1.Your existing system is inefficient
When it comes to plant heating, efficiency is key. Using efficient equipment can save your company a lot of money in the long run, and it’s better for the environment. If you know that your existing system is inefficient and in need of repair, it may be worthwhile to consider replacing your heating oil system.
2. Your Existing System Uses Helical Coil Technology
Helical coils are common in most manufacturers’ thermal oil heaters. However, there are many reasons why serpentine coils are a better choice when it comes to thermal fluid heating. Helical coils can be very expensive and time consuming to repair, so in many cases you are better off investing in new equipment – it is well worth it to consider a new hot oil system with serpentine coil technology.
3. Your existing system has proven to be unreliable
An unreliable heating system can threaten your productivity and therefore your profitability. If your current system has problems that are difficult to diagnose, has multiple components that need repair and attention, or has repeated failures, it may be time to consider replacing your entire thermal oil heating system.
4. Your current system is outdated
Technology in the industrial heating industry is constantly evolving. If you are having problems with your system and you think it may be time to update, you may be right. Outdated equipment is inefficient and difficult to repair.
5. You are interested in improving profitability over time
An old, outdated system that needs repair is far from effective. If you want to improve efficiency and profitability in the long run, investing in brand new heating equipment may be a useful step. While purchasing a new heat transfer oil heater or heating system is certainly an expense, the investment you make now will help you increase profits and productivity over time.
6. You are finding the best value for your investment
Depending on what needs to be repaired, heating oil system components can cost as much as 75% of the replacement cost to repair. In these cases, replacement is usually the better investment because in most cases it provides more value for your outlay over time by providing greater efficiency, reliability and profitability in the long run.
