Powerhouse Boilers

What Powerhouse Boilers does

Powerhouse Equipment & Engineering Co. Inc., operating as Powerhouse Boilers, is a US-based industrial boiler equipment company founded in 1982 in Camden, New Jersey by Paul A. Stohner and now headquartered in Delanco, NJ. The company designs, rents, sells, and services portable and stationary boiler systems for industrial and commercial customers across sectors including industrial manufacturing, food and beverage, power and energy, petrochemical, government and institutional, and education. Since June 2019, Powerhouse has operated as a subsidiary of Sweden's Atlas Copco within its Specialty Rental Division / Power Technique business area, operating alongside an existing management team under continuing family-influenced ownership culture. The company maintains five locations across the Eastern United States and claims the largest inventory of Portable Boiler Rooms (PBRs) in the world.

The company's core product platform is the Portable Boiler Room (PBR) - a fully containerized, self-contained boiler system integrating boiler, burner, fuel handling, feedwater treatment, water softening, feedwater pumps, chemical injection, and blowdown systems in 20' to 53' standard ISO containers. The PBR family ranges from 50 HP (RL-50) through 250 HP, 350 HP, 500 HP, 800 HP, and up to the RH-1000 - the world's largest 1,000 HP rental boiler with over 350 major components and more than 500 feet of interconnected piping. Adjacent rental products include Boiler in a Box (500-1000 HP), skid-mounted boilers (including the first all-electric 50 HP Cleaver Brooks unit added in 2019), and trailer-mounted boilers; matching containerized feedwater systems (FW-50, FW-70, FW-82, MFW-35, MFW-100) complement the boiler fleet. BoilerLink PLC-based controls enable remote monitoring and integration. Sales-side offerings include new custom boilers, new stock boilers, and reconditioned used boilers, plus OEM and aftermarket boiler parts.

Powerhouse generates revenue through four streams: boiler rental (subscription-style recurring revenue on emergency, short-term, and multi-year lease arrangements ranging from 50 HP to 1,000 HP capacity), boiler sales (one-time purchases of new or reconditioned units), boiler services (professional-services revenue from preventative maintenance, repair, water treatment, installation, engineering, remote monitoring, room auditing, burner service, operator training, and staffing), and boiler parts (aftermarket hardware). Pricing is uniformly quote-based and project-specific, varying by boiler size, rental duration, fuel type, and scope of service. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with a 24/7 emergency hotline, supported by a website with quote and contact forms, plus an Energy Boilers channel partnership extending reach into Central and South America.
