On-Site Evaluation & Sizing

When Hot Water Goes Out, Business Stops.
For most businesses, hot water isn’t a luxury — it’s required. Health departments, customer comfort, and tenant satisfaction all depend on reliable hot water. A failing commercial water heater can mean cold dishwashers, closed restrooms, and angry customers.
Maybe you’ve noticed lukewarm water, rusty discoloration, or the breaker tripping. Maybe the tank finally burst. Either way, you can’t afford a long, drawn-out project or a “temporary” fix that fails again in a few months.

Why a Reliable Commercial Water Heater Is Essential
A properly sized, correctly installed commercial water heater protects your reputation, your building, and your bottom line. Undersized, aging, or poorly installed systems cost you in constant callbacks, higher energy bills, and surprise shutdowns.
- Health & safety: Consistent hot water helps you stay in compliance with health and safety regulations.
- Customer experience: No more cold bathrooms, unhappy tenants, or dishwashers that won’t sanitize.
- Lower operating costs: Newer high-efficiency models can significantly reduce gas or electric usage.

Commercial Water Heater FAQs
Here are answers to some of the most common questions we hear from Omaha-area business owners and property managers.
Do you offer emergency commercial water heater service?
Yes. If your business is without hot water or you have a leaking tank, call us right away. We’ll talk through the situation, help you shut things down safely if needed, and dispatch a commercial tech as quickly as possible.
Can you work on large tanks and multiple-unit systems?
We regularly service and replace large commercial tanks, tankless banks, and light commercial boiler-fed systems. We’ll evaluate your current setup, your peak demand, and any recirculation loops to design a solution that actually fits how your building uses hot water.
How long does a typical commercial water heater replacement take?
Most like-for-like replacements can be completed in a single visit, although complex mechanical rooms or major re-piping may require additional time. We plan the work around your hours to minimize disruption, and we’ll communicate clear start and completion times before we begin.
Do you pull permits and coordinate inspections?
Yes. When permits are required, Omaha Drain handles the paperwork and coordinates inspection so your upgrade is fully documented for landlords, insurers, and code officials.
Can you help me budget for a future upgrade?
Absolutely. Even if your current system is limping along, we can evaluate it now, provide a written plan and budget range, and help you schedule the project during a slower season so you’re not forced into an emergency replacement.
