Biomass Servicing

Regular servicing will reduce the risk of breakdown, improve quality of emissions, maintain combustion efficiencies  and help prolong the life of your boiler as well as save on fuel. Plus in order to qualify for the Renewable Heat Incentive and comply with the warranty conditions your boiler must be serviced in accordance with manufacturers recommendations.

 

 

We know that each biomass installation is unique so our service and support options allow you to build up a service package to suit you, taking into account the boiler operation and fuel type. 

Our “standard” biomass service packages includes access to our technical helpline, two annual visits (including one full service and  one combustion check) plus discounted labour and spare parts. Any further bolt-on options can be added as required ensuring you only pay for what you need.

If you run your boiler all year round a high usage contract may be applicable to cover the hours your boiler will be operational per annum.

• Flue Cleaning is available – ( after a quote has been issued and agreed ) *

• Fuel storage and associated auger cleaning providing the fuel is at level to be able to carry out works

 

 

• Investigate fault log

• Carry out a combustion check 

• Test, run and check operation of all boiler systems

 

 

Our bolt-on options can be added to your service contract and quoted as required these include:

 

• Additional commissioning visits

• Monthly maintenance checks relieving the property owner of the need to employ an engineer

• Consumables maintenance pack

• Annual silo maintenance

• Trough filling elevator system maintenance

• Heat meter checks

• Flue cleaning

• Performance Optimisation

Following each service visit our engineers will complete a full maintenance report detailing any observations, repairs or adjustments made  - ensuring you can build up a full service record for your system.

The service frequency for your boiler is detailed in the operations and maintenance manual supplied with the boiler. Should the boiler be running more than the estimated hours, the boiler installer will advise of any amendments required to the agreed service plan. Please remember that before any planned service work can be carried out it is important that the boiler is allowed to cool down for a period of 24 hours to ensure a safe working environment
