When it comes to maintaining reliable heating and hot water in commercial and industrial environments, temporary boiler hire must go beyond just providing a unit. At Ideal Heat Solutions, we deliver fully integrated boiler systems complete with all critical ancillaries and components — tailored for efficient, compliant, and uninterrupted operation across a wide range of sites.
From energy-efficient electric boilers to packaged systems with high hot water demand support, our solutions are engineered for flexibility, ease of installation, and performance.
Electric, Packaged and Slimline Condensing Boilers
Electric Boilers
Ideal for environments where low noise, low emissions, and compact installation are essential, our electric boilers range from 15kW to 36kW. These are perfect for applications such as screed drying and underfloor heating.
Electric boilers operate without the need for combustion, making them highly suitable for indoor use and areas with strict emission regulations. With zero on-site emissions and minimal maintenance, they are a preferred option for temporary heating where environmental control and space are priorities.
Packaged Boilers
Packaged boilers are self-contained units supplied in containerised plant rooms, ranging from 250kW up to 1.5MW. These systems are designed for fast deployment and can be delivered as plug-and-play solutions. They include integral components such as pumps, pressurisation units, and safety controls, reducing the need for external connections or third-party equipment.
Packaged boiler hire is ideal for facilities requiring high-capacity heating and hot water — including hospitals, schools, manufacturing plants, and commercial premises.
Slimline Condensing Boilers
For sites with restricted access or where installation space is at a premium, our slimline condensing boilers — available from 140kW to 300kW — offer high efficiency in a compact design. These units are particularly effective for temporary plant rooms and installations where traditional boilers would be too large or difficult to position.
Condensing technology ensures energy recovery from flue gases, reducing overall fuel usage and lowering operational costs.
Fuel Flexibility: IHO, Natural Gas, and HVO
To meet a variety of operational and environmental requirements, Ideal Heat Solutions offers boilers compatible with three main fuel types:
- IHO (Industrial Heating Oil): A reliable, widely used fuel for temporary boiler systems.
- Natural Gas: Clean-burning and cost-effective, especially where a gas main is available.
- HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil): A renewable diesel alternative that enables clients to reduce carbon emissions without compromising performance.
All systems are paired with bunded fuel tanks and remote telemetry, enabling us to monitor usage and coordinate fuel deliveries without disrupting site operations.
Heating and/or Hot Water: Configured to Your Needs
Our temporary boiler systems can be set up to provide space heating, domestic hot water (DHW), or both. From critical healthcare environments requiring consistent hot water to industrial spaces needing fast-response heating, our systems are configured specifically for each site’s needs.
When DHW demand is high — such as in hotels, schools, and hospitals — we also provide calorifiers and dedicated DHW PHEs to ensure sufficient hot water volume and recovery rates.
Key System Components for Safe and Efficient Operation
To maximise reliability and system performance, Ideal Heat Solutions integrates the following components with all boiler installations:
Grundfos Pumps
As standard, our boilers include Grundfos circulation pumps — renowned for their reliability and efficiency. These ensure optimal flow of heated water throughout the system, supporting consistent delivery to end points.
Pressurisation Units
Pressurisation systems maintain the correct pressure in closed-loop boiler systems. This protects against air ingress, water loss, and pressure drops, ensuring safe and stable system operation.
Expansion Vessels
All systems include expansion vessels to compensate for the increase in water volume as temperatures rise. This protects pipework and system integrity, particularly in high-output installations.
Magnetic Filtration
To prevent the build-up of scale, sludge, and metallic particles, we install magnetic filtration units in every system. This not only extends the life of the equipment but also supports energy efficiency and reduces the risk of unplanned maintenance.
Trend BMS – Remote Monitoring
Trend Building Management Systems (BMS) are fitted as standard to all packaged boilers. This allows real-time remote monitoring of performance data, fault diagnostics, and temperature trends. With access to our support team 24/7, clients benefit from fast resolution and proactive system adjustments without the need for on-site intervention.
Ancillaries for Complete Boiler System Delivery
Plate Heat Exchangers (PHEs)
PHEs are used to separate temporary boiler systems from the client’s permanent heating or hot water infrastructure. This protects sensitive pipework, mitigates contamination risks, and allows for independent control of temperatures and flow rates.
PHEs also facilitate integration with modern heating systems and district heating networks, offering flexibility across a wide range of sectors.
DHW Packages (PHE for Hot Water)
For projects that require large volumes of hot water, we offer DHW packages that use plate heat exchangers to generate hot water quickly and efficiently. These are ideal for temporary washroom facilities, accommodation blocks, healthcare settings, and catering environments.
Calorifiers
Calorifiers are hot water storage vessels that work in tandem with boilers to provide DHW on demand. They’re particularly effective for sites with fluctuating demand or limited mains water pressure. Our calorifiers are available in multiple sizes and can be specified based on recovery rates and peak demand requirements.
Air Handling Units (AHUs)
When a site requires warm air rather than hot water, we can connect our boilers to Air Handling Units. AHUs allow large volumes of warm, fume-free air to be ducted into marquees, studios, warehouses, or public buildings. These units can be installed internally or externally and are a standalone solution for space heating in temporary structures.
Fuel Tanks with Remote Telemetry
All temporary boiler installations can be supplied with fully bunded fuel tanks equipped with telemetry systems. These systems monitor fuel levels in real time, providing alerts when refuelling is needed. This removes the burden from clients and ensures continuous system operation.
Stainless Steel Hoses
To guarantee leak-free, secure, and pressure-rated connections between the boiler and the existing system, we provide stainless steel hosework. These are robust, easy to install, and suitable for a wide range of site conditions.
Booster Pumps
For installations with extended pipework runs or complex hydraulic arrangements, booster pumps ensure consistent pressure and flow. We assess each site individually and specify pump sizes to maintain optimal performance throughout the system.
A Fully Integrated Approach
At Ideal Heat Solutions, our boiler hire services are not just about delivering a heating unit — they’re about providing a fully integrated, engineered solution that meets each site’s technical, operational, and environmental demands. From compact electric boilers to high-output packaged systems with full ancillaries and monitoring, we deliver heating and hot water systems that are fully compliant, efficient, and ready to perform from day one.
