The boiler at your business is your source of hot water, and even if you aren’t a company that relies directly on it like a laundromat or restaurant, having hot water is still essential.

Here are some signs it’s time to replace your commercial boiler. Don’t wait until it’s too late.

Consistent low pressure

You need to have pressure in the boiler to have hot water, but if you are constantly losing it, it could be a sign that the unit is on its way out. There should normally be pressure between 1-1.5 bar. The drop in pressure could be from leaks, lack of water, or a faulty release valve – or it could just be because it needs to be replaced.

Loud noises

Commercial boiler units are often going to make noises, but I can tell you that loud noises are not normal. Banging, clanging, whistling, and basically any other sound that could startle you is a sign that something is not right. Blockages, leaks, or pressure issues could be the main culprit.

High bills

You should know how high your bills are each month, and if you are beginning to see unusual or unexplained hikes, it is probably because the unit is underperforming. As your boiler ages, it can’t do the things that it used to. It’s best to get an inspection right away.

Persistent leaks

If you notice the unit constantly leaking, then you could have big problems. Although some issues are fixable, leaks are a sign that the unit is on the way out. If it’s getting up there in age, a replacement is your best bet.
