Only a Gas Sage Registered commercial gas engineer should install commercial boilers. These engineers have proven track record and experience installing commercial boilers. They can assess properties for installation and recommend the correct installation methods.
A commercial gas engineer has a higher standard of training that a conventional gas engineer. A conventional gas engineer will install, test, and repair home gas appliances and pipes within a residential property. A commercial gas engineer, however, has the training to install commercial appliances. Such as, heaters, central heating boilers, pipework systems in colleges, universities, and schools. Including warehouses, business, and public establishments.
Here are some tell tale signs that you require a new commercial boiler.
- Constant boiler breakdown and repair requirements
- Reduction in heat across properties, regardless of boiler identifying heat is on
- Water temperature not quite hot
- Noises, humming, buzzing, and creaking coming from the boiler
- Regularly having to restart the boiler
- Increase in monthly energy bills
- Leaking boiler and adjacent pipework
Commercial boilers should undergo annual boiler services, by trained and qualified commercial gas engineers. A well serviced commercial boiler should last between 12 to 15 years.
This is much dependent on the amount of work that commercial boiler is being put under. Along with the correct type of service plan and history. If these have been done correctly, then you can get over 10 years with your boiler. Bear in mind that old cast iron boilers that have been operating for more than 20 years should be replaced.
Typically, only in a commercial property or establishment. These types of boilers are designed for heavy duty work and would otherwise be wasted on residential properties. They will save your business money in the long run. Commercial boilers can be designed in accordance with how you run your business and can be programmed to ensure your boiler is running at maximum efficiency.
