A seasonal industrial boiler or furnace tune-up should be part of your preventive maintenance plan. The purpose of this practice is to extend the lifespan of your industrial boiler system, increase energy efficiency, and prevent costly repairs. A furnace or boiler tune-up includes several steps. The technician you hire will have quite a list of items to inspect, adjust, test, and clean. All of these steps generally take about an hour, so the process is rather simple as long as no serious problems are found. The following will explain what you should expect to be done during a furnace or boiler tune-up.
Tasks performed during an industrial boiler tune-up
During a furnace or boiler tune-up, tests are performed to check the airflow for carbon monoxide. Tests are also performed to spot any natural gas leaks. Electrical wiring is then inspected and tightened. The inspection of safety controls takes place next to ensure they are operating properly. After all safety features have been checked out, the technician will move to the mechanical features. The moving parts are then lubricated and the combustion vents, blower motor, burners, and blowout heat exchanger are cleaned.
The technician will test the ignition system to ensure proper operation. Temperature differences in the supply and return registers will be measured to ensure they are operating effectively. Finally, the technician will check the thermostat for proper calibration. Unless a major repair is needed, the furnace or boiler tune-up should be complete at this point.
Why preventive maintenance saves you money
Scheduling routine service from an industrial boiler maintenance company will keep your manufacturer’s warranty active and your system in the best shape possible. You will be alerted to potential issues before they cost you thousands. If you are under warranty, a major component break down will be covered without you having to drain your savings. By checking combustion leakage, adjusting the burner, and cleaning internal components, your boiler will operate efficiently and use a smaller amount of energy.
