Common Plant Room Problems and How to Avoid Them

Plant rooms are the hidden heart of many commercial and industrial sites, responsible for heating, hot water, and critical building services. But when something goes wrong in the plant room, the whole site feels it. At AH Control Ltd, we specialise in keeping plant rooms operating efficiently and reliably.

1. Poor Combustion Efficiency

One of the most common issues is inefficient combustion, often due to poor burner maintenance or incorrect air-to-fuel ratios. This leads to high fuel costs, increased emissions, and premature equipment failure.

Our Solution: Regular combustion analysis, burner tuning, and installation of oxygen trim controls to maintain peak efficiency.

2. Control System Failures

A faulty control panel or Building Management System (BMS) can cause operational headaches, from temperature fluctuations to system shutdowns.

Our Solution: Routine inspection and servicing of control panels, sensors, and safety interlocks, plus upgrades to modern, reliable systems where needed.

3. Inadequate Maintenance

Lack of preventive maintenance leads to breakdowns, costly repairs, and unplanned downtime.

Our Solution: Tailored maintenance packages to keep your plant room operating efficiently and reliably year-round.

4. Compliance Gaps

Outdated or poorly maintained systems often fail to meet current safety and emissions standards, leaving you at risk of penalties.

Our Solution: Compliance inspections, combustion tuning, and system upgrades to ensure you meet all legal requirements.

5. Aging Equipment

Older boilers, burners, and control panels become less efficient and more prone to failure over time.

Our Solution: Expert advice on system replacements and energy-efficient upgrades to future-proof your plant room.
