Is It Time to Replace Your Commercial Water Heater?
Although commercial water tanks tend to last longer, they do not last forever, and there are plenty of aging hot water tanks in older buildings across the United States. There will eventually come a time when a manager will face the choice of commercial water heater repair or total replacement.
Here is Signs It May Be Time to Replace:
Water Fails to Heat
If you are getting complaints about the water in your building is not hot enough, that is a clear sign something is wrong. The issue could be a simple repair or needing to replace the entire system.
Leaks
Keep a watchful eye for any visible drips on or around water tanks. Even minor ones can add up over time, result in water damage to a building, and could be a sign that it might be time to replace or repair equipment.
Visible Rust and Aging
Looks, as they say, can be deceiving. Just because a water heater appears rusty or dilapidated doesn’t always mean it needs replacing, although this is a sign that your system is getting on in years. If your hot water system still works, don’t be overly concerned about rust until a professional technician tells you otherwise.
Being the facility manager at a large commercial building, university, or hospital is no easy feat because the list of things to do never stops and often becomes even more significant. The giant aging water heater in a basement could chug along for years without needing too much attention. Until the day it starts to create too many problems, and repairing it ceases to be possible. That is when replacement is necessary.
