Why Regular Servicing Is Crucial for Commercial Gas Systems

When it comes to commercial properties, gas systems are the unseen powerhouse keeping everything running, from heating large spaces to fuelling industrial processes and commercial kitchens. But like any high-demand system, they need regular care. At DHC Heating, we’ve seen first-hand how routine servicing makes the difference between a smooth operation and costly disruption.

Here’s why regular servicing isn’t optional—it’s essential.

1. Safety First: Protecting People and Property

Commercial gas systems carry high loads and, if neglected, can pose serious safety risks such as:

  • Gas leaks

  • Carbon monoxide build-up

  • Combustion faults

  • Fire hazards

A regular service includes checking all connections, testing safety controls, and ensuring ventilation systems are working properly. These inspections catch issues before they become dangerous—keeping your team, customers, and property safe.

2. Maximise Efficiency & Reduce Costs

Over time, even the best gas systems experience wear and tear. Dirty burners, faulty valves, and poor combustion efficiency can all result in:

  • Higher energy bills

  • Slower system performance

  • Reduced equipment lifespan

Our expert engineers fine-tune components, clean parts, and ensure your system is operating at peak performance—saving you money on both fuel and future repairs.

3.  Stay Legally Compliant

If you own or manage a commercial building, you’re legally responsible for ensuring your gas appliances and systems are:

  • Safe to use

  • Inspected by Gas Safe registered engineers

  • Properly documented

For many businesses, annual servicing is a legal requirement under Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Failure to comply can result in:

  • Fines or prosecution

  • Insurance complications

  • Closure notices from local authorities

With DHC Heating, you get full certification and peace of mind knowing your systems are fully compliant.

4.  Avoid Unplanned Downtime

Unexpected breakdowns don’t just cause stress—they disrupt operations, delay work, and damage your bottom line. Regular servicing helps:

  • Identify minor issues early

  • Prevent sudden failures

  • Plan maintenance around your schedule

In short: it’s proactive, not reactive.

5. It’s an Investment—Not a Cost

Think of regular servicing as a long-term investment in:

  • Safety

  • Efficiency

  • Compliance

  • Reliability

For many of our clients, the savings on emergency repairs and fuel bills alone far outweigh the cost of routine servicing.

We’re a team built on trust, technical excellence, and a commitment to doing the job right—first time, every time.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what makes DHC Heating different, and why so many clients across Derby trust us with their commercial systems.

Many companies offer “commercial heating” as just one part of a long list of services. At DHC Heating, this is our core focus. We specialise in:

  • Commercial gas systems

  • Industrial and factory heating solutions

  • Gas catering equipment for restaurants and commercial kitchens

This focus means you’re getting engineers who understand the specific pressures and compliance requirements of commercial environments—because it’s all we do.

  • Respect for your workspace and time

We don’t cut corners. We don’t leave until the job’s done right. And we always explain things in plain English.

3. Real People, Real Service

When you call DHC Heating, you speak to a human—often someone who’s worked on your site before. We pride ourselves on:

Factory Heating – Productivity and Product Quality

When people think about factory heating, they usually focus on basic comfort or compliance. But the truth is, the impact goes much deeper, affecting how well your team works and the quality of what you produce.

At DHC Heating, we’ve worked with countless factories and manufacturing facilities, and we’ve seen first-hand how the right heating system can transform day-to-day operations.

Here’s why your heating setup is not just a utility—it’s a strategic advantage.

1. Comfortable Staff = Productive Staff

Factory workers often spend long hours in physically demanding environments. If they’re too cold in winter—or even worse, working in areas with inconsistent temperatures—it can lead to:

  • Lower morale

  • Higher fatigue

  • Increased sick days

  • Slower performance

A well-designed heating system creates a consistently comfortable environment, which helps maintain focus, stamina, and morale across every shift.

2. Mental Alertness and Safety Go Hand in Hand

Working with machinery or handling materials requires concentration and quick reflexes. Cold environments can lead to:

  • Sluggish mental performance

  • Stiff joints and slower reaction times

  • Increased risk of accidents or errors

Proper heating keeps staff physically alert and safe—especially in environments where health and safety is critical.

3. Heating Affects More Than People—It Affects Products

In many manufacturing and industrial processes, temperature control is essential for product quality.

Poor or uneven heating can cause:

  • Warping of materials

  • Adhesives failing to bond

  • Moisture build-up or condensation

  • Inconsistent curing or drying

From electronics to food processing, plastics to paints, a stable internal environment means better, more consistent outputs.

4. Zonal Heating = Operational Efficiency

Modern factories often have multiple work zones—warehousing, production lines, admin areas. Heating these areas evenly (or strategically, depending on the function) ensures:

  • Energy isn’t wasted heating unused spaces

  • Specific processes get the environment they require

  • Staff comfort is maintained without compromising efficiency

At DHC Heating, we specialise in zoned heating solutions that give you control and savings, without sacrificing performance.

