7 Tips to reduce your business’s single biggest expense of operating a steam boiler….Gas !
Following the simple steps below can save you thousands of dollars.
- Take the time to attend your annual boiler inspection (or as a minimum, seek-out the latest boiler inspection report)
- At each inspection, have photos taken by your maintenance personnel and compare the results from year to year
- Do not believe the lie that “a little scale build-up is normal for most boilers”
- Understand that 1mm of scale (like egg shell thickness) can increase your gas consumption by as much as 10%.
- Take the time to look at your gas bill and deduct 10% (or 20-30% more if your scale is 2-3mm thick). This is what you’ll save with better treatment.
- Talk to your water treatment specialist and ask questions why you’re getting scale inside your boiler
- If you’re not satisfied with their response, seek another opinion from another water treatment about ways to remove or prevent scale.
Gas prices have never been higher, so these few simple steps should be your first option to reduce your operating expenses before looking for other areas in your business to improve your bottom line.
