For commercial properties, a reliable water heater is an essential component for day-to-day operations. From providing hot water for restrooms to meeting the demands of kitchens and other facilities, a properly functioning water heater is crucial to keeping your business running smoothly.

A poorly installed water heater can lead to costly plumbing issues, disrupt your operations, and pose a significant safety hazard. Trust Dover for expert service and peace of mind.
Water heaters are relatively simple systems that use gas, propane, or electricity to heat water on demand that then flows through a faucet or fixture.
There are several types of water heaters. The most common is storage water heaters. Usually located in a closet near your washing machine, this water heater is a cylindrical tank with pipes protruding from the top. These water heaters store water, heating it with gas, propane, or electricity.
Tankless heaters have improved water heating technology and are now becoming more popular. Instead of warming the water in a tank, tankless heaters instead heat the water as it flows through the unit on its way to a faucet or fixture. This results in hotter water that is available more quickly.
Although a water heater in a commercial property primarily supports high-demand tasks like providing hot water for restrooms, kitchens, or industrial processes, its consistent performance is critical to daily operations. Proper maintenance of your water heater is essential to ensure efficiency and avoid costly downtime. Repairing water heaters is a complex and potentially dangerous task that should always be handled by a licensed professional.
