Heating maintenance in summer: 5 reasons why you should definitely tackle your heating system
26. may 2021
When the days get warmer, the heating systems in production facilities, warehouses and other indoor buildings are no longer needed for the time being. But after the heating period is before the heating period - which is precisely why the warm summer months are the perfect time to service your heating system so that you can start the next winter without any problems or obstacles.
In this article, we have put together five good reasons why you should service your heating system as early as possible.
Reason 1: It is mandatory that you maintain your heating system regularly
Various standards, technical regulations and also the Building Energy Act recommend that owners of infrared-based hall heating systems regularly maintain and service their heating systems. These are the most important ones:
- Building Energy Act (GEG) § 60
- Gas Appliances Regulation (EU) 2016/426
- Technical rules for gas installations (TRGI)
- DVGW regulations G 638-1 and G 638-2
- Procurement and Contract Regulations for Construction Work (VOB/B)
- Ordinance on the sweeping and inspection of installations (KÜO)
In order to have legal certainty, the legal obligation of the GEG alone should be reason enough to have your heating system serviced annually. But let's look at four other good reasons why maintenance should be a fixed date in your financial year.
Reason 2: Increase availability and productivity by maintaining your heating system
A heating system is in operation for an average of 1,700 hours a year. Compare that with a car. At an average speed of 60 km/h, this operating time would correspond to a mileage of more than 100,000 km per year - unthinkable without an inspection. The same applies to your hall heating system, which is why you should maintain your heating system at regular intervals.
Starting with the good feeling of starting the next heating period safely. Although indoor heating systems from a brand manufacturer are highly resilient and designed for reliable continuous operation, wearing parts must also be replaced regularly. A regular check is important so that you are not caught cold in winter and, in the worst case, production has to come to a standstill. If you expect your heating system to be fully functional at all times, you should service it regularly. In addition, heating maintenance is the best prerequisite for consistently high heating comfort, economical operation, low emission values and for maintaining the value and long life cycle of your system.
Reason 3: Extend your warranty period by having your heating system serviced in accordance with the contract
Another point in favor of having your heating system serviced is the warranty period. If your new heating system has a manufacturer's warranty, this is usually also linked to regular maintenance. Many manufacturers offer you the following within this framework Maintenance contracts to. The statutory warranty period of one year for components in contact with fire is then extended to two years, for example, and the two-year warranty for components not in contact with fire is extended to five years. If you forgo the service contract and neglect heating maintenance, you will also forgo this important benefit. So it's better to play it safe and have your heating system serviced.
Reason 4: Having your heating system serviced saves money and protects the environment
Infrarotheizungen heizen hocheffizient und energiesparend. Je nach Hallenprojekt senken Sie den Energieverbrauch und die entsprechenden Kosten um bis zu 70 % verglichen mit konventionellen Heizgeräten. Auch der CO₂-Ausstoß kann so signifikant minimiert werden. Dieser wirtschaftliche und ökologische Vorteil kann jedoch schleichend verpuffen, wenn Sie Ihre Heizung nicht in regelmäßigen Intervallen warten lassen. Alleine schon eine Ungenauigkeit in der Temperaturanzeige von 1 °C kann einen Mehrverbrauch von 5 bis 7 % bewirken. Zudem können Verunreinigungen oder ein schlecht eingestellter Brenner den Wirkungsgrad der Heizung weiter reduzieren. Nur wenn Sie Ihre Heizung in regelmäßigen Intervallen warten und justieren lassen, wird Energie effizient und schadstoffarm genutzt. Ein Jahresservice spart also nicht nur Ärger, sondern auch bares Geld. Und: Er sorgt für planbare Wartungskosten zu überschaubaren Festpreisen anstelle von unkalkulierbaren Kosten im Störungsfall.
This makes it clear that anyone who does not have their heating system serviced is heating increasingly inefficiently. And Energy efficiency is an important keyword that is firmly anchored in the climate protection targets of the EU and the German government. In order to achieve these goals, companies are required to reduce pollutant emissions when supplying heating and cooling. The basis for this includes energy-efficient buildings and appliances. Anyone tackling their heating maintenance in spring or summer should therefore use this time to uncover potential savings. After all, there is still enough time before the next heating period begins. Can the system structure or hall layout be designed more efficiently? Can heating appliances be optimized with new, digital components or even replaced with more efficient appliances? There are many possibilities.
Die Heizungswartung und Prüfung Ihrer Anlage sollten Sie also definitiv einplanen, wenn Sie die Heizkosten senken und die Wirtschaftlichkeit steigern wollen. Schließlich gilt seit 01. Januar 2021 die CO₂-Steuer, durch die das Heizen mit fossilen Energieträgern Jahr für Jahr kostenintensiver wird. Bauen Sie hier vor und halten Sie durch Wartungen Ihre Hallenheizung auf optimalem Effizienzniveau.
Reason 5: Maintain heating and increase employee satisfaction
The heating check increases the operational safety and reliability of your heating system. If you have your heating system serviced by a specialist in spring or summer, you will have enough time to rectify any faults. This will ensure that your system continues to work reliably in the next heating season - a real plus point for your employees too. After all, their satisfaction and productivity depend to a large extent on the right indoor climate. You can guarantee this with a 100 % functional heating system.
Conclusion: There is nothing to stop you from servicing your heating system at regular intervals
Whichever way you look at it, there are no reasons not to have your heating system serviced. Instead, there are many good reasons for it. More efficiency. Lower heating costs. Increased service life. Extended warranty protection. Greater operational safety and reliability. Higher productivity. And, of course, satisfied employees. With this in mind, it's best to order your heating maintenance immediately afterwards and benefit from all these advantages!

How is energy used correctly? What does efficiency mean? In the German government's current energy policy, there is a huge gap between aspiration and reality. After all, industrial buildings are not treated as industrial buildings because they only account for two percent of buildings - even though they are responsible for 15 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. The latter has not played a role to date. Behind this two percent are 420,000 to 480,000 hall buildings that are used in industry, commerce and municipalities as production halls, logistics halls, workshops, sports halls or sales outlets. A small number that is responsible for a significant proportion of energy consumption and GHG emissions in Germany. -
While Germany is discussing the energy transition, KÜBLER GmbH from Ludwigshafen has already delivered. FUTURA is the name of the latest invention from the experts for hall heating systems - and it works regardless of the energy source: the infrared heating system for halls uses hydrogen, electricity, gas or a mix of these. It can process green and fossil fuels highly efficiently, thus building a bridge to the carbon-free era. This is one of the reasons why the Investitions- und Strukturbank Rheinland-Pfalz (ISB) and the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Transport, Agriculture and Viticulture awarded KÜBLER the special prize "Innovative Technologies for Climate Protection" at the SUCCESS Innovation Award on Tuesday evening. -
