FAQs
What types of commercial water heaters do you install in Ocoee?
We install a full range of commercial water heaters, including high-efficiency gas and electric storage tanks, tankless (on-demand) systems, heat-pump water heaters, and large-volume boilers. Our technicians will evaluate your facility’s hot-water demand, available fuel sources, space constraints, and budget to recommend the best unit for your specific operation—whether that’s a restaurant, hotel, multi-family complex, or light-industrial building.
How long does a typical commercial water heater installation take?
Most standard replacements are completed in one business day (6-8 hours), which includes draining and removing the old unit, setting the new heater, connecting gas/electric and water lines, installing venting, and performing start-up tests. Complex projects—such as boiler systems, multiple heaters in parallel, or major re-piping—can take 2-3 days. We schedule work to minimize downtime and can arrange off-hours installation if your business requires continuous hot water.
Do you handle permitting and code compliance for Ocoee commercial properties?
Yes. Ocoee and Orange County require permits and inspections for commercial water heater installations. Our team secures the necessary permits, coordinates inspection appointments, and ensures the equipment meets all current Florida Building Code, plumbing, mechanical, and energy-efficiency requirements. We also provide documentation for fire-safety and backflow-prevention compliance when applicable.
Can my business stay open during the installation?
In many cases, yes. For facilities that can tolerate a brief hot-water shutdown (e.g., office buildings), we isolate the water heater circuit so the rest of your plumbing stays operational. For hospitality or food-service locations that need continuous hot water, we can stage temporary heaters or schedule installation during low-demand hours—overnight or weekends—to keep your doors open and in compliance with health regulations.
What warranties and maintenance plans do you offer for commercial water heaters?
Most commercial water heaters come with a manufacturer’s warranty ranging from 3 to 10 years on the tank/heat exchanger and 1 year on parts. We register your unit to ensure full coverage and provide our own 1-year labor warranty on installation workmanship. Optional maintenance plans include annual flushing, anode-rod inspection, combustion analysis, and safety-valve testing, which can extend equipment life, preserve energy efficiency, and keep you within warranty terms.
How do I know if my existing commercial water heater needs replacement instead of repair?
Consider replacement when the unit is over 10 years old, shows signs of tank corrosion or leaks, requires frequent repairs, or struggles to meet peak demand even after maintenance. Rising utility bills, rusty water, or audible rumbling can also indicate end-of-life. We provide a detailed cost-benefit analysis comparing repair vs. replacement, factoring in energy savings and potential rebates, so you can make an informed financial decision.
