Maximizing Efficiency: Choosing the Right Water Heater for Your Commercial Space

Selecting the right water heater for a commercial space is more than just about meeting hot water needs; it’s also about maximizing energy efficiency, managing operational costs, and optimizing space. For businesses, the implications of this choice can be significant, influencing daily operations and long-term expenses. Each type of water heater – whether tankless, solar, or conventional – comes with its own set of benefits and limitations that can significantly impact business operations. Understanding these differences and how they align with your business requirements is critical. Whether you operate a small cafe that relies on a constant supply of hot water or a large industrial facility with varying peak times for hot water usage, each scenario demands a tailored approach. We will explore how assessing your specific hot water demands, the energy efficiency of different heaters, and installation logistics can guide you in making the best choice for your business. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge to choose a system that not only delivers on performance but also contributes to your business’s sustainability goals.

Understanding Different Types of Commercial Water Heaters

Commercial water heaters are pivotal in ensuring the smooth operation of businesses, especially those that require a constant supply of hot water, like restaurants, hotels, and laundry services. We offer a range of water heating solutions, each with unique benefits and limitations to suit various business needs. Firstly, tankless water heaters are ideal for businesses looking for efficiency and space-saving benefits. These systems heat water on demand, providing a continuous supply without the need for a storage tank. On the other hand, solar water heaters utilize renewable energy, which can significantly reduce energy costs and carbon footprints but depend heavily on weather conditions. Lastly, conventional storage water heaters are known for their simplicity and lower initial costs, yet they may lead to higher operational costs due to heat losses from the tank. Comparing these options, tankless systems offer greater energy efficiency and space savings, making them suited for businesses with limited space and high hot water demands. Solar heaters provide eco-friendly benefits but require a significant upfront investment, which is ideal for businesses committed to sustainability. Conventional heaters, while cost-effective initially, can increase operating expenses over time due to their continuous heating requirements. When selecting a water heater, considering these factors will help you choose the system that aligns best with your business requirements and goals.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Water Heater for Your Commercial Space

The selection of a water heater for commercial use should be guided by several critical factors to ensure efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and reliability. First, assess the hot water demands of your business. High-volume users such as gyms or restaurants will need robust systems that can deliver hot water quickly and in large amounts, making tankless or large-capacity storage heaters ideal options. The second factor to consider is energy efficiency. Water heating can account for a significant portion of energy costs in commercial settings, so choosing a system with a high energy factor rating is crucial for keeping operating costs down. Moreover, space constraints within your commercial property can also dictate the type of water heater you choose. For instance, businesses with limited space may benefit from the compact design of tankless water heaters, which can be installed in smaller or restricted areas. Lastly, the installation logistics should be carefully planned to ensure compliance with local codes and minimal disruption to business operations. Our technicians specialize in providing tailored recommendations and seamless installation services, ensuring that the chosen water heater system fits perfectly within your spatial and operational parameters. By evaluating these factors, you can invest in a water heating system that not only meets your immediate needs but also serves your business efficiently in the long run.

Benefits of High-Efficiency Water Heaters and Their Impact on Operating Costs

High-efficiency water heaters are revolutionizing how businesses manage their energy consumption and operational costs. These advanced appliances are designed to utilize less energy while delivering the same or greater levels of performance as their less efficient counterparts. By adopting energy-efficient water heaters, businesses can experience significant reductions in monthly utility bills. The use of advanced heating technologies, like condensing and tankless models, means less waste and more effective water heating. Over time, the energy savings can translate into substantial financial benefits, outweighing the initial investment costs and providing a compelling return on investment. Investing in high-efficiency units not only reflects a commitment to operational excellence but also supports sustainability initiatives, a factor increasingly important to customers and stakeholders alike.

Several experiences with licensed plumbers over the years—mostly mediocre. Jared with Infinity Plumbing is a distinguished stand-out within this profession, perhaps in part because he IS Infinity Plumbing, so stands-to-reason that he ensures each task/job is completed to high standard of excellence. Total accountability! No more need to research plumbing companies or roll the dice on potential outcomes. Jared/Infinity Plumbing is a solid choice with predictably excellent outcome, and equally excellent value for the high-quality work.

