Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a commercial boiler be serviced?
Most commercial boilers benefit from at least an annual service, but higher-use sites may need more frequent visits. A simple review of your plant, hours of use and risk factors can confirm the right schedule.
What is included in a commercial boiler maintenance visit?
A visit usually includes safety and performance checks, inspection and cleaning where accessible, and checks of controls and system operation. You also receive a written summary with any faults found and recommended next steps.
Will I receive documentation for compliance purposes?
Yes, you should expect clear service records and reporting after the visit. If additional statutory inspections or certifications are required for your site, these can be flagged and arranged where applicable.
Can maintenance be arranged under a PPM contract?
Yes, maintenance can be scheduled as planned visits across the year to suit occupancy and operational needs. This helps reduce reactive call-outs and gives you consistent reporting across your heating plant.
