Commercial Boiler Service in Greensboro, NC

To get the most out of your boiler, regular maintenance is imperative. Otherwise, you may face a costly breakdown that could have been prevented. Without regular service, boilers can become less efficient and break down unexpectedly. That is why it's so important to work with a reputable commercial HVAC company like Superior Mechanical. We keep your business' boiler and heating system running consistently.

Routine Boiler Maintenance

Commercial boilers are a major investment, and you want the best value. To do that, focus on your system’s daily, monthly, and annual maintenance.

Daily Maintenance Tasks

Your maintenance team should handle these tasks daily. If you suspect issues, call Superior Mechanical to inspect your system. 

• Assessing the boiler's water level through the glass tubes (sight glasses) and cleaning them as needed.
• Checking the system for new leaks.
• Inspecting pressure and temperature gauges.
• Listening to the system for any unusual noises or new vibrations.
• Performing a bottom blowdown to expel sediment.

Monthly Maintenance Tasks

These are tasks your maintenance team may want a commercial HVAC professional to help with.

• Checking flame sensors.
• Cleaning burner nozzles.
• Inspecting the burners, fuel and release valves, and flue gas vents.
• Removing any excessive sludge buildup.Testing the water pH, hardness, and dissolved oxygen to prevent scale.

Annual Services

Superior Mechanical offers annual cleanings and maintenance services. What actually happens depends on your system’s age and design, but it typically involves: 

• Combustion Test: Performing a full analysis and test of the combustion process and adjusting the air-fuel ratio as needed.
• Control and Valve Tests: Testing all safety relief valves and calibrating any controls to ensure the valves function properly.
• Parts Replacement: Replacing worn gaskets and parts more prone to failure from wear and tear, as needed.
• System Flush: Opening the chambers to remove debris such as residue, scale, and soot with a thorough flush.

Boiler Inspections for Insurance Compliance

Protecting your business from legal liabilities and insurance claim denials starts with a comprehensive boiler inspection.

Hiring commercial HVAC experts to ensure your system passes required audits and meets requirements helps keep your insurance coverage problem-free. The last thing any business owner wants is to learn that a system was faulty and, therefore, insurance won’t cover a claim.

Boiler inspections also give you peace of mind. If you suspect something is off, you'll have an expert opinion on your system's safety. Before a catastrophe happens, an expert inspects your system and alerts you to issues.

Preventative Services for Commercial Boilers

If your goal is to maximize your energy efficiency, preventative services are key. Talk to your commercial boiler maintenance professional about these three important services. 

• Combustion Testing: Combustion testing focuses on fuel efficiency and emissions. It checks how well your burner is using the fuel and that there is no dangerous buildup of carbon monoxide, a deadly, odorless gas that can affect your workers' health. A healthy burner glows blue, not orange or yellow.
• Safety Control Testing: This checks whether your commercial boiler's safety systems are in good shape. If your system fails unexpectedly, it needs to fail safely. Testing the flame safeguards, fuel shut-offs, pressure relief valves, and testing limits ensures that your system won't explode or overpressurize.
• Water Treatment Control: Failure often happens because of corrosion or scale. Treating water to the right pH and chemical balance prevents unexpected wear and boiler failure.
