FAQs
What types of high-capacity water heaters do you install for commercial properties in Shelbyville?
We install and service gas-fired, electric, heat-pump, and high-efficiency condensing water heaters ranging from 80 to 1,000+ gallons. For facilities with extreme demand, we also configure modular, rack-mounted tankless systems that can be banked together to reach millions of BTUs.
How do I know what size water heater my business needs?
Our technicians perform an on-site usage analysis considering fixture count, peak-hour demand, incoming water temperature, and simultaneous draw requirements. We then reference ASHRAE sizing tables and Shelbyville plumbing code to recommend a properly sized unit that prevents pressure drops or temperature swings during peak periods.
How long does a commercial water heater installation typically take?
A standard replacement in an accessible mechanical room can often be completed in one business day, including removal, rigging, piping, and start-up. For large boilers, rooftop placements, or new-build tie-ins, the timeline can extend to 2–3 days to accommodate crane lifts, venting alterations, and code inspections.
What local codes and permits apply to commercial water heater replacement in Shelbyville?
Shelbyville follows the 2018 International Plumbing Code with amendments. Any water heater over 100,000 BTU or 120 gallons requires a mechanical permit, backflow prevention, temperature-pressure relief valves, seismic strapping, and a final inspection by the Shelbyville Building & Code Enforcement Department.
Do you offer preventive maintenance plans for high-capacity units?
Yes. Our quarterly and semi-annual plans include tank flushes to remove sediment, anode rod inspections, burner cleaning, safety-valve testing, and calibration of control boards. Regular maintenance can extend equipment life by 5–7 years and is often required to keep manufacturer warranties valid.
Can you provide 24/7 emergency repairs for commercial water heaters in Shelbyville?
Absolutely. Our on-call technicians are available around the clock. We stock common parts for major brands and can dispatch within one hour of your call, minimizing downtime for hotels, restaurants, healthcare facilities, and other critical operations.
