TEMPORARY 500kW GAS BOILER HIRE SOLUTION FOR GOVERNMENT FACILITY

ENSURING CONTINUOUS DOMESTIC HOT WATER SUPPLY FOR A GOVERNMENT CATERING BLOCK

A Government facility in Hampshire required a temporary domestic hot water solution to keep its catering block fully operational. The site is managed by a national HVAC contractor, who regularly partners with Ideal Heat Solutions for cooling hire during the summer months.

On this occasion, the requirement was for temporary boiler hire to maintain uninterrupted domestic hot water supply, ensuring catering services could continue without disruption.

Ideal Heat Solutions was appointed to design and install a reliable temporary boiler solution that would integrate seamlessly with the existing system.
