Burnham Boilers Service & Support

From initial engineering consultation through decades of preventive maintenance, our service team keeps your boiler investment operating at peak performance.

Complete Boiler Lifecycle Services

Every phase of your boiler system is covered by our team of certified engineers and field technicians.

Engineering & Design

Load calculations, system sizing, piping layouts, and combustion air analysis. We produce detailed engineering drawings and specifications for your approval before fabrication begins.

Installation & Commissioning

Turnkey boiler installation with rigging, piping connections, electrical hookup, burner tuning, and safety interlock verification. Every system is combustion-tested before handoff.

Preventive Maintenance

Our Thermal Assurance Program includes scheduled inspections, combustion tuning, water chemistry analysis, safety valve testing, and gasket replacements to extend equipment life.

Emergency Repair

24/7 emergency call-out service with a 4-hour response target. Our mobile workshop trucks carry common spare parts for burner controls, ignition modules, and safety devices.

Fuel Conversions

Convert existing oil-fired boilers to natural gas, or add dual-fuel capability. Our retrofit kits include burner, controls, gas train, and all necessary code-compliant components.

Training & Compliance

Operator training programs covering safe boiler operation, water treatment procedures, log-keeping requirements, and compliance with ASME CSD-1 and NFPA 85 standards.

How We Work

A proven five-step process that ensures every project is delivered on spec, on time, and on budget.

1

Site Assessment

Our engineers visit your facility to evaluate existing infrastructure, measure load requirements, and document site constraints including clearances, fuel supply, and ventilation.

2

System Design

We produce detailed engineering specifications, P&ID drawings, and a comprehensive proposal including equipment selection, performance guarantees, and total cost of ownership analysis.

3

Fabrication & QC

Boilers are fabricated in our ISO 9001 certified facility with ASME code welding, hydrostatic testing, and third-party inspection at every critical hold point.

4

Installation & Startup

Our field crew handles rigging, mechanical and electrical connections, initial water treatment, burner calibration, and full combustion testing with flue gas analysis.

5

Ongoing Support

Post-commissioning, you receive operator training, maintenance schedules, and access to our 24/7 technical support hotline. Optional Thermal Assurance Program for long-term coverage.

Commissioning & Testing Standards

Every Burnham boiler undergoes a documented commissioning protocol before client handoff.

Factory Testing

  • Hydrostatic pressure test: Each pressure vessel is tested at 1.5x maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) per ASME Section I requirements, witnessed by a National Board authorized inspector.
  • Weld radiography: All longitudinal and circumferential welds on pressure vessels above 100 psig design pressure are radiographically examined per ASME Section I PW-11.
  • Dimensional inspection: Shell roundness, nozzle orientation, and mounting dimensions are verified against approved engineering drawings within +/- 1/16 inch tolerance.

Field Commissioning

  • Combustion analysis: Flue gas composition (O2, CO, CO2, NOx) is measured using a calibrated Testo 340 or equivalent analyzer at low fire, mid fire, and high fire positions. Target O2 at high fire: 3.0-3.5%.
  • Safety interlock verification: All safety devices (low water cutoff, high limit, flame safeguard, gas valve proof of closure) are individually tested to confirm proper trip and lockout sequence per NFPA 85.
  • Performance documentation: A commissioning report including all test data, combustion readings, and as-built drawings is delivered to the client within 5 business days of startup.

25-Year Heat Exchanger Warranty

We stand behind our engineering. Every Burnham boiler heat exchanger — whether cast iron sectional, carbon steel fire-tube, or stainless steel condensing — is warranted for 25 years against manufacturing defects under normal operating conditions. Warranty coverage requires enrollment in our water treatment monitoring program and annual inspection by a Burnham-certified technician.
