Choosing the Ideal Commercial Water Heater

You should not attempt to purchase a commercial water heater on your own without any expert advice. Even the hot water needs of a small residential home require professional assistance! Imagine how much more hot water a business building requires compared to a house, and you will have an idea of how complicated a task it is to find the right commercial water heater.

Your first step toward picking a new water heater is to contact specialists in commercial plumbing and comfort systems. The professional installers will come to your workplace, examine it, and talk to you about your needs for hot water. The technicians will estimate the average hot water use per day and how large a system they will need to install to meet those demands. They will also discuss your budget plans with you. You are probably interested in saving money, and the installers will go over the various options to show you how much specific water heating systems cost upfront compared to how much they will save in energy-efficient performance over the long-term. If you are also concerned about reducing emissions to benefit the environment, your installers will be able to help in that area as well.

One option to consider that is becoming more popular with each year is the solar water heater. Ask your installers if they can fit your business with a solar water heating system, and they will find out if it is feasible and the savings you will receive from it.

Not every commercial installation company offers solar water heater installation, which is one of the reasons that you should make BZ Dependable Plumbing & Heating, Inc. your first choice for commercial water heater services in Hillsdale, NJ. Along with solar heaters, we offer a wide selection of other commercial systems: we will find and install the one that will do the best job delivering hot water for your company.

The development of the tankless water heater is one of the most significant leaps forward in providing heated water to homes. Tankless systems first appeared in Europe, and are now the most popular option for new homes there. They have since moved to North America, bringing their energy efficiency and convenience to millions of homes.

If you still have an old hot water tank in your home, you should give a tankless system serious consideration as a replacement. Going with a tankless water heater means you will never run out of hot water and you will significantly reduce your energy use. Call the specialists at BZ Dependable Plumbing & Heating, Inc. for more information about installing tankless water heaters in Fair Lawn, NJ. We’ll determine if a tankless system is right for your home.

The operation of tankless water heaters

If you’ve spent most of your life in homes with standard storage water heaters, you may find it strange that a water heater could work without energy applied to a large tank of water. But tankless systems are simpler than you may think.

A tankless water heater attaches to the water main entering your home, and it runs the water through a heat exchanger, a device which transfers heat from one source to another. Tankless water heaters either use natural gas or electricity to generate the heat that they then transfer directly to the water as it passes through the heat exchanger.

However, the heat exchanger only activates when a hot water tap somewhere in the house demands a supply of hot water, and it will only remain on as long as the tap continues to demand hot water. The flow of water toward a hot water tap is what causes the exchanger to turn on and remain on.

This means that 1) you will only use energy to heat the water for a short time, instead of needing constant heat for a storage tank, and 2) you won’t run out of hot water because the heat exchanger will always heat up more whenever you need it.

For professionals to find out the appropriate tankless water heater to meet your needs, they must know the flow rate (the amount of water you’ll need to heat at one time) and the temperature rise (the difference between the temperature of the incoming water and the temperature you need for comfort). Armed with this information, installers will know the ideal sized tankless water heater for your needs.

Tankless water heaters have some other benefits as well: they last 5–10 years longer than storage heaters; they require less space; and you never have to worry about the danger of a burst tank. Although they cost more to install than storage water heaters, their energy savings will soon let them pay for themselves.

If you think that one of the available tankless water heaters in Fair Lawn, NJ might be an excellent choice for your home, give us a call at BZ Dependable Plumbing & Heating, Inc.

When most people think of water heaters, they think of the traditional tanked models that sit in the garage or basement. They heat the water in a large tank which sits idle until you’re ready to use it. You may not know, however, that those aren’t the only types of water heaters available. Tankless models work by passing water through heated metal coils on their way to the faucet, warming them instantly and skipping the need to maintain a large tank. You can find both tanked and tankless water heaters in Emerson, but which one is right for you? Here’s a quick breakdown.

Tanked or Tankless for Your Water Heater?

The biggest benefit of tankless water heaters is that they use less energy than tanked models. Because they operate on a “needs only” basis, they don’t waste any energy, and monthly bills on them can often be quite a bit less. They’re also smaller than tanked models, meaning that you can set them up in out-of-the-way locations like under the sink or above the shower.  That makes them extremely convenient, as well as cost-effective: saving you a great deal of money in monthly costs.

On the other hand, tankless water heaters tend to cost more to install than a tanked model does. Because they’re smaller, they usually work on just one outlet or room, which means you likely need to install multiple units in order to cover the whole house. They also struggle with larger demands, making them excellent for smaller households but problematic for large families or homes that need a lot of water.

Generally speaking, tankless water heaters are well worth the investment if your needs are limited to a one- or two-bathroom house. They also may be excellent options for vacation homes that might not see a lot of use for most of the year. Otherwise, the more traditional type of water heater is probably best. If you’re considering a tankless water heater, Emerson residents have options with BZ Dependable.