Breznic G.

Beginning to end, consummate professionalism. As communicated, Jared arrived as expected, quickly diagnosed issue, provided clear explanation, reasonable pricing, and then fitted our project into his busy schedule within a couple/few days. Besides being personable, verifiably honest, and committed to completing the job within 2-days, the workmanship was clean, neat and overall excellent, as something you’d find illustrated in a text book. During the 15+ years in Tulsa/BA, I’ve dealt with approx. 5 different plumbing companies, and Infinity Plumbing (Jared) now holds the top spot in my experience. No close second, and that’s saying a lot because my previous experiences have been relatively good ones. Infinity Plumbing is positively the best!
Katie O.

I worked with Jared and it was a great experience! He was professional, respectful and communicative about what needed to be completed. I would recommend this company to anyone that needs major plumbing work done in their home.

Leo T.

Very hard worker. This was a complex project including a tankless water heater, water softener and filter. All installed in a confined space. Also worked around our needs for water during the day. Left everything neat and clean. We are well satisfied with the quality work.

Leah M.

I'll never use another plumber. Infinity Plumbing is high quality, dependable, so easy to work with and does the job right. I trust them completely.
Patty W.

Jared was very polite. Cleaned up everything after installing a faucet for 3 sinks. He made sure everything was 100% right before he left. I will not only use Infinity Plumbing again, I have already recommended this company to neighbors and family.

Billy S.

Another excellent visit by Jared. This time annual cleaning of warm water heater. Job was performed very professionally: on time, friendly, taking time to answer all questions, and making suggestions on general improvements.
Also impressed by the friendly staff in the office, who are very helpful/friendly/knowledgeable over the phone, and who can help with last-minute changes in appointment.
Again: I can highly recommend Jared and Infinity services

Posting in 2021
I found Jared and Infinity via excellent Google reviews. And indeed.... all good reviews were true !!! Jared did an excellent job fixing our tankless warm-water heater.
Almost more importantly, he very well explained the problems we were facing (taking the time, and not rushed) , and what to do to prevent future problems. It was clear he was very skilled and experienced on our model (we have the Navien brand). Moreover, Jared is extremely friendly, polite, and very respectful. I can highly recommend Jared and Infinity. And not to forget Marianne, who took care of my phone-calls to make the appointment, and alert me on Jared's arrival: She is very helpful and friendly, and eager to help or taking the time to explain. Looking forward to continue using this company for future work in our house!!!

Joseph H.

I can't say enough good things about Jared and Infinity Plumbing. Besides the items above, we found Jared to be honest, quick, efficient, and very competent. It was easy to trust him, and he delivered on that trust for us. We have found our plumber and plumbing company.

Service was very friendly and professional. Tech was on time and stayed until job was completed. Work appears to be very high quality. Thanks Jared!
Deborah Z.

Jared did a great job installing a tankless system for us. From our initial estimate to the final cleanup he was courteous, personable and professional. Communication with this company was excellent. Infinity plumbing has been very easy to work with and you can tell that customer service is important to them. I will definitely use Jared again when the need arises and I will recommend this company to others.

Vera A.

Jared is hands down the best plumber I have had the pleasure to work with! Jared installed a Pelican Whole House system plus Grain Softener for my husband and me. The install was the most professional and best looking work I have ever seen. I have lived various places around the country with whole house systems at each home. This was the best job I have ever seen. He also recently changed a kitchen water filter, serviced our On Demand water heater and educated us about many aspects of our new home for which he charged nothing for his time. I am very impressed to say the least!

richard p.

Jarred was professional and carefully explained our options. completed the work in a reasonable amount of time.
Sean R.

They were responsive and professional and treated us with respect and were so very helpful to answer any questions we had as we went thru the process of replacing our instant hot water heater.

Julia D.

Terrific communication, showed up when said, great work ethic, come in get the job done and gone. I personally prefer to use locally owned businesses and shun the major companies to help out the local economy. The money stays in Tulsa. These guys are on my recall list for whenever I plumbing help and you should to.

Roger H.

Jared serviced my tankless hot water tank and as always he does great honest work very well pleased.
