Rapid Energy Fuel Tank Delivering Fuel

We know that keeping your operations running smoothly and without interruption is essential. Whether it’s a planned shutdown, unexpected HVAC failure, or peak season demand, our temporary boiler solutions are engineered to keep your business operational.

One of the key factors to consider when choosing the right temporary boiler is the fuel type. We offer a variety of options to meet different energy needs, efficiency standards, and sustainability goals. Let’s take a closer look at the different fuel options we provide with our boiler hire services:

1. Gas-Fueled Boilers

Gas is one of the most widely used fuels for temporary boilers, known for its efficiency, availability, and cost-effectiveness, especially in urban or commercial areas with a reliable gas connection.

Benefits:

  • High thermal efficiency, reducing energy consumption and operational costs
  • Clean combustion with lower emissions than oil-based fuels
  • Stable heat output for continuous, long-term use
  • Easily integrates into existing gas infrastructure
  • Suitable for both planned and emergency applications where mains gas is present

Ideal for:

  • Commercial premises
  • Hospitals and care environments
  • Educational campuses
  • Manufacturing and processing facilities with existing gas supply

Rapid Energy gas-fueled boilers available: 150kW, 300kW, 500kW, 600kW, 1200kW, 1300kW, and 2000kW

2. Gasoil-Fueled Boilers

Gasoil (industrial heating oil) is a dependable choice for locations where gas is unavailable or unsuitable. It offers strong, reliable performance, particularly in off-grid or temporary scenarios.

Benefits:

  • Perfect for remote or rural sites with no access to mains gas
  • On-site fuel storage provides autonomy and flexibility
  • Performs reliably in harsh weather or demanding conditions
  • Supports rapid deployment in emergency or fast-track projects
  • Suitable for short-term and long-term use
  • We can offer this with carbon credits to completely offset carbon emissions.

Ideal for:

  • Construction projects
  • Facilities maintenance during boiler failure
  • Industrial estates in non-gas areas
  • Temporary plant rooms for events or seasonal use

Rapid Energy gasoil-fueled boilers available: 150kW, 300kW, 500kW, 600kW, 1200kW, 1300kW, and 2000kW

3. HVO-Fueled Boilers (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil)

We are proud to offer Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) as a fuel alternative. HVO is a renewable fuel derived from plant-based oils, making it a significantly more sustainable option compared to traditional heating oils.

Benefits:

  • Reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90%
  • Renewable, biodegradable, and non-toxic – a cleaner alternative to gasoil
  • Similar performance and energy output to traditional fuels
  • Supports ESG compliance and net-zero initiatives
  • No modification required to switch from gasoil – plug-and-play compatibility

Ideal for:

  • Public sector and local authority projects
  • Environmentally conscious organisations

Rapid Energy HVO-fueled boilers available: 500kW, 600kW, 1200kW, and 1300kW

4. Electric Boilers

Electric boilers are a compact, mobile, and zero-emission solution. They’re ideal for smaller-scale applications or internal spaces where noise, emissions, or fuel storage are concerns.

Benefits:

  • Emission-free at point of use – no combustion or on-site emissions
  • Quiet operation with minimal maintenance requirements
  • Perfect for use in enclosed spaces or clean environments
  • No need for fuel deliveries or fuel storage infrastructure
  • Quick and easy to deploy where electric supply is available

Ideal for:

  • Inner-city or emissions-restricted areas
  • Laboratories and test environments
  • Short-term heating during plant room refurbishments

Rapid Energy electric boilers available: 15kW, 22kW, 36kW
