Commercial Hot Water Systems Perth

The lifespan of a commercial hot water system typically ranges between 10 to 15 years, depending on the system type, usage intensity, and how regularly it is serviced. Gas storage systems tend to last 10-12 years, while heat pump and solar systems can last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. At Proud Plumbing, our scheduled maintenance programs are designed to maximise the lifespan of your system and catch issues before they become costly failures.

Choosing the right size depends on several factors — the number of people using hot water, peak demand times, the type of business, and whether hot water is used for production or just amenities. A hotel with 100 rooms has very different requirements to a small cafe. We conduct a free on-site assessment during business hours to evaluate your specific needs and recommend the most efficient, cost-effective system size for your operation.

We recommend annual servicing for most commercial hot water systems. High-demand environments such as hospitals, hotels, and commercial kitchens may benefit from servicing every six months. Regular maintenance catches small issues before they become expensive repairs, ensures the system is operating at peak efficiency, and extends its overall lifespan. We offer tailored maintenance plans to suit your system type and usage demands.

For most large commercial properties, continuous flow gas systems offer the best balance of upfront cost and ongoing running costs. However, if your property has good solar access, a solar hot water system with a gas booster can significantly reduce energy bills over the long term. Heat pump systems are also increasingly popular for medium-sized commercial properties due to their energy efficiency — using up to 70% less electricity than standard electric systems. We assess your specific property and usage before recommending a system.
