Boiler Installation and Maintenance

Whether you are in need of a domestic boiler for your home or an industrial boiler powerful enough to heat a whole factory, the right installation and maintenance is necessary for it to function efficiently.

How do Boilers Work?

Boilers are a part of a heating system for a building, it produces the heat and warms up water which is then transported through pipes through the building to all the radiators. It also heats the water you use to wash your dishes or have a shower. Once it isn’t hot anymore, the water is transported back to the boiler for reheating. It can use either oil, gas, or electricity to produce this heat. A domestic boiler is less powerful and can only heat a certain amount of water and radiators large enough for a regular home. Industrial boilers are much larger with a bigger reach, they can handle heating a lot more water for larger buildings, both of these require slightly different boiler maintenance.

Installation of a Boiler

As installing your own boiler is illegal, it may not be common knowledge how a boiler is actually installed. The first step is to uninstall your current boiler to make sure you have space for your new system. Then, the whole system is cleaned and flushed out so that no residue is left over from the last machine. This will help water travel faster to other parts of the home and heat radiators faster. Any upgrades or new fittings are then done to the pipes depending on their condition and how new they are to make sure the system is compatible. The new boiler is finally attached to the rest of the system and checked to make sure that it works before signing off that it is done. While these steps sound simple, it is extremely dangerous to fit your own boiler, especially in an industrial setting, which is why it is important to find an experienced and reliable company with professionals that can do this safely.
