Boiler Repair
What You Can Expect with Aire Serv of [name]
A commercial boiler repair appointment with Aire Serv typically involves several key steps to ensure the boiler is properly diagnosed and adequately fixed. Our appointment might look a bit different depending on the size and existing problems of your boiler, but we will always provide you with as much information as we can with upfront pricing before we begin service. Although commercial boiler repairs are similar to residential boiler repairs, commercial boilers can be more complex and require special knowledge.
Initial Assessment:
When our service professional arrives at the scheduled time, they will conduct an initial assessment of the boiler’s condition, including thoroughly inspecting the boiler and looking for visible signs of damage, leaks, or other issues. We will need to gather all information you can provide us on how the boiler has been operating, and if you have noticed anything unusual.
Testing:
Various tests may be conducted to diagnose the problem. This could include pressure tests, combustion analysis, checking electrical components, and more.
Diagnosis:
Based on the inspection and testing, we will explain our findings to you and let you know the upfront cost of repairs.
Repair:
Once the repair plan has been approved, our team can proceed with the repairs. This might include replacing faulty parts, adjusting settings, or fixing leaks as needed.
Testing and Calibration:
After completing the repairs, we will test the boiler to ensure it is operating correctly. We may need to calibrate controls and settings to optimize system performance and efficiency.
Follow-up and Maintenance Recommendations:
Aire Serv always recommends ongoing maintenance for any type of HVAC system. Regular maintenance will extend the life of the boiler and prevent future issues.
When we schedule a repair appointment, we always prioritize prompt and effective service. We want to minimize downtime to allow your business to operate efficiently and cause as few disruptions to your day as possible.

Boiler Replacement
How to Tell When It's Time to Replace
Knowing when it’s time to replace your business’ boiler depends on several factors. Here are some signs that indicate it might be time for a replacement:
- Age: Industrial boilers have a lifespan of around 15-25 years. If your boiler is approaching or exceeds this age range, it may be more prone to breakdowns and inefficiencies.
- Frequent Repairs: If your boiler requires frequent repairs or if repair costs are becoming increasingly expensive, it might be more cost-effective to replace it rather than continue investing in repairs.
- Energy Efficiency: Older boilers tend to be less energy efficient compared to newer models. Upgrading to a newer, more efficient boiler can result in significant energy savings and lower operating costs over time, which can justify the upfront investment.
- Energy Bills: If you notice a steady increase in heating costs despite normal usage patterns, it could indicate that your boiler is becoming less efficient and may need replacement.
- Uneven Heating: If your boiler struggles to maintain consistent heating levels throughout your business premises or if certain areas are colder than others, it could be a sign of boiler inefficiency or failing components.
- Water Quality Issues: Problems such as frequent leaks, corrosion, or scaling issues in the boiler system may indicate that the boiler is deteriorating and nearing the end of its useful life.
- Visible Signs of Wear: Look for visible signs of wear and deterioration on your boiler, such as rust, leaks, or corrosion. These are signs that the boiler may be deteriorating and nearing the end of its functional life.
- Safety Concerns: If your boiler is experiencing safety issues, such as frequent pressure fluctuations, leaking water, or malfunctioning safety controls, it poses a risk to your business and employees. Boilers can produce carbon monoxide; we recommend having a carbon monoxide detector installed to catch safety concerns quickly.
- Changes in Regulations: Older boilers may not comply with updated regulations, which could necessitate replacement to avoid penalties or legal issues.
- Noise and Performance: Pay attention to unusual noises such as banging, whistling, or rumbling coming from the boiler. These could indicate underlying issues that may be costly to repair and could signal the need for replacement.
Replacing a boiler is a significant investment, but it can lead to improved efficiency, reduced operating costs, enhanced reliability, and better comfort for your business environment. Making an informed decision based on these factors ensures that you choose the right time to replace your business’ boiler. Not sure if your boiler is ready for an upgrade? Give Aire Serv a call! We can assess your current system and give recommendations based on our findings.
