If energy costs are rising, is your boiler maintenance improving efficiencies?
In recent weeks and months, we’ve all witnessed price rises in supermarkets, restaurants and shops, but perhaps most prominently at fuel stations.
When Covid 19 first struck and lockdowns began, the price of petrol and diesel stabilised and even dropped. We can recall, from our commercial heating base, in Liverpool, prices around the £1 per litre mark were common and car insurance companies even offered small insurance rebates as people were not travelling to work, because of remote regulations or furlough.
But now …
There was panic buying of petrol and diesel only recently, when the media reported that BP had shortages of tanker drivers and somehow, prices are now 50% higher than 18 months ago, with £1.50 per litre of diesel seemingly the norm.
There’s been doom and gloom warnings too for gas and electricity prices this winter. A perfect storm of Brexit, shortages of key personnel and energy shortages from Europe have meant many families may have to choose between heating or eating.
Now we’re not being political here at all at Commercial Heating Solutions, Liverpool, but stating facts and we all know that higher energy prices are bad news for residential and commercial customers, who are already passing on the costs of higher fuel costs to customers.
Certain places though need heating and cooling, regardless of costs. You can’t expect school children or hospital patients to put on another layer of clothing when the mercury dips and you don’t want the hassle of closing schools when a boiler malfunctions.
Commercial heating installations, repairs and maintenance are what Neil and the team specialise in at our company and you know, and we know, that when winter bites, demand for commercial heating engineers will accelerate.
You and your business, whether in the private or public sector, don’t want to be caught out when a boiler breaks down.
We offer comprehensive commercial heating packages to suit all business sizes across the north west of England.
Whether you’re running a retail outlet, a factory, a workshop, a prison or healthcare setting, you want to be ready for winter and, with rising fuel costs, servicing saves you money.
Think of your heating system like a car. If it was installed in the 1970s, it may be like the Ford Capri – a vintage item, that needs lots of TLC. If it is much much newer, to keep warranties and guarantees in place and ensure many years of service, that Ford Mustang needs to be looked at regularly.
After all, you wouldn’t buy a new car and expect to have no maintenance, repairs or servicing in the first 10 years of life, would you? Ergo, your boiler.
If you’d like to know more about what we offer, contact Neil and the team today and see how he can help you with your commercial needs this winter and beyond.
