Hot water while the permanent fix happens
A restaurant without hot water closes. A hotel without hot water refunds rooms. A clinic without hot water fails inspection. Progressive keeps a fleet of temporary commercial water heaters ready for exactly these situations. We deliver the unit, connect it to your water, fuel and power, verify temperature at the fixtures, and take it away when the permanent system is running.
When customers call for a temporary unit
- A failed heater or boiler with a replacement on order.
- Mechanical room renovations, re-piping or pipe lining projects that take the system offline.
- New construction and tenant fit-outs that need hot water before the permanent equipment is in.
- Seasonal or event loads that exceed the installed capacity.
How it works
- Call. Tell us the building, the load and where the unit can sit.
- Delivery and connection. Our plumbers place the unit, make the water, gas or electrical connections, and bring the system up to temperature.
- Permanent repair or replacement. We handle that too, usually in parallel, and remove the rental when it is done.
Frequently asked questions
Are the temporary units Progressive's own equipment?
Yes. They are Progressive-owned units maintained by our plumbers, delivered and connected by the same crew that handles your permanent system.
How quickly can a temporary water heater be on site?
We answer 24/7. Ask about current availability when you call; in an emergency we prioritize buildings that cannot operate without hot water.
Do I need to rent from you to have you do the replacement?
No. The rental is a bridge; you can use it with any permanent solution, although most customers have us do both so there is one point of contact.
Call (877) 325-0180 or request a proposal. Commercial plumbing crews are on call 24/7 across Raleigh, Durham and the Triangle.

Joe Oliveira stopped by my home, took time to understand the problem that I was having with the unit, went back and discussed the issue with his team of experts and had a detailed work order sent to me with in a day. … Based on the experience that I have had with Progressive Plumbing, Heating & Air, Electrical, I will HIGHLY recommend them for HVAC install and maintenance.
