The benefits of Remote Boiler Monitoring

With winter fast approaching, many of us will be turning to our boilers for warmth. The last thing anyone wants is to experience heating issues that could lead to high costs and a freezing home.

As technology progresses, boilers are no exception. Now more than ever has monitoring your boiler and heating system been so easy. Enjoy complete control wherever you are to ensure your boiler is running smoothly.

Remote boiler monitoring gives you the power to check all the major aspects of your boiler with ease, no matter where you are. Along with, seeing lower fuels costs when you have found the optimised system set points.

By viewing the data through an app or online dashboard you can check the vitals of your boiler to prevent any complications from arising. The information can be easily customised so you get exactly what you want, where you want it.

Some systems even come equipped with a notification feature where it will identify a possible problem and alert your device. This way, you don’t need to be constantly checking the data to ensure your heating is running fine.

Here is the full list of data you can access:

• Boiler system operation
• Temperature readings
• Cycle counts
• Run hours

What type of problems may occur?

Boilers are sophisticated bits of machinery that have many elements. Remote boiler monitoring can determine the cause of nearly every issue when it appears. For example, if you haven’t used your heating system for a while, and it is extremely cold, your heating pipes may freeze over. This problem can be easily picked up by remote boiler monitoring and shown to you. An engineer will be able to come and resolve the issue knowing exactly what to expect.

You can also improve efficiency by detecting any parts that are not functioning as expected. Such as, any leaks which could lose you valuable heat, but are small enough not to present a major issue so your system still works. Therefore, once fixed you could be saving massive amounts long-term in heating costs.

Do I need to call an engineer once I notice a problem?

We highly recommend contacting a specialist. Some problems that seem like a quick fix can turn into a nightmare if not done correctly. With trying to save some money in the short-term you could be creating a bigger problem that will ultimately cost you more money in the future.
