Boiler Maintenance Check list!


A Check List for Planned Preventive Maintenance

P. C. McKenzie Company offers planned preventive maintenance services for a number of industrial and commercial boiler installations. Although each installation is unique there are some common maintenance steps that our service group follows. 

Even though not all of these steps apply to every boiler design, we thought they might prove helpful in designing a planned preventive maintenance check list for your facility.  

  • Open front and rear doors. Clean and vacuum fireside surfaces as required.
  • Inspect all refractory. Patch and wash coat as required.

  • Remove low and auxiliary low water cut off controls, clean and inspect. Then re-install using new gaskets.
