What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is a Multi-Unit / Commercial Water Heater Bank?
A water heater bank is a group of two or more water heaters—often commercial-grade or high-input units—installed and piped together to serve:
Multiple dwelling units (apartments, condos, dorms)
Commercial spaces (hotels, gyms, restaurants, laundries)
Common areas (clubhouses, pool showers, locker rooms, HOA facilities)
Key features usually include:
Manifolded hot and cold piping to distribute load across multiple heaters
Staging controls or strategies (one or more heaters lead/lag to match demand)
Isolation valves so individual heaters can be serviced without shutting down the entire system
Integration with recirculation loops and building hot water distribution
When designed and installed properly, a water heater bank provides capacity, redundancy, and recovery that a single heater simply can’t.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Demand-based sizing for multi-unit loads: We look at fixture counts, occupancy, and usage patterns, not just “one size up from what you had.”
Banked and staged systems: We design multi-heater banks with manifold piping, staging, redundancy, and isolation valves so you’re not down if one unit fails.
Commercial & multi-family experience: Familiar with apartment buildings, condos, hotels, small resorts, HOAs, gyms, and restaurants.
Coordination & downtime awareness: We understand that tenants and guests can’t be without hot water—we plan work accordingly.
Inspection- and code-minded: We pay attention to venting, combustion air, gas/electric capacity, pans, drains, T&P discharge, expansion, and recirc loops.
Licensed & insured: Nevada License #0047021, trusted for multi-unit and commercial water heater projects.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Note what’s happening now: no hot water, intermittent outages, slow recovery, or failing units in the bank.
Gather basic info: number of units/rooms, type of property, current heater size/BTU and quantity if visible on labels.
Check where your existing heaters are located (mechanical room, rooftop, closet, exterior) and whether access is tight.
If there is an active leak, turn off water or gas/power to the leaking unit only if it’s safe to do so.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and request multi-unit/commercial water heater bank installation or replacement—let us know if you are currently without hot water or operating on limited capacity.
Common Multi-Unit / Commercial Bank Installation & Replacement Situations
Apartment building with chronic hot water complaints during peak morning or evening use
Hotel or motel with older commercial heaters nearing end of life or failing in rotation
HOA clubhouse / pool house / gym with undersized or failing heaters
Restaurants or laundries with insufficient hot water recovery during service hours
Properties with multiple old heaters patched together over time, but no clear design or redundancy
Insurance, city, or fire inspections flagging old, unsafe, or non-compliant water heater rooms
If your building is relying on aging, mismatched, or undersized heaters, it’s time to look at a properly designed bank or array.
Site Visit & Demand Assessment
You call (702) 438-3357 and tell us about your property and current hot water problems. We schedule a site visit to inspect existing heaters, mechanical room layout, venting, gas/electric service, recirculation loops, and gather fixture counts and occupancy to understand real-world demand.
System Design & Replacement Options
We calculate the BTU/input and storage/recovery required, then propose bank configurations (number of heaters, type, size, and layout) that make sense for your property. We consider redundancy, staging, service access, and code. You receive a clear proposal with options.
Planning, Scheduling & Coordination
Once approved, we coordinate timing to minimize hot water downtime, working with property management, HOAs, facility managers, or GCs. For replacements, we plan changeover windows and any temporary measures if needed.
Removal of Old Heaters & Prep Work
We shut down gas/electric and water, safely remove old heaters, and prepare the space—this may include new supports, revised venting, gas line upgrades, manifold layout changes, and cleanup of the mechanical area.
Installation of New Water Heater Bank & Connections
We set and secure the new heaters, install manifolded hot/cold piping, isolation valves, expansion tanks (where needed), venting (for gas), and recirculation connections. We ensure T&P discharge, pans, and drains are correctly handled.
Startup, Testing & Turnover
We fill, purge, and start the heater bank, verifying ignition/operation, recovery performance, staging (if applicable), recirculation, vent draft, and leak-free joints. We test hot water delivery at representative fixtures, then walk your team through operation basics, shutoffs, and maintenance intervals, and provide documentation for your records and inspectors.
