We install, repair, and maintain commercial water heaters for Charleston restaurants, apartment buildings, offices, and other facilities that cannot afford to lose hot water. Charleston’s hard water leaves scale and sediment in tanks and heat exchangers, which is why we size, install, and service equipment with that in mind. We work on both gas and electric units, including tankless models, and we are licensed in South Carolina, CLM.118214. Call us at 843-405-8800.

We offer comprehensive services for commercial water heater installation and repair:

• Installation: We provide expert installation of various types of commercial water heaters, including tankless, gas, electric, and indirect models, tailored to the specific needs and scale of your business.
• Repair: Our skilled technicians diagnose and fix issues like leaks, insufficient heating, noise, or system failures. We handle repairs for all brands and models, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations.
• Maintenance: Regular maintenance checks to prevent breakdowns, extend the lifespan of your equipment, and enhance efficiency. This includes descaling, anode rod replacement, and thermostat checks.
• Urgent Repairs: When a unit fails, we offer same-day and after-hours emergency repair for commercial customers so your facility gets hot water back as quickly as we can manage. Call 843-405-8800 and we will tell you when we can be there.
• Upgrades and Replacements: When current systems are beyond repair or when upgrading for efficiency or capacity, we manage the full process from assessment to installation of new, high-efficiency units.

Tank or tankless for a commercial kitchen?

It depends on your peak demand and your gas or electrical capacity. A tank unit stores hot water and handles heavy back-to-back demand, like a dish pit at close, without much fuss. Tankless heats on demand, saves floor space, and can be banked for higher flow, but it needs adequate gas supply and venting and it is less forgiving of scale. We look at your fixture count, your recovery needs, and your existing gas and electrical service before we recommend one.

How often should a commercial water heater be descaled in Charleston hard water?

There is no single number that fits every building. Hard water in the Lowcountry drops scale on heating surfaces, and how fast that happens depends on your water, your usage, and your equipment. The right answer is to put descaling on a maintenance schedule and adjust it based on what we find at each visit. If you are seeing longer recovery times, popping or rumbling from the tank, or a drop in efficiency, it is time.

Should I repair or replace my commercial water heater?

If the unit is relatively young, the failure is a single component like a thermostat, element, gas valve, or thermocouple, and the tank itself is sound, a repair is usually the better spend. If the tank is leaking, the unit is near the end of its service life, or repairs are stacking up, replacement is the more honest option. We will tell you the cost of both and let you decide.
