Energy-Efficiency Tips for Your Commercial Water Heater

Eventually, every commercial water heater will need replacement. However, you can take steps to prolong its life and ensure efficient operation. Replacing even a single component of your commercial water heating system can be costly, so keeping up with routine maintenance is crucial. When it’s time to schedule your routine commercial water heater maintenance, CS Mechanical is ready to assist.

Specific codes and regulations apply to commercial water heater installations, and staying compliant is essential. Non-compliance not only risks hefty fines but could also endanger your employees.

Here’s an overview of local regulations and codes for commercial water heaters.

Commercial Water Heater Maintenance

Whether your commercial water heater is brand new or approaching ten years, regular maintenance is crucial to keep it running efficiently. Even energy-efficient commercial water heaters need cleaning and a thorough inspection at least once a year, preferably before peak usage. Ignoring basic maintenance steps could lead to the following:

  • Uncomfortable or unsafe water temperatures
  • Higher energy bills
  • Reduced productivity due to inefficient water heating
  • The need to replace your water heater before its recommended time

Preventing these issues can lower utility costs, ensure consistent water temperatures throughout the facility, and save on repair expenses.

Commercial Water Heater Installation

Regular maintenance can prolong the life of your commercial water heater, but eventually, replacement will be necessary. When that time comes, CS Mechanical is here to assist you through every step of the process.

Our licensed technician will inspect your old water heater. If repairs aren’t possible, we’ll recommend several replacement options tailored to your business’s needs. Our professionals will oversee the installation process, including removing your old unit. After installation, we can help you set up a maintenance schedule to ensure your new commercial water heater operates efficiently for years.

Commercial Water Heater Repair

Your commercial water heater may still require repairs even with a regular maintenance schedule. Signs that it’s time to call CS Mechanical for commercial water heater repair include:

  • Strange or unusual smells coming from the water heater
  • Discolored or inconsistent water temperatures
  • Leaks or puddles near the water heater
  • Unusual noises during the operation
  • Increased energy consumption without an apparent reason
  • Rusty or dirty water output

While some issues, like sediment buildup, are preventable with regular maintenance, other problems can emerge as your water heater ages. Our technicians will assess the situation, recommend solutions that fit your budget, and address the underlying issues.

Commercial Gas Water Heater

Commercial gas water heaters are energy efficient, especially when maintained regularly. We recommend scheduling a service checkup at least once a year. If you smell gas, hear strange noises, or notice unusual vibrations, call CS Mechanical to schedule a service call.

If the gas smells strong, shut off the water heater immediately and report the leak to the proper authorities.
