Athens Commercial Water Heater Repair

Common Water Heater Problems in Georgia Businesses

Burner Assembly & Heavy-Duty Heating Element Repairs

Commercial burners and high-capacity heating elements wear down under constant demand, leading to inconsistent temperatures during peak business hours. We replace and configure commercial-grade components designed for high-output systems used in kitchens, laundry facilities, and multi-restroom properties.

Thermostat Calibration Issues

Large facilities rely on precise temperature control to meet sanitation standards. When commercial thermostats drift out of calibration, water may run too cool for health compliance or too hot for safe use. We test, recalibrate, and fine-tune temperature controls to align with operational requirements.

Recirculation Pump Failures

Many commercial buildings use hot water recirculation systems to serve distant fixtures quickly. A failing pump can cause long delays and uneven temperatures. We service and replace commercial recirculation pumps to restore consistent hot water delivery.

Sediment Buildup in High-Volume Tanks

Heavy daily usage causes sediment to accumulate faster in commercial tanks, reducing heating efficiency and available capacity. We perform commercial tank flushing and internal inspections to remove buildup and improve system performance.

Leaking Commercial Pressure Relief Valves

In high-capacity systems, worn or malfunctioning relief valves can lead to pressure fluctuations or water discharge near the unit. We test system pressure, replace faulty valves, and confirm safe operating levels for large-scale commercial equipment.

Heat Exchanger Issues in Tankless Systems

Commercial tankless systems operate continuously in restaurants and hospitality settings. Mineral buildup or heat exchanger strain can reduce output. We descale and service heat exchangers to maintain consistent performance during high-demand periods.

Expansion Tank Problems in Closed Systems

Large commercial plumbing systems often require expansion tanks to manage pressure changes. A failed tank can cause pressure spikes and strain. We inspect and replace commercial expansion tanks sized for the property’s system load.

Signs You Need Commercial Water Heater Repair

Below are some warning signs that it's time to contact our commercial water heater repair experts:

• No hot water
• Low water pressure
• Frequent system failures
• Rusty or discolored water
• Inconsistent water temperatures
• Unreasonably long heating times
• Banging, popping, or rumbling sounds
• Pooled water around the base of the unit

How Can Hard Water Affect Commercial Water Heaters?

Hard water contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can damage heating elements and cause sediment buildup in tanks over time. In high-demand facilities, hard water can also reduce efficiency, limit available hot water capacity, increase energy costs, and shorten the lifespan of your water heater.

Our team performs commercial-scale descaling, tank flushing, and internal inspections to remove mineral deposits and extend the longevity of your water heater. We can inspect your current system and recommend targeted softening, treatment, or filtration solutions if needed to support efficient long-term operation. 

Should I Repair or Replace My Commercial Water Heater?

Water heater repair is usually an ideal solution for minor problems or occasional issues. However, repair costs can add up quickly. If your water heater is over 10–12 years old or constantly breaking down, it may be more cost-effective to replace it with a new one. 

Our local pros can evaluate your current system and recommend an economical path forward, whether that means a one-time repair or a full upgrade. As a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, we offer a broad selection of high-quality systems built to last.
