FAQs
What capacity water heater is suitable for my commercial property in Athens?
The ideal capacity depends on your peak hot-water demand, which we calculate based on fixture count, flow rates, simultaneous usage, and business type (e.g., hotel, restaurant, gym). In most cases, commercial applications require units ranging from 200 L to 2,000 L or multiple linked heaters. During our on-site assessment we measure actual consumption patterns, review future expansion plans, and recommend a system that meets demand with a 15–20 % buffer to avoid shortages while preventing unnecessary energy costs.
Are high-capacity water heaters energy-efficient and compliant with Greek regulations?
Yes. Modern commercial water heaters employ condensing gas technology, high-density insulation, and intelligent controls that can achieve thermal efficiencies of 90 – 98 %. All models we supply meet EU Ecodesign Directive (ErP) standards and the latest Greek building regulations. We also offer solar-assisted and heat-pump hybrids that can cut operating costs by up to 70 % compared to older atmospheric units.
What is the typical installation timeline and disruption level?
For a straightforward replacement in an easily accessible plant room, installation can be completed in one business day, including removal of the old unit. Larger projects that involve hydraulic re-piping, flue upgrades, or integration with BMS controls usually take 2–4 days. We schedule work during low-demand hours when possible, provide temporary hot-water solutions if needed, and strictly follow safety protocols to minimise downtime for your staff and customers.
How often should a commercial water heater be serviced and what does maintenance involve?
Manufacturers recommend professional servicing every 6–12 months. Our maintenance package includes: inspecting and descaling heat exchangers, testing safety valves and thermostats, checking anode rods, flushing sediment, verifying gas pressures or electrical connections, and updating digital control firmware. Routine maintenance extends equipment life, maintains efficiency, keeps warranty coverage valid, and helps you comply with Hellenic fire-safety and occupational regulations.
Do you offer emergency repair services for high-capacity units in Athens?
Absolutely. We operate a 24 / 7 emergency response team that can be on-site anywhere in the Athens metropolitan area within 2 hours. Our vans carry critical spares—burners, control boards, pumps, valves—so most repairs are completed on the first visit. If a part has to be ordered, we can install a temporary high-output mobile heater to keep your business operational.
Are there financial incentives or tax benefits for upgrading to a new commercial water heater?
Yes. The Greek government and EU funds periodically offer subsidies for high-efficiency and renewable-integrated water-heating systems under programmes such as "Κινούμαι Ηλεκτρικά" and the Recovery and Resilience Facility. Businesses may also claim accelerated depreciation on energy-saving equipment. We help you identify current incentives, prepare the necessary documentation, and calculate payback periods so you can make an informed investment decision.
