MPN Frequently Asked Question

How often should I have my commercial boiler serviced?

Commercial boilers or for that matter, all of your building support systems should be serviced at least once a year by a qualified factory authorized technician. A qualified technician can alert you to recommended repairs, upgrades, or changes to your operating procedures to extend the longevity and reliability of your equipment. This will help to ensure that the boiler is operating efficiently and safely.

What are the signs that my commercial boiler needs to be repaired or replaced?

Some signs that your commercial boiler needs to be repaired or replaced include:

Leaks: If the boiler is leaking, it should be repaired immediately.

Strange noises: If the boiler is making strange noises, it could be a sign of a problem.

Reduced efficiency: If the boiler is not heating the building as efficiently as it used to, it may need to be repaired or replaced.

Controls: Inability to find a direct replacement for the original or existing controls.

Old age: Commercial boilers have a lifespan of about 20-25 years. If your boiler is older than 25 years, it may be time to have it evaluated for upgrade or replacement. Before making any decision to replace your boiler, always consider the condition of the pressure vessel. There are systems and upgrades you can add to an aging boiler that can expand its useful lifespan and in many cases improve its operation and lower your operating costs.
