Choosing the Right Water Heater for Your Business
Your decision on a commercial water heater will impact your short-term operational efficiency and the long-term costs of running your facility.
The issues that need to be considered include:
Capacity
Commercial properties often have higher and more varied hot water demands than residential spaces. For instance, a hotel must accommodate the simultaneous needs of multiple guests, while a restaurant may experience peak demand during meal times. It's essential to evaluate the volume of hot water needed at different times and choose a system that can meet these fluctuating demands.
Energy Efficiency
Water heaters account for a substantial portion of energy usage in many businesses, so selecting an energy-efficient model can result in considerable savings. Look for heaters with high energy ratings and consider models that utilize advanced technology, such as heat pumps or condensing units, which enhance efficiency by utilizing heat from the environment. Additionally, exploring options with programmable settings can allow your businesses to optimize energy use during off-peak hours.
Cost Considerations
Tankless water heaters tend to have higher initial costs but can offer savings in energy use due to their on-demand heating capabilities. Conversely, traditional storage models are less expensive upfront but can incur higher energy costs. A lifecycle cost analysis can help in understanding which option may be more cost-effective for you in the long run.
The Type of Water Heater
Tankless models are ideal for properties with limited space, as they provide hot water on demand and eliminate the need for large storage tanks. Storage water heaters, although bulkier, can be more suitable for properties with consistently high demand. Hybrid models, combining heat pumps and traditional technologies, offer a balance between efficiency and capacity.
Our knowledgeable professionals can provide insights into the most suitable systems, recommend best practices for installation, and set up your water heater for optimal performance. This not only helps secure a reliable supply of hot water but also mitigates potential future issues.

Common Commercial Water Heater Issues
Every mechanical system inevitably encounters challenges, and our technicians are available 24/7 to help with your commercial water heater repair needs.
Some of those most common needs are these:
- Inadequate hot water supply: Commercial properties may face hot water shortages due to undersized water heaters or increased demand. This can disrupt operations, especially in businesses like hotels or restaurants.
- Temperature fluctuations: Inconsistent water temperatures can result from thermostat failures or sediment buildup. This can affect both customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
- Mineral buildup: Hard water can cause mineral deposits in the tank and pipes, reducing efficiency and lifespan. This buildup can lead to repairs and downtime. Implementing regular descaling procedures and installing water softeners can mitigate this problem.
- Pressure problems: High or low water pressure can affect the performance of water heaters, leading to leaks or insufficient water flow. Pressure regulators and regular inspections can help maintain optimal pressure levels and prevent damage.
- Pilot light or ignition issues: Gas water heaters may experience pilot light or ignition failures due to dirt or faulty components. This can lead to unexpected service interruptions.
- Leaks and corrosion: Your water heater can develop leaks due to corrosion or damaged components, presenting safety risks and increasing your water bills.
- Energy inefficiency: Older or poorly maintained water heaters can become energy hogs, increasing utility costs, and affecting your bottom line.

What’s the Difference Between Conventional and Tankless Water Heaters?
Conventional water heaters are defined by their signature tanks. These tanks are used to pre-heat and maintain a ready-to-go supply of hot water. This means that they can provide hot water immediately whenever it’s needed, but it also means that that reservoir can run out, leaving you without heated water.
Tankless hot water heaters, as the name implies, lack a tank, and thus cannot maintain a reservoir of pre-heated water. Instead, they use heat transfer technology to heat water as it moves through your pipes. While it takes a bit longer for tankless water heaters to heat water and deliver it to your appliances and fixtures, once your water is hot, it will stay hot as long as you need it to — there’s no limited supply that you have to worry about exhausting.

Do I Need a Specialized Technician to Service My Commercial Water Heater?
Commercial water heaters can come in either tank or tankless varieties but are almost always designed to operate at a much larger scale. Depending on the type of commercial property they service, commercial water heaters may need to provide water to specialized equipment or enough fixtures to stock multiple homes or offices.
If commercial hot water heaters are just larger versions of their residential counterparts, can they be serviced by the same technicians? We wouldn’t recommend it. These water heaters are often hooked up to intricate and specialized plumbing systems that require experience to navigate. Plus, with their large size, commercial water heaters require extra skills to handle and clean thoroughly. We recommend that you always get your commercial water heater services from a team with experience working with these specialized pieces of equipment.

Why Do I Keep Running Out of Hot Water?
If your water turns cold or lukewarm in the middle of your task, or if you experience flashes of cold water in your hot shower, you may be wondering what the cause of the issue is. The most likely explanation is that you’re using hot water faster than your water heater can generate it. This can happen if you’re using multiple appliances and fixtures at once, and it’s especially likely if your water heater is malfunctioning or worn down.
So what kinds of issues can cause you to run out of hot water faster than usual? First, there’s your heat source. In a conventional water heater, this is probably your pilot light, while in a tankless water heater, this would be your heat exchanger. If your heat source is faulty, it’s harder for your unit to heat water. Another likely culprit is sediment buildup in a conventional water heater, which takes up valuable space in your tank and can even clog up your pipes and affect your water pressure.
At the end of the day, there are a lot of issues that can cause you to run out of hot water faster and more frequently, and not all of them are things you can diagnose and resolve on your own. If running out of hot water has become a common problem, call our hot water heater specialists to get your unit fixed.
