About Burnham Boilers

38 years of engineering excellence in industrial and commercial heating systems. Building thermal solutions that last generations.

Our Story

Founded in 1988 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Burnham Boilers started as a two-person boiler repair shop serving local manufacturing plants along the Route 30 industrial corridor. The company transitioned from repair to manufacturing in 1995 after earning ASME U and S Stamps, filling a market gap for mid-range (100-800 HP) boilers built to the same fabrication standards as utility-scale equipment.

By 2003, Burnham had completed over 3,000 installations and launched its dual-fuel burner line to serve facilities in natural gas curtailment zones across the U.S. Northeast. The company opened its second manufacturing facility in 2019, a 65,000 sq ft plant dedicated to condensing boiler production, bringing total annual manufacturing capacity to approximately 600 units.

Today, with over 12,500 boiler installations across 14 countries, we maintain an in-house engineering team of 22 mechanical and combustion engineers and a field service network of 48 certified technicians across the eastern United States and Canada.

What Drives Us

Safety First

Every weld is radiographically examined per ASME Section I. Every safety interlock is individually tested against NFPA 85 trip sequences. Hydrostatic testing at 1.5x MAWP is performed on 100% of pressure vessels before shipment.

Engineering Rigor

Our design team applies finite element analysis for stress verification, computational thermal modeling for combustion efficiency optimization, and ASME Section I code calculations to every project from 15 HP compact units to 800 HP multi-boiler plants.

Partnership Mindset

We see ourselves as an extension of your facilities team. From the first site visit through decades of maintenance, your success is our success.
