Prime Boiler Services repairs, maintains, certifies and rents steam and heating boilers for Cold Lake’s thermal oil, institutional and commercial plants. Our Edmonton team brings the technicians, parts and mobile repair equipment to your site.
Our Edmonton team works out of Prime’s yard in Nisku and covers Cold Lake as well as the capital region. We come out for emergency calls and for planned shutdowns, start-ups and inspections.
Scheduled maintenance, recertification and system audits are planned around your operation. Combustion is a particular strength: low-NOx burner upgrades, O2 trim, digital controls and remote monitoring. Our team also ships rental units to Cold Lake sites.
Cold Lake is covered by our Edmonton team
Cold Lake sits on one of Alberta’s main thermal heavy oil deposits, where steam is how the oil is produced. The area also has a large air force base, a regional health centre, municipal buildings and Lakeland farms, all heated through long winters.
Cyclic steam stimulation and SAGD depend on steam generation. We repair and recertify boilers, pressure vessels and piping, and supply high-pressure rental steam for turnarounds.
Glycol heaters, reboilers, vessel steaming and oil storage tank cleaning all depend on steady heat. We repair burners and controls and rent units for short-term field work.
Buildings at and around CFB Cold Lake rely on central heating plants through Lakeland winters. We service heating boilers, burners and controls, and supply temporary heat.
Hospitals, arenas, pools and civic buildings need steady heat and hot water. We run maintenance programs, water treatment and certification so heating plants stay on certificate.
Lakeland farms and cattle operations use boilers for barn heat, wash water and processing. We repair heating boilers over 400,000 BTU and rent units when one fails.
Our maintenance programs cover firetube and watertube boilers, burners, low-water cutoffs, flame safeguards, safety valves and feedwater. We also run water treatment for steam, closed-loop hot water and glycol systems that operate all winter.
Maintenance from EdmontonRepairs and alterations run under ABSA Certificate of Authorization Permit AQP-21130 for boilers, pressure vessels and piping. We repair refractory on boilers 25 HP to 5,000 HP, along with deaerators, blowdown separators and feedwater tanks. We also work on burners and controls from Autoflame, Fireye, Honeywell, Lamtec, Siemens and Oilon.

Parts & suppliesOur rental fleet includes skid- and trailer-mounted units from 30 BHP to a 2,200 HP Nebraska watertube, in diesel, natural gas or dual fuel, plus superheated steam trailers up to 750 °F. A truck-mounted 400 BHP watertube carries its own generator.
Rental boilers & fleetIn Alberta, boilers and pressure vessels fall under ABSA – The Pressure Equipment Safety Authority. ABSA administers the Safety Codes Act and the Pressure Equipment Safety Regulation. Owners must keep each boiler on a valid certificate of inspection permit and follow ABSA’s inspection intervals. We handle certification and recertification, with or without the safety-authority inspection, and coordinate repairs with ABSA.
January lows in Cold Lake regularly reach the -30s °C. If a boiler trips overnight, condensate lines, feedwater and glycol loops can freeze before it is restarted. During maintenance we pay close attention to combustion air and low-water cutoffs. Our rental services also include pipeline hydrotesting down to -40 °C.
