Boilers are equipment generally used in the industrial sector, which are designed to generate steam and handle liquids at high temperature and pressure levels (usually water). Despite the fact that this service provides multiple advantages and solutions in several industrial sectors, a series of myths have been generated around boiler repair. Below, we will mention some of the myths surrounding this type of specialized service.
High costs
Many people have come to believe that boiler repair services require a high investment to get a boiler up and running again. However, the truth is that the cost is usually related to a high level of expertise and labor time on the part of the service provider, which can be beneficial in most cases since the cost of a repair is lower, especially when compared to the benefits that an optimally functioning industrial boiler system can provide.
The repair does not meet quality standards
Many people have come to believe that boiler repair does not meet the quality standards of official organizations. However, the truth is that there are currently organizations that accredit companies so that they can repair boilers under strict regulations. One of the most recognized organizations worldwide is the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), which has created the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code BPVC.
In the case of boiler repair service in Canada, the specialized company must have Class A certification, which is granted by organizations such as the British Columbia Safety Authority, which allows the necessary handling and changes of the required parts, in addition to the R-Stamp certificate that allows carrying out repairs and modifications in boilers and pressure retaining elements.
Repair increases the level of accident risk
Another of the most common myths about boiler repair is that because boilers are considered highly dangerous and accident-prone equipment when they are repaired, their level of danger increases, and, therefore, there is a greater risk of causing accidents. However, boiler repair can only be carried out under the guidelines of strict safety norms and standards, which guarantee that there will be no explosion or any type of leakage that could cause an accident, both for people and for the infrastructure or work area.

Any company can repair boilers
Some companies and individuals have come to believe that any company can provide boiler repair services. However, the truth is that the company that provides the service must not only have certifications to be able to carry out such activity but must also have the ability to manufacture any element or part that makes up a boiler (especially if it is necessary to replace any part). Generally, the companies that provide boiler repair services are also boiler manufacturers, which means that the company has the competencies to deal with any complex problem related to industrial boilers.
Boilers do not require repairs
Some people think that boilers cannot have their components changed and that they do not require repairs. However, the truth is that there are companies specialized in the service of industrial boilers, which include the repair of boilers, in addition to the fact that boilers are machines composed of several elements that can be replaced, as long as this activity is carried out by a certified company.
