Prime Boiler Services, now part of Thermogenics, has served Western Canada since 1991. Our Edmonton branch works from a yard in Nisku and covers the capital region, Leduc and the Industrial Heartland with service, installs, repairs, parts and rentals for steam and heating boilers, 24/7, 365 days a year.
Inspections, combustion tuning, O₂ trim and controls upkeep, plus checks on feedwater, traps and piping.
24/7 breakdown response for steam, hot water and glycol boilers, burners, controls, pressure vessels and piping.
Burners, controls, gaskets, safety valves and refractory from the largest boiler parts inventory in Western Canada.
Skid- and trailer-mounted rental boilers from 30 BHP to 2,200 HP, in diesel, gas and dual-fuel.
Prime Boiler Services works for oil and gas, power, industrial and commercial plants across Western Canada. Our Edmonton team pairs strong troubleshooting with competitive pricing, so your boiler budget goes further.
Our Nisku shop recertifies oilfield boiler equipment and provides the paperwork to verify the work, along with custom fabrication, pipe fabrication and refractory repair.
30+ skid- and trailer-mounted rental units, with custom rental packages and a choice of fuels.
Parts for the burners, controls and boilers we service, ordered any hour, with pickup at the Edmonton branch yard or delivery throughout Canada.
Energy and oil and gas lead the work across Northern Alberta, from the Industrial Heartland to the oil sands. We also service boilers for power, chemical and petrochemical, lumber, and food and beverage plants, and for commercial and institutional buildings that need heat through an Edmonton winter.

Planned maintenance keeps year-round plants out of emergency mode, and Edmonton winters, with design temperatures around −30 °C, leave little margin for a heating plant. ABSA – The Pressure Equipment Safety Authority sets the inspection intervals that keep each boiler on a valid certificate. We time inspections to your ABSA schedule, take combustion readings and tune before winter, and fit waterside and fireside cleaning around your shutdowns.
Each visit covers the burner and controls, feedwater, traps and piping as well as the boiler itself. Service agreements can be set up for monthly to quarterly visits, with a team that knows your boiler room. Prime also handles boiler certification and boiler water treatment for steam, closed-loop hot water, glycol and cooling tower systems.
Prime’s field service team works directly with your onsite crew on preventative maintenance, troubleshooting and boiler certification. For systems that need more than a tune-up, an onsite system audit checks performance, efficiency potential, safety features and carbon footprint, and recommends upgrades that meet current standards for efficiency, emissions and cost.
Prime’s water treatment division sets up scale, corrosion and condensate treatment for steam boilers and inhibitors for closed-loop hot water and glycol systems. The program includes regular site visits and inspections, boiler clean-ups and continuous onsite training for your boiler room staff.
If the boiler’s down, you’re not making product. Breakdown calls come in on our 24/7 line, and we confirm timing on the call. Technicians carry mobile repair equipment.
We get steam or heat back first, then trace why the unit failed and how to keep it from happening again. We repair steam and heating boilers over 400,000 BTU, including Hurst, Saskatoon Boiler and CAMUS units, along with burners, combustion controls, pressure vessels and piping. Repairs and alterations run under Prime’s ABSA-approved quality control program (Certificate of Authorization AQP-21130).
Bigger jobs come back to Prime’s fully equipped boiler shop for custom fabrication, boiler and pressure vessel repairs, pipe fabrication to industry standards and your specifications, and refractory repair on steam, hot water and glycol boilers from 25 to 5,000 HP. Shop upgrades leave with the recertification paperwork you need to manage and verify your equipment.
Prime’s combustion and instrumentation specialists also modernize burners and controls on site with low-NOx and digital combustion control, O₂ trim and remote monitoring, installing and servicing Autoflame, Oilon and Limpsfield equipment.
Prime carries the largest inventory of boiler parts in Western Canada, including burner components, flame safeguards and combustion controls, gaskets, refractory, safety valves, steam traps and water treatment supplies.
Parts ship throughout Canada or can be picked up at a Prime location, including the Edmonton branch yard. Prime also supplies steam system products such as float-controlled steam traps, control valves, deaerators, blowdown and feedwater tanks, and Cannon Boiler Works economizers and feedwater heaters.

Call 780-955-7787 to order any hour, for delivery throughout Canada or pickup at a Prime location.
Steam and heat for pipeline hydrotesting year-round, including winter conditions down to −40 °C.
Most rental calls start with a failure: a unit facing a long or costly repair, or an older boiler that won’t pass inspection. New boilers can take months to deliver, and a rental carries the load in the meantime. We also bring units in for turnarounds, capacity bumps and seasonal heat, for anywhere from a week to several months.
The fleet, the largest in Western Canada, runs from 30 BHP Scotch marine firetubes up to 400–800 BHP watertubes and a 2,200 HP Nebraska watertube, skid- or trailer-mounted, in diesel, natural gas and dual-fuel. For a first rental, we walk your site beforehand so the connections, fuel and placement are planned before the unit arrives.
30+ units, all portable and skid- or trailer-mounted, so we can match the size to your load and site. A sample of the fleet:

Call 780-955-7787 at any hour. The line is answered 24/7, and we confirm timing on the call. Technicians carry mobile repair equipment to sites across Northern Alberta.
We work on steam and heating boilers over 400,000 BTU, including Hurst, Saskatoon Boiler, CAMUS, Limpsfield, Power Flame and Oilon equipment, and low-water-content watertube steam boilers. We also service combustion controls from Autoflame, Fireye, Honeywell, Lamtec and Siemens. Refractory work covers boilers from 25 to 5,000 HP.
Yes. Our Nisku shop handles recertifications for oilfield customers and provides the paperwork that verifies the work, so you can manage and maintain your equipment on record. Certification and recertification can be done with or without safety-authority inspections. Call 780-955-7787 with the equipment details.
We’ll ask what process you run, your operating pressure, fuel, available voltage and water, and where the unit will sit. Plan the steam connection early. If there’s no connection stubbed out with a valve on it and the nearest line is hundreds of feet away, piping alone can take a few weeks.
Yes. Prime holds ABSA Certificate of Authorization Permit AQP-21130, an approved quality control system for the repair and alteration of Section I power boilers, Section IV heating boilers and pressure vessels, and the construction, repair and alteration of B31.1, B31.1 BEP, B31.3 and B31.9 piping. Prime is also registered with ISNetworld, ComplyWorks, Avetta, Contractor Check and Cognibox.
