School Boiler Replacement

When an existing boiler becomes unreliable, inefficient or beyond economical repair, a planned replacement can reduce running costs, improve comfort across the site and significantly cut the risk of term-time breakdowns. Total Energy Services provides complete school boiler replacement services, managing everything from system assessment and specification through to installation, commissioning and handover.

We have successfully replaced school boilers for an independent school in Blandford, as well as school sites in Iwerne Minster, Bournemouth, Poole, and many other areas across Dorset and the surrounding counties. Our experience in education settings means we understand how to plan works safely and sensitively — often scheduling replacement projects around school holidays and quieter periods to minimise disruption.

For many school boiler plant rooms, we typically install Ideal Commercial boilers, including the highly efficient Ideal Evomax 2, which can be configured in a cascade system. Cascade systems are ideal for schools because they:

  • Improve efficiency by matching output to demand

  • Provide built-in resilience (multiple boilers rather than one single point of failure)

  • Help maintain heating and hot water availability during maintenance

  • Support future expansion if additional buildings are added

School Water Services – Break Tanks, Booster Pumps & Plant Room Support

Many schools use break tanks to store water and protect the mains supply, paired with booster pumps to maintain steady pressure across toilets, washrooms, kitchens, science labs and changing facilities. If these systems fail or are not properly maintained, schools can experience low pressure, loss of water in key areas, pump failures and avoidable call-outs.

Our engineers provide servicing, repairs and optimisation of water services within the plant room to help keep everything running smoothly, safely and efficiently — and we can schedule works around term time, inset days, after-school hours and holidays to minimise disruption.

We can support with:

  • Break tank inspections, servicing and float valve checks

  • Booster pump servicing, fault finding and repairs

  • Pressure regulation and flow optimisation

  • Leak detection and pipework issues

  • Plant room checks including valves, gauges and controls

  • Planned maintenance programmes to prevent downtime

School Boiler Maintenance & Repairs

Reliable heating is essential in schools, particularly during colder months when disruptions can quickly impact comfort, learning and safeguarding. Total Energy Services provides planned school boiler maintenance and repairs, helping prevent breakdowns, improve efficiency and keep systems safe and compliant. Our engineers service and maintain both gas and oil boilers, carrying out thorough inspections, performance checks and proactive fault detection to identify issues early. If a problem does occur, we respond quickly with a repair-first approach, aiming to restore heating and hot water with minimal disruption. We work around your school schedule wherever possible, including term time, inset days and holidays, and provide clear reporting and practical recommendations following every visit.

Heat Pump Installations for Schools

Schools are increasingly looking for lower-carbon heating options that reduce running costs and support sustainability targets. At Total Energy Services, we design and deliver heat pump installations for schools, providing efficient, future-ready systems that are built around your site, occupancy patterns and day-to-day requirements.

We install heat pumps for schools as part of a full heating strategy — whether that’s replacing older plant, upgrading specific buildings, or creating a hybrid system that works alongside existing boilers. Our specialist engineers manage the entire process, from initial survey and heat loss calculations through to design, installation, commissioning and ongoing servicing.

We understand the importance of minimising disruption in education settings, so works can be scheduled around term time, inset days and school holidays, with clear communication throughout. Once installed, we can support long-term performance through planned maintenance, system monitoring and optimisation — ensuring your school heating system operates efficiently year-round.

What our school heat pump service includes:

  • Site survey and system design

  • Air source heat pump installation and commissioning

  • Hybrid heating systems (heat pump + boiler)

  • New pipework, radiators and controls upgrades (where needed)

  • Ongoing servicing, maintenance and optimisation

  • Advice on energy efficiency improvements and long-term savings
