We're available Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, for every question.

How long does it take to get a unit?

Standard lead time on an Emperor unit is 60 to 90 days, with delivery anywhere in the continental US. Configurable options like the generator upgrade or communication module are built into that same window, so added upgrades don't typically add a separate wait.

What does an Emperor unit cost?

Cost depends on how you configure the unit - buy or lease, generator and communication upgrades, and daily or monthly lease terms. We quote each unit to the job rather than publish a flat price, so contact us for a number that matches your operation.

If I lease a unit, who actually owns it?

When you buy an Emperor unit outright, it's yours. When you lease it on a daily or monthly plan, Induction Boilers owns the unit and you return it at the end of the lease, with maintenance and repair coverage included for the lease term.

Why not just use a standard burner-fired heater?

A standard burner-fired hot oil unit can handle a simple, low-pressure job where an open flame on location isn't a concern. For frac water heating, well servicing or drilling work where crews need flameless operation, no pre-heat and remote control, that trade-off costs you safety margin and uptime, which is what the Emperor is built to remove.

What does the monthly lease actually cover?

A monthly lease covers the unit itself plus the maintenance and repair coverage terms that come with it, not just bare rental. Plans run daily or monthly depending on how long the job needs the equipment, and at the end of the term you can extend, switch to a purchase, or return the unit.

Who is the Emperor unit not a good fit for?

The Emperor isn't built for small, fixed low-volume jobs or sites that don't need mobile, trailer-mounted equipment. It's sized for frac water heating, well servicing, drilling and gas operations that need modular capacity and remote monitoring, so a single low-flow job may not need it.
