Winter is just around the corner and, before you know it, we’ll all be turning the heating on again. Now is the perfect time of year to make sure your commercial heating system is working properly in readiness for the cold weather.
If your business’s heating system isn’t working as well as you’d like, the question is: should you replace or repair your heating system before the winter rush?
Signs your heating system is nearing the end of its life
1. Increased running cost
Older heating systems are less energy efficient than modern units, and cost more to run. If your commercial heating system is old and you’ve noticed it taking a bigger bite out of your energy bill than before, it’s likely the system is losing efficiency.
Whilst repairs can partially solve this problem for a while, it’s only going to get worse as time goes on. The most economical thing to do might be to replace your industrial heating system.
2. Expensive to maintain
A heating system that can’t be relied upon will become a big problem once the cold weather properly hits.
If your system has become faulty and unreliable in recent years, the cost of repairing it has likely shot up too. Newer systems are cheaper to maintain and will save you money in the long run.
3. Noisy when operating
Unusual noises from your heating when its running (rattling, creaking, etc.) are a strong indicator that something’s not quite right.
If you get your commercial heating checked by qualified heating engineers, like us, we can advise whether your money would be better spent on repairing or replacing the unit.
