Fire Safety Risk
An uninspected boiler poses explosion and fire risks. Boilers operate under pressure and at high temperatures. Without regular professional inspection, dangerous conditions such as corroded vessels, faulty pressure relief valves, or gas leaks can develop undetected. Boiler explosions, while rare, are catastrophic — capable of destroying entire buildings.
Legal Requirements
Power boilers and high pressure/high temperature boilers must have a current insurance inspector's boiler report completed annually. Low pressure steam or vapor heating boilers must be inspected biannually. The current boiler certificate must be available on the premises at all times.
Legal Basis
61C-1.004(9) FAC — The heating and ventilation system shall be kept in good repair or be installed to maintain a minimum of 68 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the building. The insurance inspector's boiler report is required annually for power boilers and high pressure/high temperature boilers and biannually for low pressure steam or vapor heating boilers and shall be posted in the boiler room.
