Boiler and Equipment Maintenance from HSB

When winter approaches, municipalities and public schools begin to fire-up their heating boilers. When proper lay-up procedures and start up procedures are followed, boilers and heating systems are more likely to have a smooth transition into the new heating season. Systems that have been unattended all summer may or may not have a smooth transition and may not operate at optimum efficiency.
CIRMA's equipment reinsurance partner, The Hartford Steam Boiler Company, has provided CIRMA Liability-Auto-Property members expert resources to assist facilities personnel in preparing for the winter heating season.

Heating Boiler Logs
are beneficial for facilities staff to use when monitoring their heating boiler operations. A log can identify potential issues before they become costly repairs or worse, interrupt school or municipal operations. No matter the age of the boiler, keeping a boiler log to track critical operating parameters will reduce the potential for failure and also improve energy efficiency.

Heating Boiler Start-up Checklist provides tips from HSB's loss prevention inspectors to help CIRMA members avoid the most common heating boiler problems by means of strategic maintenance. As a business equipment insurance specialist, HSB has investigated thousands of boiler failures resulting in claims as high as $300,000. Their experience shows that trouble often starts with a leak which probably will not appear dramatic; it could be simply a damp spot or puddle on the floor. CIRMA recommends that that members download the checklist and review it before the start of the heating season to help preserve and extend the useful life of town or school's boilers.

Index of Equipment Maintenance Checklists A list of additional technical checklists for boilers, air conditioning systems, and other building systems.

In addition to the Heating Boiler Logs and Heating Boiler Start-up Checklist links above, CIRMA's School Energy Efficiency Portal has valuable information on maintaining equipment, increasing efficiency, and reducing costs.
