Plains Mechanical Services repairs, installs and maintains steam and hot water boilers for Omaha hospitals, food plants, campuses and government facilities. We also supply boiler room parts and Thermogenics rental boilers.
Omaha is part of our Sioux City team’s service area, and we serve Omaha plants from our branch on Hawkeye Drive. For an emergency call, a technician heads south. Our crews include service and combustion technicians, welders and pipefitters.
Scheduled work runs on monthly, quarterly or annual maintenance agreements, so burner tune-ups and tube work can be planned around your production or heating season. The same team that services your boiler also handles code repairs, power piping and rental boiler setup.
Omaha is covered by our Sioux City team
Omaha grew up around stockyards and packing houses, and major food companies are still headquartered here. The city also has large hospital systems, university campuses, a military presence in neighboring Bellevue and many corporate headquarters, all with boiler plants that carry heavy winter loads.
Packing and food plants depend on steam for cooking, sanitation and washdown, and a boiler outage stops production. We keep burners, feedwater pumps and steam traps in working order.
Hospitals need steam for sterilizers and humidification and heat every day of the year. We test low-water cutoffs and flame safeguards and make code repairs under our ‘R’ stamp.
Campus plants and building boilers carry heavy heating loads through Omaha winters. We work on steam and hydronic systems, deaerators and condensate return, and schedule major work around the academic calendar.
Military installations and government facilities expect contractors who meet strict safety rules. We are ISNetworld qualified and an Avetta member, and our technicians hold required OSHA certifications.
Omaha’s corporate headquarters and office buildings rely on hot water and steam boilers for comfort heat. We service Lochinvar, Aerco, Hurst and other brands and keep combustion controls tuned.
Maintenance agreements are set up monthly, quarterly or annually. Visits cover burner and combustion checks and flame safeguard and low-water cutoff testing. We also offer steam trap surveys, deaerator inspections and water softener evaluation. Many boiler faults start in traps, softeners or feedwater equipment.
Maintenance from Sioux CityOur service technicians, ASME-certified welders and pipefitters handle tube repair and retubing, refractory and castable insulation, burner retrofits and pump repair. Repairs and alterations to boilers and pressure vessels are done under our National Board ‘R’ stamp, and power piping under our ASME ‘S’ stamp.
Repair servicesOur Sioux City parts counter is open Mon–Fri, 7:00 AM–5:00 PM, stocked with new and reconditioned boiler room parts: valves, steam traps, pressure regulators, burner parts, gas valves, relief valves and gauges. We can also deliver parts to your plant; ask when you order.
Parts & suppliesRental boilers come from the Thermogenics fleet of containerized units, plus partner inventory. Units fire natural gas, propane or No. 2 oil and are rated 250 psig MAWP. Our team handles setup and field service for planned outages and failures.
Rental boilers & fleetBoilers in Omaha fall under the Nebraska State Fire Marshal – Boiler Inspection Program, which took over from the Nebraska Department of Labor in 2019. The Boiler Inspection Act requires most heating, hot water supply and process boilers to be inspected at least every 12 months, built to the ASME code and registered with the National Board. When an inspection turns up findings, we can make code repairs under our ‘R’ stamp.
Omaha winters are cold and windy, with heating design temperatures below 0 °F. Heating boilers run at full load for long stretches, and combustion air intakes, condensate lines and makeup water are exposed to freezing. Summers are hot and humid, which gives heating plants a window for retubing, refractory work and burner retrofits before the next cold season.
