Why commercial boilers struggle

Why commercial boilers struggle


Commercial boilers are durable, capable of providing steady, worry-free service.

Until…

Here are some of the most common causes and fixes for commercial boilers.

Low pressure

Probable causes: Trouble with the thermostat or air pressure. A valve could be blocked or a pump damaged.

Little or no heat

Probable causes: Burners are struggling due to dust or debris clogging the system. Other possibilities: pump damage, broken thermostat or an erratic ignition.

Leaks

Probable causes: condensation, corrosion or weakened parts or material.

Unusual noises

Probable causes: snafus with air intake, exhaust, gas piping, gas pressure or limescale buildup.

You want to make sure your periodic boiler check-ups take limescale into account. It’s bad news for a boiler because it can cut water flow, cause blockages and reduce heat transfer efficiency. Attentive maintenance can keep it from causing problems.
