Carl Webb, HVAC Sales director at Andrews Sykes, discusses the importance of boiler reliability in the healthcare sector, and the implications of boiler performance ‘falling short’.
Healthcare is one of the UK’s most highly regulated sectors – and with good reason. Every aspect of a hospital’s operations is scrutinised in great detail, with each activity, proposal, or solution, the subject of an intense appraisal. Naturally, this process extends to the recommendation and implementation of various facilityrelated requirements – including the deployment of HVAC equipment – underlining the importance of using contractors and suppliers with a genuine pedigree in the field of healthcare.
Given the high sensitivity of healthcare environments, it is hardly surprising that there is strict legislation regarding the safety and efficiency of boiler arrangements deployed on site. Those responsible for procuring such equipment must consider an increasing number of factors before deciding upon the best solution. Selecting the correct boiler is a critical decision for hospitals up and down the country, due in no small part to the fact that making the wrong choice can have long-term ramifications. Opting for the most suitable unit at the first time of asking will guarantee substantial savings on both energy and operational costs.
