With colder days just around the corner, September is the perfect time to get your commercial heating systems checked over and serviced by a Gas Safe-registered engineer.
This way, you’ll know everything is running safely, efficiently and reliably before you reach for that thermostat.
Here are five of the best reasons to book your boiler in for an MOT, and make sure the heating and hot water stay on all winter along with ensuring compliance in your business..
Commercial boiler servicing keeps you compliant
Regular boiler servicing ensures your heating system is both safe and compliant with all relevant regulations – protecting the people you’re responsible for, as well as your reputation.
By law, your commercial properties need to have a Gas Safety check every 12 months, plus a Gas Safety certificate for every piece of equipment that uses gas. Just remember to get proof of your engineer’s competence – simply ask to see their Gas Safe card. If in doubt, check their details on gassaferegister.co.uk
Servicing maintains efficiency and reduces energy costs
Servicing and preventative maintenance is always the best way to prevent future problems and reduce the chance of running into problems during the winter months. Boilers of any age need to be serviced regularly, and it’s recommended that you service your boiler at least once a year. Although there’s a cost to having your boiler serviced, you’re likely to enjoy improved efficiency and reduced energy bills in the longer term.
Boiler servicing keeps your warranty valid
For certain models and manufacturers of boilers, an annual boiler service is required to keep a valid warranty going. Failing (or forgetting) to service your boiler could void your warranty, leaving you with costly repairs or replacements that would’ve been covered otherwise. In a similar way, some building insurance policies have annual boiler servicing as a requirement.
Boiler helps you avoid costly future repairs
Having your commercial boiler serviced annually means smaller issues are much more likely to be picked up before they turn into bigger (and more disruptive) issues, which could even cause your boiler to break down altogether. A broken-down boiler is expensive to sort out – and will cost even more to replace. Even worse, it could leave you and your premises without heating or hot water when you need it most.
