A commercial boiler is a necessary part of any business that uses one or more boilers to heat water or produce steam for other uses.

3) Test the Safety Valves Monthly - The safety valves on your boiler should be tested monthly to ensure they are working properly.

If you do not hear a hissing sound, or if the valve does not stay open, it needs to be replaced immediately.

4) Test the Automatic Water Feeder Monthly - The automatic water feeder on your boiler should also be tested monthly.

If it does not shut off automatically, it needs to be replaced immediately.
