Hot Water Heating
In today’s plumbing market, there are many hot water heating systems to choose from. We can offer every type of hot water heater on the market. Hot water systems can be supplemented by one of our Solar Thermal systems. Commercial hot water heating can become 400% efficient when installing a Geothermal system. Below are our traditional hot water heating systems to choose from.
Tank Type Hot Water
Tank type water heaters maintain a tank full of hot water at all times. On demand type water heaters are more efficient; however, they cannot offer recirculation lines to cut down on wait time for hot water at the plumbing fixture. A recirculation line will create a constant flow of hot water from the farthest fixture to the hot water tank, eliminating wait time for hot water at a sink, tub, shower, etc.
Electric

This hot water heater offers trouble free use for our customers that do not have propane available in their buildings. These heaters range in every size for every need.

Propane Power Vented

Reliable hot water heating for medium to large homes that have propane but do not have a masonry chimney available for flue piping. The flue piping for this type of water heater is installed with PVC through the band joist of the building.

Indirect

Efficient hot water heating for homes that have a hot water boiler that will heat a tank of potable hot water.

Propane Direct Venting

Reliable hot water heating for medium to large homes that have propane and a masonry chimney available for flue piping.

Tankless Hot Water
Gas Fired Electric
Gas fired tank-less hot water heater are the most efficient conventional way to heat your potable hot water. Fired only when a hot water fixture is used, gas fired tank-less hot water heater modulate their gas train based on the amount of hot water that is needed.


Noritz Installation

Electric tank-less hot water heaters are good for a building that uses very little hot water at a local point such as an office building with a hand washing sink. While not nearly as efficient as their gas fired counterparts, they are much less expensive to install and good for small loads.

Solar Hot Water
Solar w/ Electric Backup Solar w/ Boiler Backup

Ruud Logo

This type of electric hot water heater has a heat exchanger which allows us to connect solar hot water panels. When there is good solar production, the electric element does not energize at all. On days when solar production is fair or poor, the electric element will energize and backup the solar hot water heating system.

Solar Servant

SE Logo

This hot water heater has two heat exchangers. The one at the bottom recieves heat from the solar hot water heater panels. The one at the top recieves heat from the boiler plant. The boiler plant will only contribute when the solar hot water panels are not providing enough hot water.
