How often should a commercial hot water boiler be serviced?

Annually as a minimum, and twice a year for hospital, hotel and 24-hour plant. Each service includes combustion analysis, safety device testing and a water quality check.

Can you convert a diesel hot water boiler to gas?

Yes, where reticulated gas or an LPG installation is viable. We size the burner, handle the gas train, commissioning and the certificate of compliance.

Do you handle Legionella risk on hot water systems?

We set and verify storage and distribution temperatures, service the mixing valves and can implement a thermal disinfection routine as part of a maintenance contract.

Troubleshooting

Common hot water boiler faults in Lynnwood

System pressure keeps dropping+
Likely causes
- Leaking radiator, flange or pump gland
- Failed expansion vessel diaphragm
- Pressure relief valve passing
What to check
Check the pressure gauge cold vs hot, inspect the relief discharge pipe for water, and press the expansion vessel schrader valve for water instead of air.
When to call us
If make-up water is being added more than monthly — continuous fresh water introduces oxygen and destroys the boiler internally.
Poor heat output despite the boiler firing+
Likely causes
- Scaled or fouled heat exchanger
- Circulation pump running at the wrong speed or airlocked
- Sludge build-up in the distribution circuit
What to check
Compare flow and return temperatures — a wide differential with a low flow usually means restricted circulation.
When to call us
When flushing and pump adjustment don't restore the design differential, the exchanger likely needs chemical descaling.
Boiler short-cycles on and off+
Likely causes
- Oversized boiler for the current load
- Faulty thermostat or sensor placement
- Insufficient system volume or closed bypass
What to check
Time the burn cycles — under three minutes indicates short-cycling that shortens component life sharply.
When to call us
For sequencing, buffer vessel sizing or a modulating burner retrofit — short-cycling wastes significant fuel.
