Boiler Monitoring
Connected technology offers numerous advantages for social housing providers including improving efficiency, cost savings, and ensuring the well-being of residents.
Boiler monitoring ensures the safety of residents by continuously monitoring the boiler’s performance and detecting any malfunctions or potential hazards. It also enables efficient energy usage and allows housing providers to have a better understanding of their assets.
The ability to monitor a boiler’s health, and even fix a fault remotely, saves both time and money while also delivering a far better service for the customer.

The Vericon Solution
Connected technology allows for real-time monitoring of a boiler’s performance, enabling providers to detect issues in their early stages. With constant updates on the functioning of the boiler, it becomes easier to identify inefficiencies and potential problems, allowing for timely maintenance or repairs.
This proactive approach not only extends the life of the boilers but also mitigates the risk of more costly and time consuming problems later down the line.
BCM
Connected Boiler Control and Performance Data
Monitor Multiple Sites
Connected technology enables housing providers to monitor multiple sites simultaneously.
Our centralised system streamlines the management process and allows technicians to prioritise their workload effectively based on urgency and location. Such an approach reduces time consuming on-site visits while increasing overall productivity and minimising downtime.
Boiler Telemetry
Inside the Vericon portal, users can access a wealth of boiler data to better understand the boiler’s operation and performance.
This data empowers users to make informed decisions, carry out predictive maintenance and optimise their boiler systems across a full portfolio.
Real time Fault Notifications & Predictive Maintenace
Current management of housing stock relies on residents being affected and raising issues, whereas the true objective should be to ensure that residents remain unaffected at all costs. Maintain housing stock proactively by using real-time notifications to address issues before residents are impacted, reducing emergency call outs and shifting to planned maintenance.
When an asset enters a fault condition or fails a test the results are immediately sent to the Connect cloud services where the results are interrogated. These notifications are then sent to the appropriate responder to ensure any remedial works are planned or an engineer dispatched.
Boiler Fault Reporting
Once the boiler telemetry has been evaluated, Vericon’s automated boiler fault report can be downloaded from the portal.
In the report you can see the number of boiler faults reported and the avergae time taken to rectifiy the problem.
Fuel Bills and Energy Reduction
Boiler modulation is an efficient method for reducing energy consumption, carbon emissions, and fuel costs, while also prolonging the lifespan of the boiler. This process involves reducing the air and gas flow into the burner, thereby decreasing the boiler’s heat output. Vericon has developed modulation curves for all types of boilers and, with the assistance of an OpenTherm thermostat our innovative technology can effectively and efficiently modulate any connected boiler, regardless of the make or model.
Expansion Vessel Faults
Other than faults occurring under pressure, the most common issue, according to national wholesalers, is a damaged expansion vessel. To avoid the need for emergency call-outs at the start of the heating season, it is recommended to test the expansion vessel prior to a service.
This can be easily achieved by conducting an expansion vessel test before an engineer attends a property for a Gas Safety Test. BCM can remotely activate the boiler and heat the property for an hour while closely observing any pressure changes within the system.
