When it’s time to upgrade the boiler room in your facility, Riello Array condensing boilers offer an efficient solution. Known as “the ultimate in efficiency, redundancy and reliability,” technicians at The Wilkinson Companies have been installing Riello boilers locally at customer sites. The Riello Array series is a pre-packaged boiler plant. According to Riello’s website, “Each Array boiler utilizes multiple heat exchanger modules, providing high turndown and multiple boiler redundancy in one packaged unit. A single Array boiler provides superior uptime reliability that is only found in larger boiler plants and multi boiler systems.”

The Wilkinson Companies was given the opportunity to complete a very exciting project for Polar Beverages, located in Worcester, MA. Founded in 1882, Polar Beverages Incorporated is the largest independent bottling company in the United States. Under continuous ownership and operation by four generations of the Crowley family, Polar Beverages’ brands include Polar Seltzer, Adirondack, Clear & Sparkling, O Water and Frannie’s. The company produces and distributes from three locations: Worcester, Massachusetts; Albany, New York; and Fitzgerald, Georgia. They were also very instrumental in moving Boston Red Sox Triple A affiliate Pawtucket Red Sox to the brand-new Polar Park, opening in Worcester in 2021.

Your boiler room is furnished with valuable equipment that keeps your facility in tip-top operation. This includes boilers, water heaters, burners and combustion control systems, just to name a few. The installation and programming of combustion control systems require an expert technician, specifically trained on each unique system. At The Wilkinson Companies, we have a diverse team of highly qualified service technicians with a combined 290 years of experience.