Multi-Unit and Commercial Water Heater Bank Installation and Replacement Active Plumbing fix now
Scope varies by property, but a typical multi-unit / commercial water heater bank installation or replacement includes:
On-site assessment and demand-based system design for your building
Removal and disposal of existing heaters (when included in scope)
Installation of new commercial or high-input water heaters in a bank/array configuration
Manifold piping, isolation valves, gas/electric, venting, expansion, and recirc tie-ins per code and design
System startup, staging verification (if applicable), and functional testing at key points
Basic training for management/maintenance staff plus documentation of the installation
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Most multi-unit/commercial water heater bank projects require planning and coordination, but many changeouts can be executed in a tightly managed window once equipment is onsite.
You’ll receive itemized, upfront pricing after we complete the site assessment and design, covering equipment, labor, removal/disposal, and any necessary upgrades (gas, venting, drainage, controls).
Main cost drivers include number and size of heaters, commercial grade vs. high-recovery units, location and access (mech room, rooftop, tight closets), extent of piping and venting changes, and whether recirc/controls are being added or reworked.
We’ll be transparent about options to phase work (where possible) and any lead times for specific commercial equipment.
Insurance & Claims Help
Multi-unit and commercial water heater failures can lead to significant water damage, business interruption, and inspection issues:
If your bank failed and caused damage, we can document condition of the old system, failure points, and corrective actions taken.
For insurance-driven replacements or code-mandated upgrades, our proposals and invoices clearly show what was required for safe, compliant operation.
On HOA and multi-unit properties, our documentation helps boards, owners, and managers understand the scope and necessity of the new system.
(Coverage, depreciation, and claim decisions are always up to your insurer and policy; this is not financial or legal advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Tenant and guest complaints: Running out of hot water during peak times can lead to angry residents, bad reviews, and lost business.
Frequent breakdowns: Overworked, undersized, or mismatched heaters fail more often, increasing emergency calls and costs.
Higher operating costs: Old, inefficient heaters and poorly designed systems can waste gas, electricity, and water.
Safety and code issues: Aging venting, T&P discharge problems, and poor combustion air can create real safety risks and inspection failures.
Unplanned outages: Single points of failure (one old heater) mean a complete loss of hot water when—not if—it finally dies.
A properly designed and installed water heater bank is insurance against constant hot water crises in your building.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Engineered with demand in mind: We base design on fixture units, occupancy, and usage patterns, not guesswork.
Commercial-grade equipment: We use appropriate commercial or high-input heaters designed for the duty cycle of your property.
Proper venting and combustion air: Gas systems are installed with correct vent materials, terminations, draft, and air supply.
Robust manifolds and valves: Piping and isolation valves are sized and arranged for flow, maintenance, and longevity.
Recirculation integration: We design tie-ins that work with existing or new recirc loops, helping maintain consistent temps throughout the building.
Service-friendly layout: We keep access in mind so future maintenance and replacements are more efficient and less disruptive.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you replace just one heater in an existing bank?
Sometimes, but if the system is mismatched or near the end of life, it may be smarter to plan a coordinated bank replacement. We’ll advise based on what we see.
Do you work with both gas and electric commercial heaters?
Yes. Many multi-unit banks are gas-fired, but we also work with commercial electric systems where appropriate.
Can you help us upgrade from a single large heater to a bank of multiple units?
Yes. We can design a multi-heater bank to improve redundancy, recovery, and serviceability, and explain what that looks like for your property.
Will we be completely without hot water during replacement?
There will be a planned outage window, but we coordinate timing carefully and, in some cases, can stage work to limit downtime.
Can you integrate a new bank with our existing recirculation system?
In many cases, yes. We’ll evaluate the recirc loop, controls, and piping and tie the new bank in appropriately—or recommend recirc improvements if needed.
