The importance of boiler inspection
Choosing an adequately designed and appropriately sized boiler can be confusing because of different manufacturers, makes and models, and boiler types. Therefore, it is paramount that you decide on the correctly sized and correct type of boiler required for your specific commercial or industrial application. Otherwise, there will be some serious issues down the line. Whilst having a suitable, efficient boiler, it is vitally important for your boiler to be serviced and undergo an annual inspection. Some boilers may require more frequent review depending on age and usage. Faults can be found and corrected, or replaced.
Boiler failure not only is a nuisance, but it has a knock-on effect interrupting service to a facility, the occupants, and operations. It can significantly damage the building, other equipment, and building contents if a failure occurs during a peak heating season. It can result in a cost to repair damage to a facility, its systems, and its contents that may exceed the cost of repairing or replacing the boiler. Undergoing proper and regular boiler inspections can, in many instances, help prevent situations like this.
Did you know that most boiler failures happen because of malfunctioning low water cutoffs, operator error, poor maintenance and corrosion? Properly functioning control or safety devices are essential for any boiler, large or small. The only sure-fire way to ensure that boilers work when necessary is to regularly perform required boiler maintenance, testing, and inspection.
At Fire Power Boiler Services, we offer our customers a wide range of boiler services, including annual or biennial inspections to assist you with maintaining your steam/hot water equipment and keep you current with both the state and local municipalities code enforcement.
Regular boiler inspections are crucial for maintaining optimal function capacity and energy efficiency. It is no surprise that boilers are high energy users, second only to HVAC systems in annual energy usage. Having a boiler operating inefficiently means increased operating costs and wasted energy.
Having regular inspections can help extend the life of the pressure vessel, which is especially crucial when considering that boilers constitute a significant investment, costing several thousands of dollars for large industrial models.
Boiler safety devices prevent dangerous conditions from turning into disasters, and only proper maintenance prevents these potentially unsafe operating conditions from occurring in the first place. Maintenance requirements will vary by boiler specifications and applications; However, all boilers require common maintenance activities.
It’s important to remember that most boiler-related problems don’t happen suddenly. They develop slowly over a long period. Boiler related issues can develop so slowly that maintenance personnel grow accustomed to the change without realizing it is taking place. Problems could mean something like the slow build-up of corrosion in the safety valve or sediment collecting in the float chamber on the connection lines of the low water fuel cutoff device.
