Introducing the IHS 160 Modular Gas Condensing Boiler

The IHS 160 Modular Gas Condensing Boiler represents a major step forward in temporary heating technology.

As one of the first modular boiler solutions available for hire in the UK, it has been designed to overcome many of the challenges associated with traditional boiler installations. Its compact modular design allows it to be transported through standard lifts, doorways and restricted access routes, helping reduce the need for cranes and complex lifting operations.

Combined with a custom hydraulic skid, Trend BMS compatibility and scalable outputs from 160kW to 640kW, the IHS 160 delivers a flexible, efficient and innovative temporary heating solution for commercial, industrial and public sector applications.

What Is a Modular Boiler?

Unlike traditional packaged boilers, modular boilers are designed to be installed in locations where access is limited.

The IHS 160kW Modular Boiler combines high-efficiency condensing technology with a compact footprint, making it ideal for plant rooms, rooftops, courtyards, basements and other challenging environments.

Paired with our custom hydraulic skid, the system provides a complete temporary heating solution that can be deployed quickly and efficiently.
