Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions
As business owners ourselves, we understand how crucial it is for you to get back to operating standards fast. We’re here to answer your most frequently asked questions about water heaters.
Commercial water heaters are designed for commercial spaces like restaurants, businesses, and office spaces, which means they have a lot of water to keep hot. They have to be able to disperse many more gallons of hot water throughout a commercial space’s layout than a home requires. In fact, a large residential water heater can handle up to 100 gallons of water, but a commercial system can handle 250 gallons.
The next key difference between a commercial water heater and a residential water heater is that a commercial water heater is designed to require as little repair and maintenance as possible. Commercial water heaters are made of more durable and tougher materials, which means less downtime for these hardworking units and less revenue loss for business owners who rely on having hot water consistently.
This also means that they have a longer lifespan of 20+ years if they’re maintained well.
Because we maintain a healthy network of suppliers and wholesalers, we can deliver and install virtually any tank or tankless brand of commercial water heater your business requires, including:
- High-recovery/large-capacity water heaters: perfect for high-demand and high-temperature operations, such as restaurants, hotels, spas, and more.
- Basic high-efficiency water heaters: 50 or 75-gallon capacity heaters (gas or electric) can handle the demands of high-volume businesses like hospitals, schools, and other care facilities.
- Point-of-use tank and instant on-demand water heaters: We can furnish 10, 20, and 30-gallon electric tank heaters for smaller businesses like offices, breakrooms, and shops.
- Commercial tankless water heaters: save thousands of dollars per year with a high-performance tankless water heater for commercial use, such as Navien brand.
We work with all trusted commercial tank brands, such as A.O. Smith, Bradford & White, Rheem, State, and more. We also have experience with various tankless brands in commercial settings, such as Navien, Rinnai, Noritz, and Rheem.
At Earl’s Plumbing, we would never install a tankless system without first making sure that it will be the best fit for your operation.
Before we install a tankless water heater (or set of interconnected units), we’ll make sure that you won’t face any problems or inconveniences after installation. That means no cold water sandwich effect, no hot water wait times, no flow rate problems, and no water pressure issues.
The other consideration to make is proper installation. Though certain models, like the Navien NPE-240A2, can be used in both commercial and residential applications, you need a plumbing contractor that understands the unique configurations and programming for each situation. As a Navien Factory Certified and Level 3 trained team, Earl’s Plumbing is the right choice for the job.
Tankless types are a little different, in that they all require some maintenance to prevent damage to the heat exchanger caused by mineral and scale build-up. The recommended service schedule varies by manufacturer, but typically, we recommend having them professionally cleaned and maintained once every 500 hours of use. If you run a food service business, you should have them examined every 6 months at least.
Many businesses are required by law to have hot water in bathrooms and kitchens at all times. And many water heater repair warranties will be voided if you can’t show proof of regular maintenance. That’s why regular maintenance and upkeep is so important!
We can help you find, repair, and replace these devices, including:
- Recirculation Pumps: These pumps help keep the wait time for hot water down to the code-required minimum. We can help you size and install the right recirculation pump.
- Anti-Scald Devices: These devices are often required in situations where water is shared throughout a building. They’re especially important when extremely hot water is necessary for some applications (such as sanitizing dishes) but would be dangerous for public use (handwashing sinks). Let our team help you protect your guests from harm— and your business from litigation.
- Water Quality Systems: Several water treatment products are available to improve the overall quality of the water you can offer your employees and clientele. These include water filtration and conditioning systems, water softener systems, and more.
