Commercial Tank Water Heater Maintenance

When a plumbing contractor installs the breadth and selection of commercial water heating products that Earl’s Plumbing does, it should go without saying that they repair and maintain these units, too. No company can stock all of the parts for every water heater made. But rest assured, we make it a priority to get your problem diagnosed and get your business up and running as soon as possible.

Most tank-type commercial water heaters are maintenance-free. It helps longevity if you keep the area around the water heater clean and free of supplies and foot traffic. This is especially true if your unit is a fan-forced combustion or direct venting type of heater.

Tankless Water Heater Repairs and Maintenance

ALL brands of tankless water heaters require varying degrees of maintenance. Maintenance suggestions and/or requirements vary by manufacturer. Most manufacturers recommend the unit(s) should be cleaned and serviced every 500 hours of use. Commercial tankless water heaters in food service environments should have their tankless heater(s) maintenance performed at least every 6 months at a minimum.

You may consider more frequent maintenance depending on the volume of dishes that your establishment washes and whether you serve breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner. Ultimately, it’s not our money, but to protect your investment and to prevent costly downtime, make sure that your tankless water heater is serviced and maintained regularly. This will help you avoid irreparable damage to the heat exchanger from calcification, foreign debris, and scale build-up.

It should be noted that warranties for all types of water heaters in commercial applications are often reduced in comparison to their residential counterparts. All warranties have stipulations, and part of that usually requires that the unit be properly installed (see “Installations” above).  Many tankless water heater manufacturers also require that you show proof of regular maintenance should a warranty-related repair or an irreparable failure take place.
