What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is a High-Recovery / Commercial-Grade Water Heater?
A high-recovery or commercial-grade water heater is a tank-style unit designed to:
Deliver more hot water per hour by using higher BTU input (gas) or higher output elements (electric)
Reheat faster between draws so you don’t run out as quickly
Withstand heavier, more frequent use than standard residential heaters
These units are commonly used in:
Restaurants and food service
Salons, spas, and barber shops
Small gyms or facilities with showers
Multi-unit / HOA common-area water heaters
Large or high-demand homes that standard tanks can’t satisfy
The installation must address fuel supply, venting, space, access, drains, and safety components appropriate for the unit’s size and input.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Demand-based sizing: We size your system for real-world peak usage, not just “closest tank on the shelf.”
Commercial & heavy-use experience: We work in restaurants, salons, small commercial spaces, multi-unit properties, and large homes.
Gas, venting & code aware: We look at the whole system—gas input, venting, flue, clearances, and safety.
Las Vegas conditions in mind: We understand hard water, high temps, and local installation realities.
Clean, professional installs: Organized piping, labeled valves, and inspection-ready work.
Licensed & insured: Nevada License #0047021, trusted across the valley for water heater installations.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Make a note of your current water heater type, size, and fuel (gas or electric), plus any model info from the label if you can see it.
Think about when you run out of hot water: mornings, lunch rush, evenings, peak service periods.
List your hot water loads: number of sinks, showers, dishwashers, laundry equipment, or service fixtures.
If your existing heater is leaking or failed, shut off water and gas/power to the unit if it’s safe to do so.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and let us know you’re interested in a high-recovery or commercial-grade water heater installation, and whether you’re down on hot water right now.
Common Situations for High-Recovery / Commercial-Grade Installation
Restaurants running out of hot water during dishwashing and service rush
Salons that need consistent hot water for back-to-back clients
Offices or facilities with employee showers that standard tanks can’t support
Laundries or small commercial properties with high hot-water turnover
Larger homes with multiple showers, big tubs, and heavy simultaneous use
Replacement of an undersized or repeatedly failing standard tank in a high-demand application
If you’re scheduling your day around “when we’ll have hot water again”, your heater likely isn’t sized or built for your current demand.
Consultation & Demand Discussion
You call (702) 438-3357 and tell us about your property (home, restaurant, salon, office, etc.), your current water heater, and when you’re running out of hot water. We gather fixture counts, usage patterns, and any current issues to understand demand.
On-Site Evaluation & System Sizing
We visit your property to inspect your existing water heater location, gas/electric supply, venting, space, and access. We evaluate peak demand and recovery needs and recommend high-recovery or commercial-grade options sized for your application.
Proposal & Installation Plan
We provide a line-item proposal outlining the recommended unit(s), any needed gas/electrical/venting upgrades, safety components (pans, drains, expansion where applicable), and labor. We explain the pros/cons and expectations in plain language.
Removal of Old Unit & Preparation
On installation day, we shut off gas/power and water to the existing heater, drain and remove it, and prepare the space. Prep may include adjusting piping, venting, supports, or clearances to accommodate a larger or higher-input unit.
Installation of High-Recovery / Commercial-Grade Heater
We set and secure the new heater(s), then install or adapt water, gas/electric, and vent connections according to code and manufacturer instructions. We ensure T&P relief, discharge lines, and any required pans or drains are properly installed and accessible.
Startup, Testing & Turnover
We fill and purge the tank, restore gas or power, and start the heater, verifying proper ignition (gas), heating performance, recovery, and venting. We test hot water delivery at key fixtures, check for leaks, and walk you through basic operation, temperature settings, shutoff locations, and realistic expectations for the new system.

Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Many single-unit replacements can be done in one scheduled visit, though higher-input and commercial installs may take longer or require phased work.
You’ll receive upfront, itemized pricing after we evaluate your space, demand, and the type/size of heater required.
Main cost drivers include tank size, BTU/input rating, fuel type, venting complexity, gas/electric upgrades, location/access, and any additional safety or code items (expansion, pans, drains, etc.).
We coordinate timing to minimize downtime, especially for businesses that rely heavily on hot water.
Insurance & Claims Help
High-demand heaters are often replaced after failures, leaks, or code issues, sometimes tied to insurance or inspections:
If your old heater leaked or failed, we can document what we found and what we installed as the corrective solution.
For commercial and multi-unit properties, our documentation can help owners, managers, and insurers understand the upgraded capacity and code compliance.
We coordinate with restoration contractors or GCs when the installation is part of a broader repair or remodel.
(Coverage and claim decisions depend on your insurer and policy; this is not financial or legal advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Frequent hot water outages: Customers, staff, or residents are left with cold or lukewarm water.
Shortened equipment life: Residential heaters pushed beyond design can fail sooner and more often.
Higher operating costs and downtime: Constant emergency replacements and service calls add up fast.
Negative customer experience: In businesses, lack of hot water can hurt reviews and repeat business.
Inspection or compliance issues: Some applications require appropriate capacity and safety features that standard tanks don’t meet.
Choosing the right high-recovery or commercial-grade solution is often cheaper in the long run than replacing “regular” heaters over and over.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Code-compliant, application-appropriate installs: We follow local code and manufacturer requirements for commercial-grade and high-input heaters.
Proper fuel and venting checks: We verify that gas or electrical service and venting are appropriate for the new unit’s demands.
Quality components and supports: We use robust valves, fittings, and supports suited to larger, heavier, or higher-input heaters.
Clearances and access: We maintain proper clearances for service and safety, making future maintenance easier.
Hard-water awareness: When appropriate, we discuss maintenance and treatment options to help extend the life of the new heater in Las Vegas water.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a “commercial-grade” heater, or just a bigger residential one?
If you have heavy or repeated peak demand (like restaurants, salons, or shower-heavy facilities), a high-recovery or commercial-grade unit is often more appropriate and longer-lasting than just “a bit bigger residential tank.”
Can you replace my existing heater with a high-recovery unit in the same spot?
Often yes, but we’ll verify space, venting, gas/electric capacity, and access to make sure it’s safe and code-compliant.
Are high-recovery heaters gas only?
Many are gas, but there are electric options as well in some applications. We’ll discuss what’s practical for your property.
Will a larger or higher-input heater raise my utility bills?
It can use more fuel when running, but because it recovers faster, it can also reduce downtime and “struggling” run time. The tradeoff is usually worth it for operations that can’t be without hot water.
Can you install multiple heaters working together?
In some cases, yes—multi-heater or staged setups can make sense. We can evaluate and explain options for your specific situation.
