Property managers across Edmonton count on their boiler systems to keep their buildings—and their tenants!—comfortable. However, have you considered that this crucial system has a limited lifespan? In our experience, too many property managers wait until their system dies completely before even considering a replacement. This leads to costly choices, rushed timelines, and unhappy tenants.
Its time to leave this reactive approach behind. Keep reading to learn more about proactive boiler installation in Edmonton—and how Karlen-Kada can help.
Why Boilers Matter for Edmonton Buildings
For apartment buildings in Edmonton and surrounding areas, boilers remain the heating method of choice. Generally speaking, these systems promise to provide consistent, radiant heat through baseboard units. This makes them particularly well-suited for multi-unit residential buildings—tenants can easily adjust the temperature of their unit which keeps them happy and satisfied all year round.
Your boiler system is just one element of your building’s larger mechanical system, which also includes air conditioning, ventilation, and more.
When to Think About Commercial Boiler Replacements
Here’s the key: don’t wait for an emergency to start thinking about replacing your building’s boiler. Instead, stay educated and start considering replacements early. You should start thinking about scheduling a commercial boiler installation if:
- Your boiler is over 20 years old. While properly maintained boilers can last a long time, key parts will degrade over time, no matter what. Additionally, if your boiler is outdated, it may be difficult to find the proper replacement parts.
- You’ve noticed dramatic changes in your energy bills. Decreased energy efficiency is always a warning sign. If your system is working twice as hard to produce the same output, it is probably time to consider a new and improved unit.
- You have the repair technician on speed dial. If you are making repair calls more often than not, a new commercial boiler installation will probably save you money in the long run.
The Benefit of Proactive Boiler Replacement
Better tenant satisfaction, upgraded energy efficiency, longer equipment lifespan…there are countless reasons why you should start thinking about your commercial boiler replacement early. However, here’s the important part: emergency boiler replacement can cost significantly more than planned installations. In emergency situations, you’ll be on the hook for premium labour rates, rush parts delivery, and unexpected temporary solutions. On the other hand, a planned commercial boiler replacement allows you to:
- Negotiate better rates, especially when you can consider multiple contractors, rather than opting for the first available installation date.
- Schedule during the off-season and completely avoid peak season pricing.
- Budget appropriately rather than facing one extremely large and unexpected expense.
