How much does a commercial boiler repair cost?

Repairing a commercial boiler typically costs around £200-300 (ex VAT), not including parts.

How often do commercial boilers break down?

Commercial boilers are very reliable. They are designed to be robust and capable of running in high demand. Years of research and development have fine-tuned commercial boilers to be capable machines. With that in mind, you can expect a commercial boiler to break down far less than a domestic boiler, mainly due to the simplified design and superior build quality. On average, you can expect a commercial boiler to break down every 5-7 years, with a higher frequency when the boiler gets beyond 10 years old.

Should I repair or replace a commercial boiler?

This is one of the most commonly asked questions regarding a commercial boiler breakdown. The answer can differ significantly from that of a domestic boiler due to the higher replacement costs. Wherever possible, you should attempt to repair a commercial boiler if the following criteria have been met:

The boiler is less than 15 years old
The boiler has a solid history of reliability
The boiler is a high-efficiency appliance (A-rated)
The boiler is part of a multi-boiler cascade system

If your boiler doesn’t meet these criteria, we recommend you consider replacement. The main reason is efficiency; it will be costly if your boiler is not classed as a high-efficiency boiler. By replacing the boiler, the cost will be largely offset by a reduction in energy costs. This can be as high as 40%, leading to considerable savings for a commercial property.

What about preventative maintenance?

Commercial boilers are found in many business premises, including schools, hotels, warehouses, factories, leisure centres and churches. Most businesses depend on their heating and hot water to be in constant use, 24 hours a day – think of a hotel, for example. For this reason, there can be big problems should something go wrong. All businesses must provide employees with a warm and hygienic environment for health and safety reasons. To keep your commercial boiler in tip-top condition and running efficiently, it must be serviced regularly. This way, even minor issues will be identified before they have a chance to become a significant problem.

If your commercial boiler needs repair, you need to engage with a commercial-oriented company that understands the importance of a commercial boiler breakdown. They must have the right tools and knowledge to get you up and running swiftly. There is no point in contacting any local boiler engineer; a commercial boiler specialist must repair with the proper registration to repair your specific appliance.

Summary

Most modern commercial boilers are highly efficient and hard-wearing, but you must have them serviced by a qualified gas engineer regularly to avoid regular breakdowns. If your commercial boiler needs repairing, you should contact an engineer registered to repair the boiler. Once you’ve received a diagnosis and quote, you can decide whether to repair or replace your commercial boiler.
