Annual Boiler Inspection
Annual Boiler Inspection
Annual Boiler Inspection
Annual boiler inspection is the law, mandated by NYC DOB
Why is it important?
Maintaining a boiler is just like maintaining a car; we do it regularly to optimize efficiency and performance and so that it doesn’t break down. It is important to observe and check on the status of a variety of parts of the boiler: pressure gauge, low water cut off devices, thermometers, temperature controls, gauge glass, and pressure relief valves. A leak can inform the tech of high pressure build up. Rust accumulation informs of inefficiency and danger of leak, malfunctioning valves inform the risk of explosion or leak of CO (Carbon Monoxide)
The majority of boiler failures are caused by malfunctioning low water cutoffs, operator error, poor maintenance and/or corrosion. We install properly functioning control or safety devices as they are essential for operating any boiler safely.
An inspection detects problems and those will require repair or replacement before the heating season at a reasonable cost. When a boiler breaks down in mid season, or the start of the season, the damage to property far exceed the cost of replacing a boiler.
Its a safety issue – a poorly functioning boiler may emit CO gas, the silent odorless killer gas. Malfunctioning boiler may explode, an inspection, repair and replacement will prevent this dangerous and costly event. In addition, if the valve is worn out or repeatedly being replaced, it means it cannot handle the pressure or heat in the tank and could possibly fail, trapping extremely high pressure in the tank.
Optimal function of the boiler will save the building thousands of dollars. Inefficient operation means wasted energy and increased operating costs.
Regular inspections can help extend the life of this pressure vessel. While the manufacturer may expect the boiler to last 10-15 years, proper care tend to extend the life of a boiler.
