Imagine the difficulty of coping if your boiler stopped working suddenly. There’s suddenly no hot water for the morning shower, and if outside is cold, you’ll soon be feeling it inside without your radiators working. This would be annoying, inconvenient and upsetting. It won’t take much to get things back to normal after a quick phone call to an emergency plumbing service.
The domestic boiler is small compared to its industrial counterparts. Imagine how difficult it would be for the Empire State Building to survive without heating or hot water. Skyscraper’s boilers are much larger than domestic boilers and will require more energy to heat all the floors.
This is exactly what happened when one of the worst winter storms ever to hit New York brought temperatures down to below 40 degrees! After Hurricane Sandy, the Empire State needed to find a quick solution to restore heat, power and hot water in the building. What did they do then? In the very first boiler rental transaction, they hired the largest mobile boiler in the world at the time.
Powerhouse, a local company, was able to provide the portable boiler in less than 24 hours after one of the most severe storms ever recorded. The boiler, which was in ready-to-fire conditions and 800 HP in power, restored some normality in the skyscraper within no time.
Unexpectedly, the Empire State has no backup systems. When it became apparent that the iconic building was going to be without heat for a few days, a fix of some sort was required. Hurricane Sandy caused massive damage and flooding, leading to explosions and mechanical problems in the underground pipe system.
Powerhouse was certainly surprised by the request. It was the very first. In times of crisis people come together to solve problems in innovative and unique ways. This is believed to be the first skyscraper ever to require a steam backup system. This gives a sense of the severity of Hurricane Sandy and what can happen when bad weather strikes.

Powerhouse is a family-run business that has been around for many years. They operate the largest fleet of portable boilers on the planet. When our central heating breaks down, thankfully, we don’t need such massive equipment to fix the problem. The bigger the building is, the larger the boiler required!
