With the summer holidays coming to an end, our experienced engineer Shane recently completed commercial boiler servicing at another local school, carrying out planned maintenance before pupils and staff return for the new term.
School heating systems need to be ready for regular use as buildings return to normal occupancy. Completing servicing during the summer break provides a practical opportunity to assess the boilers and identify anything requiring further attention before heating demand increases.
Commercial Boiler Servicing for Schools
Commercial boilers can provide heating across classrooms, offices and other occupied areas, making their maintenance an important part of managing a school’s heating system.
The requirements of a commercial boiler service depend on the boilers installed, their condition and the manufacturer’s instructions. The purpose is to assess their operation, complete the appropriate maintenance and identify anything that may require further investigation or remedial work.
Where multiple boilers form part of the same heating system, their individual operation should also be considered within the wider installation.
Why Service School Boilers During the Summer Holidays?
School holidays provide a useful window for commercial heating maintenance.
Completing planned work before the start of term allows identified issues to be considered before the heating system returns to regular use. It can also minimise disruption compared with carrying out the same work around pupils, staff and the school timetable.
Servicing cannot guarantee that a future fault will not occur, but it provides an opportunity to assess the condition of the boilers rather than waiting for a breakdown to prompt attention.
What Can Commercial Boiler Servicing Include?
The exact procedure depends on the boiler and manufacturer requirements. Depending on the system, servicing may include:
- Inspecting the boiler and relevant components
- Checking burner operation and combustion
- Inspecting flue and ventilation arrangements
- Checking controls and safety devices
- Cleaning components where required
- Assessing boiler condition and operation
- Identifying areas requiring further attention
Where wider heating system checks form part of the visit, other relevant parts of the installation may also be assessed.
