Commercial Water Heaters ## One team for every commercial hot water system Progressive started as a commercial plumbing company on Cheek Road in Durham in 1983, and commercial water heating has been a specialty ever since. Our plumbers size, install, service and replace storage tank heaters, tankless banks, condensing high-efficiency units, domestic hot water boilers and solar-assisted systems for facilities across the Triangle. We install and service the commercial lines from [A.O. Smith](/commercial/plumbing/water-heaters/brands/ao-smith), [State](/commercial/plumbing/water-heaters/brands/state), [Rinnai](/commercial/plumbing/water-heaters/brands/rinnai) and [Noritz](/commercial/plumbing/water-heaters/brands/noritz), and we keep the parts and the people to keep them running. ## What we do - **Sizing and design.** Peak-demand and recovery calculations for kitchens, laundries, showers and process loads, so the system is right for the building rather than for the catalogue. - **Installation and replacement.** Gas, electric and tankless, including venting, gas piping, recirculation loops, mixing valves and expansion control. - **[Repair and emergency replacement](/commercial/plumbing/water-heaters/repair).** 24/7 response. When a unit cannot be saved, we swap it, and when a swap will take longer than you can be down, we bring in a [temporary hot water unit](/commercial/plumbing/water-heaters/temporary). - **Maintenance agreements.** Scheduled flushing, anode and element inspection, venting and combustion checks, and a written record for your files. ## Systems we install - [Commercial tankless water heaters](/commercial/plumbing/water-heaters/tankless), singly or in racked banks for high, variable demand. - [High-efficiency condensing water heaters](/commercial/plumbing/water-heaters/high-efficiency) for buildings paying too much for gas. - [Domestic hot water boilers and storage](/commercial/plumbing/water-heaters/boilers) for hotels, multifamily and healthcare. - [Solar water heating](/commercial/plumbing/water-heaters/solar) to cut fuel use on large, steady loads. - [Temporary hot water rentals](/commercial/plumbing/water-heaters/temporary) for outages, renovations and construction. ## Who we serve Restaurants and commercial kitchens, hotels and hospitality, apartment and condominium communities, healthcare and senior living, schools and universities, laundries and car washes, and industrial process loads. If hot water is part of how your building makes money, we have probably worked on a system like yours. ## Frequently asked questions How fast can you replace a failed commercial water heater?We answer 24/7 and stock common commercial units. Most straightforward swaps happen the same or next day; where a custom unit has lead time, we install a temporary hot water unit so the building keeps running. Which brands do you install?A.O. Smith, State, Rinnai and Noritz commercial lines. We will recommend the unit that fits the load, the fuel and the space rather than a single brand. Do you offer maintenance agreements?Yes. Scheduled service visits with flushing, inspection and combustion checks, plus priority response if something fails between visits. Can you handle the gas, venting and permits?Yes. Progressive is a licensed plumbing, HVAC and electrical contractor, so gas piping, venting, electrical connections and permits are handled by one crew. **Call (877) 325-0180** or [request a proposal](/contact). Commercial plumbing crews are on call 24/7 across Raleigh, Durham and the Triangle. [ Commercial Tankless Water Heaters Endless hot water without a room full of tanks.
