Temporary Boiler Hire, What It Is and When You May Need It
Why More Construction Sites Are Turning to Temporary Heating Solutions
In the world of construction, time is money… and delays due to slow drying, lack of heat or equipment failure can be costly. That’s why more and more project managers are turning to temporary boiler hire as a practical, fast, and flexible solution to keep things moving.
At ForceDry, we’ve seen firsthand how temporary boilers can transform a slow, damp site into a productive, dry, and warm environment ready for finishing works.
What Is Temporary Boiler Hire?
Temporary boiler hire involves bringing in a mobile heating unit to provide heat and/or hot water on a site that either doesn’t have a working system yet, or where the existing one is out of service.
These boilers are typically delivered in self-contained units and can be connected to:
When Might You Need One?
Here are some common scenarios where a temporary boiler can save your schedule:
Speeding up the screed drying process, is one of the most common reasons for hiring a boiler. Maintaining heat is crucial to achieving the conditions required for safe drying in line with British Standards.
Commissioning Underfloor Heating (UFH)
Before finishes can go down, UFH needs to be commissioned. A temporary boiler allows you to run the full cycle (as per British Standards), even if the main heating system isn’t live yet.
What to Look For in a Temporary Boiler Hire Service
Not all hire services are created equal. Here’s what to check:
- Installation & Setup: Do they provide full installation, or just drop-off?
- Power & Requirements: What power requirements are needed?
- Size & Output: Make sure the boiler is suitable for your needs, bigger isn’t always better.
Make sure you ensure all hired equipment meets safety standards and is properly maintained.
