Rite service
Service for the Rite boiler you already have.
Rite boilers are built in Commerce, California, and run in breweries, laundries, dry cleaners, and plants across the state. Their hinged head plates open the full water side, which makes inspection and cleaning straightforward when it’s done on schedule.
McKenna services and repairs Rite boilers with its own crews. We don’t sell Rite equipment, so the recommendation is what the boiler needs: a repair, a retrofit, or a replacement when the numbers say so.
What we do
Rite work McKenna performs.
- Preventive maintenance and CSD-1 safety control testing, with a written report

Why McKenna
Why plants use McKenna on their Rite boilers.
Independent
McKenna isn’t tied to a manufacturer’s rep agreement. We recommend what fits your plant, including keeping the boiler you have.
We build boilers
McKenna engineers and builds boilers in its own ASME code shop. That’s the same knowledge we bring to your Rite.
Code repairs in-house
McKenna holds the National Board R certificate, so welded tube repairs and other pressure part repairs don’t need another company.
One company for the boiler room
We service and repair other brands too. A plant with more than one brand of boiler gets one service company and one set of records.
