January 10 is National Cut Your Energy Costs Day – and although we think every day is a good day for lowering energy costs, we at Industrial Steam Boiler Corporation understand how important it is for our commercial customers’ steam boilers to be energy-efficient and cost-effective!
After all, as a building owner or property manager, keeping to your budget is just as important as keeping your residents and clients cozy and warm.
While we design and manufacture our commercial boilers to the highest standards, we’d like to offer building owners and managers some maintenance tips to save energy and money for years to come:
Preventive maintenance: Steam boilers operate under high pressure and high temperature, and preventive maintenance will not only keep it operating efficiently but safely. too.
- Daily boiler inspections: Check for water leaks, keep the area around the boiler clear of obstruction, and check pressure and temperature readings.
- Ensure water quality: A clean boiler is an efficient boiler, and an efficient boiler makes for a happy building owner! In order to stay clean, the water your boiler utilizes should be free of oil and other impurities. Dirty water causes short cycling and wet steam, both of which waste energy and money.
Even with proper maintenance (and tender loving care), commercial steam boilers typically last 15 to 20 years. Is it time for a new boiler now that the new year has begun? Give us a call at (718) 665-0888 or contact us to get started.
