Service & Maintenance

Take our word for it ….
Prevention is better than Cure

The old adage “a stitch in time, saves nine” is an understatement in the context of boiler maintenance.

With boilers often in constant service and fulfilling critical heating functions within buildings ranging from domestic residences to major airports, it makes sense to keep them running at peak performance.

Unfortunately, all too often, boiler maintenance remains unscheduled and overlooked until boiler failure becomes a reality and a lack of heating starts impacting on people and critical functions throughout the household or organisation.

Annual Service

Every boiler, cooler and pump requires maintenance to ensure reliable and efficient operation. An unserviced system can quickly become a costly asset, experiencing premature failures that can damage both the system and potentially the surrounding areas. Regular preventative maintenance will ensure optimum performance is being achieved and running costs are being kept to a minimum.

Our nationwide service network offers fixed price, tailored service contracts to allow you to budget for the maintenance of your plant with confidence, while our extensive range of spare parts can be relied upon at any time – even long after your purchase. Tailored service contracts mean that you only pay for the level of servicing you require and the fixed price enables you to budget for the cost of the plant over the coming years.

Key reasons for having your boiler serviced annually
  1. Regulatory Compliance – Government regulations set out minimum service requirements for all commercial buildings in order to meet health and safety standards. These regulations also stipulate how long service records should be kept. Annual servicing of your heating plant and maintenance of accurate service records provides a level of insurance not only against heating failure but against costly litigation resulting from an appliance rendered dangerous through neglect.
  2. Keeping your building safe – Having your boiler serviced helps to highlight any potential dangers and risks associated with your boiler and flue. When your boiler stops working efficiently, it’s possible for toxic carbon monoxide gases to be released. These gases are extremely dangerous and pose serious risks to anyone exposed to them, yet are ordinarily hard to detect.
  3. Identify Problems Early – During a service, potential problems are identified early and can help to minimise further damage to the boiler and save costly future repairs.
  4. Reduce your Fuel Bills – During an annual boiler service, your boiler parts are cleaned and the boiler efficiency is checked. A properly maintained boiler running at optimum efficiency ensures ongoing energy savings are maintained.
  5. Keeping your Warranty Valid – Many boiler warranties are valid subject to having an annual service carried out. For many boiler manufacturers, failing to service your boiler using an appropriately certified heating engineer can invalidate your warranty altogether, leaving you liable for costly repair bills.
  6. Cheaper than Replacing a Boiler – If your boiler is left faulty for long periods of time, much larger and more complicated issues can arise, perhaps even resulting in your boiler needing replacing. Recognising any problems early on can reduce the amount of permanent damage caused to your boiler and keep it running for longer.

Commissioning

Once a system is engineered and installed, essential checks should be made to ensure maximum safety from the very start. The Automatic Heating commissioning service involves checking that your systems have been installed correctly as specified and includes various testing procedures to ensure satisfactory performance and compliance with appropriate regulations.

The commissioning process is the most important part of any installation before it is set into full operation. In addition, the Automatic Heating team can also program your system, set it up and, where required, train your operator.

On Site Inspection and Audit

Where needed, we can organise one of our experts to perform an on site inspection and audit. This will provide you with a report on our findings and a recommendation on which step to make next, whether it be maintenance, repair or replacement of your equipment.
