The space heating systems installed and utilized in commercial buildings can vary greatly not only in general type but scope and capacity and functionality.  A very experienced inspector or reviewer very well may recognize most types of space heating systems utilized, but often the opinion of a seasoned expert is still beneficial. 

Important items and conditions of note in regards to space heating systems include the type of fuel utilized to create the heat as in electricity vs. natural gas or heating oil, the delivery method as in forced air or convection or radiation, and the typical efficiencies of the various systems.  All the aforementioned aspects play a role when determining the condition and longevity of an installed heating system. 

While it is important to observe and report upon the individual replaceable portions and components of a system it is also very beneficial to note the overall longevity and efficiency of the system where applicable.  Determining accurate repair and replacement costs associated with building heating systems should be fundamental to any commercial property inspection or property condition assessment.

As a with any building system commonly found on a commercial property routine inspection and condition assessment followed by application of proper maintenance materials and techniques is of utmost importance in ensuring the longevity of any space heating system.

Examples: boiler, forced air, radiant heating, convection, fan powered, heat pump, breach and venting, pipe insulation, heating loops, circulating pumps, gas supply, packaged rooftop units, air handlers, hot water coils.
