Boilers/Water Heaters
6 companies listed
Boilers and water heaters allow hydrovac trucks to operate in freezing conditions by heating the water used for excavation. Hot water cuts through frozen ground and prevents water system components from freezing during winter operations.
What to Look For
- BTU output and recovery rate for your climate and excavation volume
- Fuel type (diesel, propane, or multi-fuel) and consumption rate
- Freeze protection for the boiler system itself during overnight shutdown
- Compliance with ASME or CSA standards for pressurized heating vessels

Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature does a hydrovac boiler heat water to?
Most hydrovac boilers heat water to 140-180 degrees F. Higher temperatures cut frozen ground faster but increase fuel consumption and can damage some utility materials.
Can I operate a hydrovac without a boiler?
Yes, in warm climates a boiler is unnecessary. However, any operation in areas with freezing temperatures needs heated water capability to maintain productivity.
