If the boiler is to be placed in an existing facility, there are a number of considerations:
 Photo of technicians preparing a replacement install in a full boiler room. Floor space required.- Total space requirements.
- Access space for maintenance.
- Size and characteristics of the boiler to be replaced, including location of existing piping, the boiler stack and utilities.
- Boiler weight limitations.
- With little or no access to the boiler room, the cast iron boiler and some bent-tube type boilers can be carried into the boiler room in sections or pieces and easily assembled, with no welding required.
- Electric boilers should also be considered, especially since they do not require a stack.
- Vertical firetube boilers have a small floor space requirement.
