mechanical room
Explanation:
Mechanical room or boiler room in a big building, utility room in a small one.

A mechanical room or a boiler room is a room or space in a building dedicated to the mechanical equipment and its associated electrical equipment, as opposed to rooms intended for human occupancy or storage. Unless a building is served by a centralized heating plant, the size of the mechanical room is usually proportional to the size of the building. A small building or home may have at most a utility room but in large buildings mechanical rooms can be of considerable size, often requiring multiple rooms throughout the building, or even occupying one or more complete floors (see: mechanical floor).

Mechanical rooms typically house the following equipment:

Air handlers
Boilers
Chillers
Heat exchangers
Water heaters and tanks
Water pumps (for domestic, heating/cooling, and firefighting water)
Main distribution piping and valves
Sprinkler distribution piping and pumps
Back-up electrical generators
Elevator machinery
Other HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) equipment

If this is a house, utility room is probably more appropriate. The boiler will be installed in the utility room.
