Union Boiler maintains and repairs hydronic and steam boilers for St. Catharines plants and buildings. Our team holds TSSA and CWB credentials, includes PK-certified technicians and does its own welding and fabrication. We also handle emergency repair, piping, parts and rental boilers.
St. Catharines is part of our Hamilton team’s service area, served from our branch on Niagara Street in Hamilton. Technicians come out for scheduled maintenance, annual inspections and emergency calls. Our service trucks carry valves, pumps, controls and gaskets, so many repairs can start on the first visit.
Greenhouse heating plants and steam systems tied into process piping often need welding or new piping as part of a repair. Our technicians weld, fabricate and pipe in-house, so the job does not wait on another trade. When a plant needs temporary heat or steam, we arrange a rental boiler.
St. Catharines is covered by our Hamilton team
St. Catharines sits at the centre of Canada’s largest wine region and one of the country’s biggest concentrations of greenhouse growers. Automotive manufacturing, health care, education and tourism round out the local economy. Most of these operations need hot water or steam every day, and many run hydronic systems, which is where our team does much of its work.
Wineries and beverage plants use hot water and steam for washing, sanitation and temperature control, and we service the boilers behind it.
Niagara greenhouses rely on hot water boilers to hold growing temperatures through winter, and a night without heat can damage a crop. We service burners, controls and hydronic distribution.
Engine and component plants use steam and hot water for process heating, parts washing and space heat. We repair boilers and do process and gas piping, welding and fabrication in-house.
Hospitals and university campuses run boilers for heating and domestic hot water, and hospitals also for sterilization and humidification. We plan maintenance around inspections and arrange rentals when capacity runs short.
Hotels and casinos in Niagara Falls and across the region need heating and domestic hot water for guests at all hours. We maintain their hydronic and steam plants and take emergency calls.
Monthly, quarterly and annual maintenance plans for hydronic and steam boilers. The monthly plan includes 11 inspections plus an annual inspection; the quarterly plan includes 3 inspections plus an annual maintenance visit. Plans come with fixed labour rates and priority scheduling.
Maintenance from HamiltonEmergency boiler repair, retubing, refractory repair, pump repair and heat exchanger repair. Our technicians service PK, Riello, Weishaupt and Cleaver-Brooks burners and Honeywell and Fireye controls, and handle burner upgrades and boiler replacement.
Repair servicesOur trucks are fully stocked with valves, pumps, controls and gaskets, and we keep OEM parts in stock, with an emphasis on hydronic components. We also supply new Thermogenics and Fulton equipment.
Parts & suppliesRental boilers come through the Thermogenics network: units from 150 to 500 HP on natural gas, propane or No. 2 oil, plus complete boiler rooms, feedwater tanks, pumps and water treatment, with delivery, setup and commissioning.
Rental boilers & fleetIn Ontario, boilers and pressure vessels fall under the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA), which administers the Technical Standards and Safety Act, 2000. The Boilers and Pressure Vessels regulation (O. Reg. 220/01) covers design registration, inspection and certificates of inspection, and the Operating Engineers regulation (O. Reg. 219/01) covers licensing of operating engineers. We do annual overhauls with the government or insurance inspector present.
Lake Ontario gives St. Catharines one of the mildest climates in the province, but winters still bring long stretches below freezing. Heating boilers and greenhouse plants run hard from late fall to spring, and that is when weak burners, worn refractory and failing pumps show up. We do seasonal maintenance before the cold sets in and check the piping, pumps and controls as well, since faults there often cause the trouble.
