Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is gaining popularity as a cleaner, more sustainable alternative to traditional heating oils. Made from renewable sources such as vegetable oils and animal fats, HVO can reduce carbon emissions by up to 90% compared to conventional fossil fuels.
For oil boiler users, the transition to HVO is relatively straightforward. In most cases, it can be used as a direct drop-in replacement for kerosene or gas oil with little to no modification to the boiler system. This means businesses and organisations can continue using their existing boiler infrastructure while significantly lowering their carbon footprint.
HVO is also highly stable, has a long shelf life, and burns more cleanly, helping to reduce soot build-up and maintenance requirements. For companies aiming to meet net-zero goals or reduce reliance on fossil fuels, switching to HVO provides an immediate, practical step toward greener operations without compromising performance.

At Ideal Heat Solutions, we know how critical reliable heating is for commercial and industrial sites. Even the best-maintained systems can encounter faults, and when they do, downtime can be costly. Here are six of the most common issues we see with commercial boilers:
Low Pressure – Caused by leaks, faulty valves, or system bleeding, low pressure reduces performance and efficiency.
No Heat or Hot Water – Thermostat faults, airlocks, or failed motorised valves can leave businesses without heating or hot water.
Strange Noises – Whistling, banging, or gurgling noises often point to limescale build-up (kettling), trapped air, or pump issues.
Leaks and Drips – Seals, pipes, or pressure relief valves may wear over time, leading to water escaping and potential damage.
Pilot Light or Ignition Failure – Gas supply issues, draughts, or faulty components can prevent ignition.
Thermostat Problems – Inaccurate or unresponsive thermostats affect comfort levels and system efficiency.
If your boiler encounters any of these problems, Ideal Heat Solutions can provide a fast response. From emergency boiler hire to planned maintenance and upgrades, our expert team ensures your site remains heated and operational. We offer 24/7 support, with temporary boilers delivered, installed, and managed for complete peace of mind.
At Ideal Heat Solutions, we regularly provide both commercial and industrial boiler hire, and while the two serve the same purpose — providing reliable heating and hot water — they are designed for very different environments.
Commercial Boilers are most often hired for buildings such as schools, hospitals, leisure centres, and hotels. These systems typically operate at outputs below 1,000 kW, making them ideal for supporting central heating and hot water demands across multiple occupants. Our commercial boiler hire fleet is compact, efficient, and designed for seamless integration with systems like Trend BMS for full control and monitoring.
Industrial Boilers, however, are built for larger, process-driven applications such as refineries, manufacturing plants, and power generation. With outputs exceeding 1,000 kW, they are engineered to withstand high pressures and continuous operation. When clients face unexpected downtime or planned outages, our industrial boiler hire solutions provide the scale, durability, and 24/7 resilience required to keep critical processes running.
Whether your requirement is commercial or industrial, Ideal Heat Solutions delivers more than just the equipment. From logistics, cranage, and installation, through to ongoing fuel management and round-the-clock support, we ensure your project is fully covered from start to finish.
The cost of hiring a gas boiler varies depending on the boiler size, length of hire, delivery, installation, and fuel usage. Additional factors such as servicing, maintenance, and support can also influence overall costs.
At Ideal Heat Solutions, we provide clear, all-inclusive hire packages that cover delivery, installation, Trend BMS remote monitoring, and 24/7 support — giving you complete peace of mind with no hidden extras.
Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is a renewable, fossil-free alternative to traditional heating oils. Produced from waste vegetable oils and animal fats, it delivers up to 90% lower carbon emissions compared to standard diesel or gas oil. HVO is also cleaner burning, with fewer particulates and reduced NOx emissions, making it better for both efficiency and the environment.
At Ideal Heat Solutions, we can supply boilers that run on HVO, helping businesses reduce their carbon footprint while still benefiting from powerful, reliable heating. It’s a simple way to make your boiler hire more sustainable without compromising performance.
An electric boiler is a compact heating system that uses electricity instead of gas or oil to generate hot water for central heating and domestic use. Unlike traditional boilers, there is no combustion process — instead, the boiler uses heating elements to warm the water, much like a large-scale kettle.
Because they don’t rely on fossil fuels, electric boilers produce zero on-site emissions, making them an environmentally friendly choice. They are also quieter, simpler to install, and require less maintenance as there are no flues, burners, or fuel storage tanks.
At Ideal Heat Solutions, our electric boiler hire fleet is designed for flexibility across commercial and industrial applications — from underfloor heating and screed drying to temporary hot water and space heating. With rapid delivery, installation, and 24/7 support, we make switching to electric both simple and reliable.
The cost of hiring a boiler to support underfloor heating depends on several variables: system size and heat demand, boiler output, hire duration, site logistics (delivery, install, pipework, electrical), and fuel consumption.
At Ideal Heat Solutions, our quotes are tailored to your specific underfloor heating needs. We include all essentials — delivery, installation, Trend BMS remote monitoring, servicing, and 24/7 support — so you know exactly what you’re paying for from the start.
