Autumn Maintenance: Prepare Your Plantroom for Winter

As the leaves begin to fall, it’s time to turn our attention to maintaining your HVAC systems. Autumn offers a crucial window for performing essential maintenance before the colder months place additional strain on your systems. This period is perfect for fine-tuning and upgrading your equipment to ensure they are running at peak efficiency for the demanding winter season.

Key Autumn Maintenance Activities:

  1. Optimise with X-POT: Now is the perfect time to install or maintain VEXO’s X-POT Side Stream Filtration device. It ensures your system stays free of harmful debris, improving water quality, and reducing the risk of corrosion and breakdowns when heating systems are needed most.
  2. Clean and Protect with X-PO: Using VEXO’s water treatment additives like X-PO can prevent corrosion and scale build-up in your heating systems. These are critical for ensuring smooth operation and energy efficiency throughout the colder months.
  3. Inspect and Upgrade with Y-MAG: Autumn is an ideal time to inspect and repair any wear and tear that may have developed over the summer months. Checking for leaks, cleaning coils, and upgrading standard y-type strainers to VEXO’s DZR Brass Y-MAG Magnetic Strainer will ensure the functionality of key components like boilers and pumps as well as help preventing breakdowns in winter.
  4. Control and Monitor with S-BMS: With VEXO’s S-BMS (Smart Building Management System), you can optimise energy use and remotely monitor system performance. Ensure your building management systems are configured for winter heating demands.
