Frequently asked questions
What causes steam boiler pressure problems?
The usual causes are pressure switch out of calibration, modulating burner not staging correctly, carryover from high tds water, undersized steam header for demand. Which one it is can only be confirmed by measurement, not by symptom alone.
How do you diagnose it?
Pressure switch calibration check; Burner modulation observation; Water TDS and alkalinity testing; PRV station inspection. The readings are recorded so the repair decision is based on data.
Can I keep using the system in the meantime?
Usually yes, for a short period, but efficiency and component life are both being lost while the fault persists.
Do you attend this fault in Benmore Gardens Ext?
Yes. Technicians work out of the central Johannesburg base, which keeps travel time short for northern-suburb call-outs. Attendance in Benmore Gardens Ext is grouped with other Sandton call-outs, which usually means a same-day or next-morning slot.
