Demand for underfloor heating continues to increase, particularly with new build houses and property refurbishment projects. But ensuring a controllable heat supply, through a boiler, is available on site is not always easy to achieve, especially when there is no gas supply available there. Few boilers offer the level of precise control required so that correct laying of underfloor heating is successfully achieved. But now, a new type of portable electric boiler has come onto the market, and is available to hire through the UK's leading boiler hire company.
The new 36kW electric boiler can also be used in other industrial applications where clients have a need for hot water for radiators in hotels, care homes with nursing, etc. and also at large kitchens.
This Unit Leads the way in Close Control Delivery of Hot Water and Power Efficiency
When using boilers in underfloor heating laying and initial testing, you cannot put the heat on a high setting immediately, as this could damage the screed. Users will start with a low temperature (around 15oC), and then increase it in increments of up to 5oC per week until the optimum desired temperature is achieved (normally 35-40oC).
The 36kW electric boiler for industrial applications offers capacity steps of 1oC up to 50oC - a
level of control that is far greater than many other boilers used in non-domestic environments, and controllability that is ideal for underfloor heating companies to work with.
Being the most energy efficient and user-friendly unit of its kind on the market, the 36kW electric boiler also offers a number of other benefits/advantages:
- It is on wheels, which makes it highly portable (on construction sites, the boilers can be used on multiple levels, so their portability means they can easily be taken up flights of stairs)
- Connections are quick release, making it easy to connect to the customer's supply
- Items can be added into the boiler system, depending on the application. For example, for underfloor heating laying and testing, the boiler rental specialist would add a heat exchanger, pump and buffer tank, and a pressurisation unit (in some instances)
- The boiler emits no fumes, meaning no flue is needed - so there is no requirement to be near an outside wall
- Where space is at a premium, the 36kW electric boiler is a good choice as it is small (but powerful), and does not require ducting. This flexibility means the boiler can be located just about anywhere, or tucked away in small areas so as not to get in the way on a busy site
- Service and general maintenance of the boiler is minimal, and unit installation and commissioning can be completed in two hours
Note: The portable 36kW electric boiler is also not used domestically as very few homeowners have a 3-phase supply, which the unit requires. In the event of a power supply disruption on site in an industrial setting, a boiler specialist will be able to cross-hire a generator to run the boiler, saving the client time and hassle.
Why Boiler Hiring (Rather Than Purchasing) is Best
A reputable boiler specialist will:
- Offer a fast and friendly service
- Price competitively
- Guarantee 24/7, 365-days of the year provision and support, and
- Have well-stocked depots strategically located nationwide
Boiler rental means no capital expenditure for the client. But boiler ranges can be vast, and clients should beware of opting simply to work with a 'general boiler rental' company. Only an expert in boiler leasing (who is experienced in supplying rented boilers to the building industry) would understand a construction site manager's needs when it comes to choosing the correct mobile boiler to properly dry a screed, without rushing the process.
Every week, dozens of underfloor heating systems are installed in buildings across the country, and so a site manager should choose a boiler hire specialist with a wealth of experience in providing controllable boilers that are proven in drying out screeds laid across floors of different sizes and shapes. A boiler firm that has added the new 36kW electric boiler to its hire fleet has to be the first company a site manager should call.
