Off The Boil: British Summer Time

The start of April marks the start of British Summer Time in the UK. As the clocks move forward and the weather generally starts to change for the better, but there’s still cold snaps to contend with where your boiler will need to be called into action.

Furthermore, after being put through their paces in the chilly winter months, even the most sturdy and well-engineered commercial boilers can be worn out and prone to breakdowns at this time of year; meaning you’ll have to plug the gap should this occur. A rental boiler can provide the perfect solution, but how best to make use of such a service? And what should you be looking for in a vendor?

Scalability

It may seem obvious to some, but it is important to consider your specific requirements as a correctly scaled solution will offer the best value. Equally, contracting an inadequate solution just because it might be a little cheaper is a false economy. Taking such risks can soon backfire and affect business and/or productivity, depending on your industry.

When choosing a fire company, look for a well-established temperature control specialist with expert engineers who are able to use their extensive industry knowledge to ensure you get a solution scaled specifically to your business and premises.

Time taken to understand the unique requirements of your company and design a solution in line with your individual specifications but one that can easily be scaled up or down if required is time (and money) well spent.

Eco-friendliness & cost-efficiency

A growing priority for modern, forward-thinking and conscientious businesses, installing environmentally friendly systems has the ability to save you money and bolster public and internal brand image. If you want to be seen as a company with positive ethical values, choosing an eco-friendly rental boiler is a move in the right direction.

Choose from bio-fuel, diesel or gas run systems, enabling you to find a temporary boiler that doesn’t leave a hefty carbon footprint. The added bonus of fuel efficiency is that it goes hand in hand with cost-effectiveness, so your business can operate with a clean conscience, knowing that you’re saving the environment as well as spending wisely.

Rules and regulations

Trying to navigate and keep on the right side of business legislation and regulations surrounding the industrial sector can be overwhelming. Your commercial boiler hire company should have experience supplying systems across a diverse range of industries, institutions and working environments, from hospitals and care homes to manufacturing to pharmaceutical businesses.

Combining knowledge and experience dealing with appropriate regulations and laws along with information gathered through site surveys, your boiler supplier should be able to devise and install a solution that meets your heating and hot water needs whilst protecting your business from falling foul of health and safety as well as ‘green’ legislation.
