Commercial Heating Commissioning
Commercial heating commissioning is the process of testing, setting up and verifying a heating system after installation, upgrades or repairs. It confirms the plant and controls operate safely, efficiently and as intended, and provides clear records for handover and compliance.
More information
What commercial heating commissioning covers
Commissioning turns an installed or repaired system into one that performs reliably day to day. Depending on the site and equipment, commissioning can include:
- Pre-commission checks on plant, pipework, electrics and isolation points
- Filling, venting and pressure checks (where applicable)
- Basic water quality checks and confirmation of dosing and filtration approach
- Verification of pumps, valves, pressurisation equipment and expansion provision
- Control set-up: time schedules, setpoints, zoning and interlocks
- Safety checks on key protections and safe shut-down operation
- Functional testing to confirm heat delivery to all served areas
- System balancing and adjustment to improve comfort and reduce wasted energy
- Recording of settings, test results and any defects to resolve
- Practical handover notes so your facilities or site team can run the system confidently
When commissioning is most useful
This service is a fit when you need confidence that a commercial system is operating correctly and can be signed off.
- After a new boiler or plant installation
- After major repairs, upgrades or control changes
- Following tenant fit-outs or alterations to layout and zoning
- If you are seeing cold spots, overheating, noise, air issues or recurring breakdowns
- Before taking over a managed property or starting a new maintenance contract
How the commissioning is delivered
Work typically starts with a review of the system design intent, controls and access requirements. On site, the system is tested in stages, then adjusted and re-tested until it meets safe operating requirements and performs as expected. You will be kept informed of any constraints found, plus any remedial work needed before full sign-off.
After commissioning
You receive a clear summary of what was tested, what was set, and what to monitor. Where issues are identified, you get a prioritised list of actions to resolve them, plus options for ongoing planned maintenance and periodic re-commissioning to keep performance stable.
