Containerised boiler plantroom hire– generally larger in size, containerised boilers offer a standard sized structurally sound plant room. They are generally offered in 10 and 20ft variants and can typically accept larger gas and oil-fired boiler plant.

Fuel options available.

Kerosine– is a flammable hydrocarbon liquid that is pale in colour and derived from petroleum. Temporary boiler hire commonly uses kerosine as a convenient fuel source that is supplied in portable bunded tanks. With a similar heat output to diesel, it is now preferred due to lower tax rates and costs.
Diesel– again, this fuel is a popular choice for temporary boilers and with a similar heat output to kerosine it is also supplied in bunded tanks. However, since the phase out of lower taxed red diesel, there has been a switch away from this fuel for cost reasons.
Natural gas– is a gaseous mixture of hydrocarbons—predominantly made up of methane which is supplied in the UK on a mains pipe-line grid. Temporary boilers can be connected to this mains system with pipework extensions.
LPG or liquified petroleum gas– is a fuel gas which contains a flammable mixture of hydrocarbon gases and is supplied in cylinders under pressure in liquid/ vapour form. Because of the logistics and handling of these pressurised tanks, LPG is not commonly used in the temporary boiler industry.
Electricity- Emission free at the point of use, this option has been growing in popularity with users conscious of emissions for various reasons. A good safe option if you have the power available.
