When a boiler fails or an outage is coming, our Aurora team sets up temporary steam or hot water from the Thermogenics containerized rental fleet and our partner inventory. We size the unit to your load, plan the tie-in and stay on call while it runs.
A tube leak, a cracked tube sheet or a burner fault that will take weeks to repair can stop a food line, a corrugator or the steam a hospital needs for sterilization and heating. A temporary boiler puts steam back on the header while our service team repairs or replaces the permanent unit. Production continues, and the repair can be done properly.
Our Aurora team serves plants in Toronto, Barrie, Oshawa, Peterborough and across Ontario. Each rental is matched to the job from the Thermogenics containerized fleet and our partner rental network, and each unit is inspected and tested before it is deployed.
A failure with a long or costly repair is the most common reason to rent. A temporary boiler restores steam while our service team finds out why the permanent unit failed and fixes it.
Annual inspections, retubing, coil changes and refractory work all take the boiler offline. Book a rental ahead of the outage and production or building heat can carry on through the work.
A new boiler can take about four months to arrive, and four to six when factories are busy. A rental bridges the gap from the day you approve the replacement to the start-up of the new unit.
With a January design temperature of about −20 °C in Toronto, heating plants run hardest in winter. A rental adds capacity when one boiler is out or the load outgrows what the boiler room can deliver.
Corrugated plants and food and beverage processors depend on steady steam pressure. A rental sized to the process load keeps corrugators, cookers and kettles running while the main boiler is repaired.
While a new plant, addition or boiler room is being built, a temporary unit can supply steam or heat until the permanent equipment is installed and commissioned.
Our own rental units are Thermocoil steam boilers from 150 to 500 HP. They are rated at 250 psig MAWP, operate from 70 to 225 psig, fire natural gas, propane or No. 2 oil, and reach up to 85% efficiency with economizers. Partner inventory widens the range to 30 BHP – 2,200+ BHP, including firetube and watertube steam, hot water, thermal fluid, low NOx units and complete boiler rooms.

Availability changes as units go out and come back. Call with your load, pressure and fuel, and we’ll tell you what we can match.
We start with who you are, where the plant is and what the steam does. Then we ask about process, pressure, fuel, available voltage, water supply and any emissions limits the unit has to meet, so the boiler is sized to the job.
We usually get someone on site to see where the unit will sit and how far it is from your steam line. A 400-foot run can mean 2–3 weeks of piping, so this step sets the real schedule.
Units ship in standard sea can containers, so they travel as regular loads without escorts or oversize flags. At site, a crane or a lowboy trailer takes the container off the truck and onto its spot.
We connect fuel, power, feedwater, steam and condensate, then commission the unit and check the controls, low-water cutoff and flame safeguard before it carries your load.
Maintenance and repairs are included while the unit is on rent. When your permanent boiler is back in service, we take the rental out and arrange the pickup with you.
A rental goes in faster when the site work is planned early. The temporary unit has to work with your feedwater, condensate return, controls and gas train, so we review those along with the boiler itself. Tell us how your plant is staffed and who signs off on boiler work, and we’ll plan the start-up around it.
Enter your postal code to see the approximate road distance from our Aurora branch. Delivery time depends on the unit and the crane or lowboy booking; we confirm it when you call.
We confirm the timing on the call. It depends mostly on which unit is available and how much site work is needed, such as piping to the steam line. Toronto is about 40 minutes from our Aurora branch and Peterborough about 1.5 hours. Call 905-727-1901 to plan it.
We size it from your steam or hot water load, operating pressure and process, using your nameplate data and peak demand. If the load falls outside our own Thermocoil range, we source a unit from partner inventory.
Yes. Our Thermocoil rentals fire natural gas, propane or No. 2 oil, so propane or oil can cover a site where gas capacity is short or a new gas tie-in would take too long. Tell us what fuel is available at the property and what emissions limits apply, and we’ll match the burner to both.
Single units are 8' wide, 8' high and 20' or 30' long. Two-boiler units are 8' wide, 9'6" high and 40' long. Leave room around the spot for a crane or lowboy trailer to unload it.
Our Aurora service team handles delivery, maintenance and 24/7 repairs, and all three come with the rental. Who attends the boiler day to day depends on the unit and TSSA’s operating engineer rules, and we review that with you before start-up.
As long as the job needs. Some rentals last 8–10 days while a part arrives or refractory is repaired. A full tube and tube-sheet job on a large firetube, or a wait for a new boiler, can run several months. We plan the rental around your repair or replacement schedule and adjust if it changes.
Call 905-727-1901 with your load, pressure, fuel and site details. We’ll tell you what we can match and how we’ll get it set.
