Commercial Water Heater Installation Guidelines

Commercial Water Heater Sizing

The correct sizing is crucial if you are looking for a new or replacement water heater for your business. With so many commercial water heaters out there today, here’s what you need to know if you want your commercial water heater installation to be successful.

Depending on how much hot water is needed to run your business, multiple commercial water heater sizes are available that can meet your needs. With so many options, how do you know which type and size to choose? Read on to find out more.

What You Need:

A steady supply of hot water to keep things running smoothly.

The Bottom Line:

Size too small, and you will have insufficient hot water to run your business, more during peak times. However, a size too large, and you will spend too much money upfront and with the long-term operating costs. Whether you run a restaurant or hotel, or any business that depends on hot water, you will need the right water heater.

Commercial Water Heaters versus Residential Water Heaters

There’s a difference between sizing a water heater for a home and sizing a water heater for a business. There isn’t a wide range of size options for residential water heaters because many homes use similar sizes; for example, a household of four people can work around peak usage times and not use hot water appliances while people shower or bathe.

Commercial applications, however, operate under different circumstances, meaning there are other factors to consider when it comes to sizing a water heater for a business, especially one that uses hot water to stay open. For example, apartment complexes, assisted living facilities, and hotels will all have numerous households under one umbrella sharing hot water. So people can’t work around peak times, so commercial water heaters need sizing to accommodate everyone.
