FAQs
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 Steyn City?
Yes. Technicians work out of the central Johannesburg base, which keeps travel time short for northern-suburb call-outs. Work in Steyn City is quoted per unit, with a body-corporate or estate-manager copy of the report where the plant is common property.