5. Reduce Downtime and Equipment Stress

Extreme cold doesn’t just affect people—it impacts machinery, systems, and materials. Regular cold starts or poor environmental conditions can:

  • Shorten equipment lifespan

  • Increase maintenance needs

  • Slow down start-up times in the morning

A properly maintained factory heating system means everything is ready to go—day in, day out.

Gas Safety Compliance You Can Trust

In commercial and industrial settings, gas safety isn’t just about keeping your premises warm — it’s about protecting your people, your property, and your business reputation. UK law requires that all gas appliances, pipework, and flues in commercial buildings are maintained in a safe condition and checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

At DHC Heating, we take these responsibilities seriously. We are fully Gas Safe registered, and our engineers are trained to work on complex commercial systems that many general heating engineers simply aren’t qualified to touch. Every job we undertake — whether it’s a routine check or a major installation — is carried out to the highest industry standards, ensuring safety, efficiency, and full compliance.

Here’s how we help Derby businesses stay compliant and confident:

Annual Gas Safety Checks
We conduct full inspections of commercial heating systems, appliances, and pipework to identify any safety risks or faults. You’ll receive a Gas Safety Certificate (CP42 or CP15) on completion — perfect for audits, insurance, and peace of mind.

Boiler Servicing & Certification
Regular servicing not only extends the life of your system but ensures it’s running efficiently and safely. We clean, test, and calibrate your commercial boilers to manufacturer standards and provide full service documentation.

Installation of High-Efficiency Commercial Gas Heating Systems
Need to upgrade or replace an outdated system? We design and install modern, energy-efficient heating systems that comply with current building and gas safety regulations — helping you lower emissions and reduce costs.

System Upgrades & Controls
From smart thermostats to zoning controls and energy monitoring systems, we help businesses future-proof their heating setups with the latest tech — all installed and configured to meet regulatory standards.

When you partner with DHC Heating, you’re not just ticking a compliance box — you’re choosing safety, performance, and long-term reliability. Whether you manage a single site or multiple commercial properties across Derbyshire, we’ll help you stay safe, legal, and efficient every step of the way.

Why Your Factory Heating System Needs a Check-up

As a business owner or factory manager, you know just how crucial your heating system is to your operations—especially during the colder months. A properly functioning heating system is not just a matter of comfort; it’s essential to keeping your factory running smoothly and your staff productive. With temperatures dropping well below freezing this winter, any unexpected loss of heating can wreak havoc on staff morale, manufacturing processes, and even the integrity of stored goods.

But there’s more to consider than just keeping the heat on. With energy prices hitting an all-time high, it’s equally important to ensure that your heating system is running efficiently. Wasting energy not only drives up your utility costs but can also impact your business’s overall profitability.

At DHC Heating, we understand the challenges businesses face in ensuring their heating systems are both reliable and cost-effective. That’s why we offer expert industrial factory heating services in Derby, designed to keep your system operating at its best—no matter how cold it gets outside.

Here are some of the key reasons why regular checks and audits are essential for your factory’s heating system:

1. Avoid Unplanned Downtime

Any downtime in your heating system can quickly translate to downtime for your business. A sudden breakdown during sub-zero temperatures can halt production, disrupt staff work conditions, and even damage products or equipment that require stable temperatures. Preventing these issues before they arise is crucial to maintaining a smooth workflow.

2. Improve Energy Efficiency

With energy prices soaring, inefficient heating systems can become a major cost burden. Wasted energy is money down the drain, so it’s vital to ensure your system is operating as efficiently as possible. DHC Heating offers comprehensive audits to identify areas where your heating system could be optimized, ensuring you’re not spending more than you need to.

3. Properly Set Thermostats and Timers

A surprising number of factories struggle with incorrectly set thermostats or timers, leading to unnecessary heating. Whether it’s thermostats that aren’t calibrated correctly or timers that don’t align with operational schedules, these small issues can lead to excessive energy use. Our team at DHC Heating can ensure that your system is correctly set up to provide maximum benefit while reducing waste.

What We Offer

At DHC Heating, we provide tailored industrial heating services for factories across Derby, focusing on maximizing both efficiency and reliability. Our services include:
✅ Thorough Heating Audits – We assess the entire system, including thermostats, timers, and energy consumption, to identify areas for improvement.
✅ System Optimization – We’ll ensure your heating system is working at peak efficiency, saving you money on energy bills.
✅ Safety Checks – We also perform comprehensive safety checks to prevent potential hazards and ensure that your system is operating safely.

Let Us Help You Stay Warm and Efficient This Winter

With winter in full swing and energy prices on the rise, now is the time to ensure that your factory’s heating system is up to the task. Don’t let a poorly functioning system disrupt your business. Contact DHC Heating for a full audit and service to ensure your factory is operating efficiently and cost-effectively this winter.
