to warm up before a race is to get their body ready for running a marathon (or even simply a 5K!). Warming up reduces the risk of injury and enhances their performance. In a way, by servicing a heating system every spring or summer ensures it can run at its optimum level without fault when you need it the most.
When you flick the switch to turn the heating on for the first time in the cooler seasons, after months of inactivity, it can struggle to get going. It needs its coffee to kick-start it!
The annual servicing of heat pumps, biomass, CHP, gas and electrical solutions can help generate greater savings by maintaining their efficiency.
What does an annual servicing plan include?
A standard annual servicing plan typically includes the following elements (depending on the heating solution installed):
- Full inspection of components
- Settings & reports check
- Brine testing
- Expansion vessel check
- Filter clean
- Pipe insulation check
- DHW check
- Sentinel inhibitor top-up
- Sensor calibration
- Outdoor fan unit clean
