The Importance of Reliable Heating
As temperatures drop, the reliability of your residents’ heating systems becomes paramount. Pressure-related issues are all too common, leading to costly repairs, inconvenient breakdowns, and unhappy residents. In fact, under-pressure faults are the most common reason for boiler faults, resulting in systems shutting down and leaving residents without heating or hot water until the issue is resolved. According to Rightio, up to 45% of people have experienced a boiler breakdown in the winter, highlighting the importance of proactive maintenance during the colder months.
The Cost of Under-Pressure Faults
When under-pressure faults occur, they often require immediate attention from an engineer. This can lead to increased costs for emergency callouts, not to mention the inconvenience and potential disruption for residents. By preventing these faults from occurring in the first place, social housing providers can avoid these unnecessary expenses and ensure residents stay warm and comfortable.
Introducing Vericon’s AutoFill
Vericon Systems’ AutoFill is the intelligent solution you need. This innovative device intelligently monitors and automatically repressurises central heating systems, preventing pressure-related issues before they become major headaches. With real-time notifications and alerts, your team can conduct proactive maintenance to keep systems in optimal condition – no matter the temperature outside. AutoFill records each top-up made, along with the corresponding date and time, providing a clear history of maintenance activities.
Proactive Maintenance with AutoFill
If another top-up is required within 90 days, the system will flag it for an engineer to attend to, ensuring potential issues are addressed promptly. In the event of a third top-up being necessary, AutoFill will deactivate the device and immediately alert an engineer to ensure urgent assistance and prevent any further top-ups, minimising downtime and disruption for residents.
Benefits of Partnering with Vericon Systems
AutoFill is universally compatible with traditional boilers, making it the perfect addition to your existing infrastructure. By partnering with Vericon Systems, you’ll not only streamline your heating maintenance but also enhance resident satisfaction, reduce costs, and stay compliant.
