SyA Instalaciones, a company specialized in thermal installations and air conditioning, has highlighted the importance of annual boiler maintenance, especially now that the cold months are approaching. This service not only aims to extend the lifespan of the equipment but is also essential for generating energy savings, preventing breakdowns, and ensuring user safety.
According to the company, the proper functioning of a boiler is closely linked to the maintenance it receives. Annual inspections should not be viewed as an unnecessary expense but as an investment in safety and efficiency. A well-maintained boiler not only consumes less fuel but also reduces pollutant emissions and better adapts to heating and hot water needs.
Among the benefits of boiler maintenance are improved energy efficiency, with gas consumption reductions ranging from 10% to 20%. Additionally, this service helps to prevent breakdowns, as many common failures can be avoided with preventive inspections. According to Spanish regulations governing thermal installations, maintaining the boiler is a legal requirement that ensures compliance with safety standards.
Professional maintenance includes essential tasks such as cleaning burners and heat exchangers, checking pressure and water levels, inspecting safety valves, and analyzing combustion. Qualified technicians carry out these tasks, ensuring competent service that adheres to current regulations.
The regulations state that domestic boilers must be inspected at least every two years, while those in buildings or commercial premises with higher output require annual inspections. Owners, homeowners’ associations, and property managers are responsible for complying with these regulations to avoid penalties and, above all, to ensure the safety of all occupants.
SyA Instalaciones recommends scheduling maintenance before the heating season begins, especially from September to November. This way, it ensures that systems are in perfect condition before the thermal demand increases, avoiding waits and delays.
Among the most common breakdowns that proper maintenance can prevent are scale accumulation in the heat exchanger, undetected leaks, ignition failures, and pressure issues. These situations can result not only in costly repairs but can also compromise heating or hot water supply, affecting user comfort.
Additionally, SyA Instalaciones offers maintenance contracts that include scheduled visits and priority service for breakdowns, providing a comprehensive solution that ensures the good condition of the boilers. With automatic reminders for inspections, clients can rest easy knowing they are fulfilling their regulatory obligations while prioritizing their safety and environmental protection.
