Reduce Operating Risk with Fuel-Fired Equipment Assessments
Identify carbon monoxide, combustion and ventilation exposures through onsite assessments that provide actionable findings and recommendations.
Strengthen Fuel-Fired Equipment Operations
Fuel-fired equipment can create carbon monoxide exposures when it is improperly installed, operated or maintained. Zurich Resilience Solutions helps organizations evaluate equipment conditions, room environments and operating practices that may affect employees, visitors and business continuity through structured, onsite fuel-fired equipment safety assessments. The assessment is designed to help facility, property and risk management teams better understand where fuel-fired equipment concerns may exist and what practical steps can help reduce exposure.
Our Risk Engineers evaluate equipment and the areas where they operate, including boiler rooms, pool mechanical rooms, laundry rooms, kitchens and other applicable spaces. The assessment may cover boilers, water heaters, pool and spa heaters, gas-fired dryers, heaters, cooking equipment and other fuel-fired systems. Each review considers carbon monoxide readings, detector placement and function, combustion air, exhaust routing, housekeeping, maintenance practices and visible signs of improper combustion.
Findings are documented in an assessment report with practical recommendations for addressing identified concerns. This structured process helps organizations prioritize corrective actions, strengthen maintenance practices and support a more proactive approach to managing fuel-fired equipment risks. For businesses with multiple locations, a consistent assessment approach can also provide greater visibility across facilities and help identify recurring equipment or operational concerns.
Address Fuel-Fired Equipment Risks
Fuel-fired equipment is essential to many facilities, but issues involving combustion air, ventilation, exhaust systems, carbon monoxide detection and maintenance practices can create safety and operational concerns. Zurich Resilience Solutions provides a structured onsite review to help identify conditions that may contribute to carbon monoxide exposure, equipment performance issues and inconsistent operating practices.
Identify CO Exposure Conditions
Identify equipment and room conditions that may contribute to carbon monoxide exposure.
Review Airflow and Exhaust
Review combustion air, vents and exhaust routing that support safer equipment operation onsite.
Verify CO Detection
Check detector placement, test response and monitoring status within fuel-fired equipment areas.

Spot Combustion Concerns
Identify soot, venting issues and other signs that may indicate improper combustion.
Strengthen Maintenance
Review maintenance records, burner service and cleaning practices that support reliability.
Address Inspection Needs
Identify equipment that may require registration, certification or jurisdictional inspection.
Strengthen Equipment Oversight to Reduce Hazardous Conditions
Managing fuel-fired equipment requires more than reacting after problems occur. Our structured assessment approach helps organizations better understand equipment conditions, operating environments and maintenance practices that may influence safety and performance. Through onsite observations, documented findings and actionable recommendations, organizations can make more informed decisions, prioritize improvements and apply greater consistency across facilities and equipment portfolios.

Fuel Fired Equipment Assessment FAQs
A fuel-fired equipment safety assessment is an onsite review of equipment and surrounding conditions that may contribute to carbon monoxide exposure or unsafe operation. The assessment documents observations and provides recommendations for addressing identified concerns.
The assessment may include hot water boilers, steam boilers, domestic water heaters, pool and spa heaters, gas-fired dryers, gas-fired space heaters, fireplaces, cooking equipment and other fuel-fired systems.
The review may cover boiler rooms, pool mechanical rooms, laundry rooms, kitchens and other areas containing fuel-fired equipment. The Risk Engineer evaluates the equipment as well as ventilation, exhaust, carbon monoxide detection and surrounding room conditions.
The assessment may evaluate carbon monoxide readings, detector placement and function, combustion air, exhaust-stack condition, fuel-valve venting, housekeeping, maintenance records, burner service and visible signs of improper combustion.
If carbon monoxide is present during the assessment, site management is notified so the condition can receive immediate attention. Additional observations and recommendations may also be documented in the assessment report.
Customers receive documented findings that identify observed conditions and applicable recommendations. The report can help facility teams understand concerns, prioritize corrective actions and support follow-up activities.
No. A fuel-fired equipment safety assessment focuses on carbon monoxide exposure, equipment conditions and operating practices. It does not replace a jurisdictionally required boiler or pressure vessel inspection.
