Although used less in new commercial construction, boilers were once the best choice for commercial heating systems. Their size and integration into the building’s infrastructure make them extremely cost-prohibitive to replace. That leaves many schools, multi-family residences and some offices with aging heating systems. But they can still work efficiently if properly maintained.
To keep your commercial boiler system in optimal working condition, make sure these maintenance services are performed regularly:
Checking the flues and vents
All HVAC systems, including boilers, rely on the efficient flow of air. Clear ducts, vents and flues ensure that the most warmed air reaches the rooms needing to be climate controlled and return cool air so that the thermostat can accurately gauge the temperature.
To make sure your building has proper air flow, air vents need to be cleared (as in not blocked by furniture, window treatments, etc.) and ducts need to be cleaned. You and/or your building tenants can take the steps needed to ensure air vents are open and unblocked. You will likely need professional duct cleaning to remove built-up debris, dirt, pollens and other contaminants, and R & R Heating & Air can customize commercial HVAC maintenance contracts to provide cost-effective services for boiler operations.
