Inspection and maintenance
Due to HIUs being an inherently low maintenance space heating system,
the recommendation from BSRIA BG 62/2015 that a maintenance
check every 3 years should be sufficient.
BSRIA inspection and maintenance procedure guidance recommends at
least the following checks are carried out.
• No leaks associated with HIU or secondary distribution.
• Primary isolation valves are operable.
• Internal strainers are clear.
• Supply differential above required minimum.
• Thermal insulation is intact.
• Control valves respond to demand signals for heating and hot water.
• Supply temperatures to heating and hot water are as when the unit
was commissioned.
• Check mains pressure storage water heater safety valve (where
fitted).
• Heat meter registers demand (or replace and commission new heat
meter if scheduled).
• Consumer is satisfied with heating and hot water performance.
