Commercial Water Heater Maintenance Is Important Too

Commercial Water Heater Maintenance Is Important Too

Although we talk about the importance of maintenance to your residential water heater, commercial is just as important, so don’t forget about it! From understanding lifespan, volume, efficiency and repairs, we’ve got all the tips covered for you.

Having hot water for businesses, condos, and apartments is extremely important, as it’s required by law for safety reasons. Let the experts help you avoid potential legal issues by having your water heater run to its full potential using our checklist below.

Be Sure To Check The Lifespan 

Much like residential water heaters, commercial water heaters also have a lifespan. Although replacing a water heater can be a hassle and expensive, that’s why we offer commercial rental by taking this pressure off of you. 

Keep in mind that commercial water heaters have a lifespan of 15-20 years with proper professional maintenance. Be sure to check out our guide to know how long you’ve had your water heater, so you aren’t left guessing. If you require, be sure to contact us to help assist you with further inspection and water heater. 

    Volume Is Important Too

    From the get-go, you should consult with an expert to ensure your water heater volume will be efficient to supply the building. If a unit is too small, it will not supply enough hot water for all the buildings. Along with size, if a hot water unit is not receiving regular maintenance, it has the possibility for sediment build-up which reduces the amount of water inside. Due to this, the amount of hot water flowing through the pipes with decrease which can cause legality issues. If you need assistance with a consult or maintenance, contact us right away. 

    Efficiency Is Everything

    Bradford White Water Heaters

    We rent gas and electric water heaters for both residential and commercial use. Our preferred brand is Bradford White because of its high-quality product and proven efficiency. They are easy to install in tight spots with a zero-clearance requirement for sides and back – perfect for condos or if you want a little more usable space. Bradford White water heaters use efficient and clean combustion on all models and sizes, meeting or exceeding emission regulations. Finally, they use the highest BTUs for more hot water on demand and a quicker recovery so you get hot water when you want it.

    Some other features of Bradford White:

        • Hydrojet Total Performance System is a high-efficiency, high-deliverability, and highly effective self-cleaning system.
        • Proven burner design that provides many years of trouble-free operation to keep costs and problems at a minimum.
        • Uses the world’s best glass tank lining – Vitraglass.
        • CombiCor gas-fired heaters are great for both residential water and space heating.

    The Cost to Maintain

    A water heater is crucial to keep your water hot and keep you and your family comfortable. Water heaters use several advanced technologies to keep your water hot efficiently so you can save time and money. Maintenance should be done by a professional to ensure everything is running smoothly.

    If you buy a water heater, the purchase and installation will cost approximately $1,500 depending on the style and type of water heater you choose. That’s just getting it in your house. Regular maintenance, to avoid purchasing a new one before your mortgage renewal, is another added cost. You can expect at least $150 for service. But if it breaks down, you are looking at hundreds of dollars more (and potentially the additional cost of a plumber if there is a water leak) to get your water heater repaired including the cost of labour and parts.

    When you rent with Reliance Heath Water Heater Rentals, you pay one annual fee for your water heater and you do not pay for anything else! No installation fees, no service fees, and no repair fees. It’s all included as part of your rental. 

    That means your routine maintenance is included. We do this annually to make sure your water heater is working trouble-free as much as possible. We repeat: service calls and maintenance visits are free of charge. We perform a thorough 12-point inspection of the critical parts of your water heater every year and if yours is showing signs of wear, we take care of everything including parts, repairs, and upgrades.

    Signs You Need A New Water Heater

    Signs You Need A New Water Heater

    Replacing a water heater can be a daunting task, but that’s why we’re here to help provide you with easy and convenient service from start to finish. Why buy, when you can rent! If you’re suspicious of your water heater becoming run down, here’s a list of signs that its time for a replacement.

    There’s A Leak 

    If you notice a leak underneath or by your water heater it may be time to replace it. Be sure to quickly inspect where the water source is coming from to rule out any loose pipes or fittings. If you’re unsure of the leak source and severity, be sure to contact us to help assist you with further inspection and water heater replacement.

    Your Water Comes Out Rusty

    If the water in your home comes out rusty or metallic when you turn on your taps, your water heater might need replacing. Be sure to test this to ensure it’s not your pipes by very carefully (caution: hot water!) draining three buckets of water from the tank. If by the third bucket, the water is still rusty or metallic, it is a sign that your water heater is rotting from the inside. If you need replacing or assistance assessing the rust source, contact us right away.

    Your Unit Makes A Lot of Sound 

    If your water heater is not serviced regularly, it can begin collecting a buildup of sediment in the tank. Once there is a solid buildup, it can create a rumbling sound as your water heater is trying to work. This buildup can also cause leaks over time, deteriorating your water heater faster than expected. If you’re experiencing this, be sure to book a maintenance appointment with us so that we can assess the severity of the situation.

    It’s 10 Years or Older 

    A water heater’s lifetime is around ten years depending on how often you get it serviced and the type of care it has received. If your water heater is approaching or past its ten-year mark, we suggest exploring new options. Rather than buy, consider renting and save yourself some hassle – did we mention we offer free maintenance? 

    Unsure about how old your water heater is? Be sure to check the install label’s date or check the serial number.

    No matter your water heater needs, Reliance Heath Water Heater Rentals is here to help. Along with having the relief of renting your unit, rather than outright buying it, we provide you with free-of-charge maintenance and service. For more information, be sure to contact us today.

    The Benefits of a Bradford White Water Heater

    The Benefits of a Bradford White Water Heater

    We offer only rent the best water heaters on the market to ensure the best user experience. Our range of Bradford White water heaters allows you to select the option that will best suit your needs whether you’re in need of a residential or commercial system.

     

    Water Heaters

    At Reliance, we offer both electric and gas Bradford White water heaters to provide you with an option that best suits your needs. Each system type runs differently from one another to provide you with hot water in your home. 

    Gas water heaters work by having cold water flow into the tank, which is then heated by a gas burner. This form brings extremely hot gas into the middle of the chimney in the tank. Once the chimney is hot, the gas will then flow out and will slowly heat the water. As the hot water rises in the tank, it begins to flow through the pipes of your home. 

    Electric water heaters essentially work the same as a gas water heater with the water being heated, rising to the top of the tank and then flowing through the pipes of your home. The only major difference between the two is that the water is heated using electric elements, thus the heater must be plugged into a power supply.
