What We Do
Hot water systems built
for commercial demand.
Restaurants need high recovery rates. Hotels need consistent temperature under simultaneous load. Multi-family buildings need systems sized for peak morning usage. We design, install, and service commercial hot water systems that match the actual demand of your facility.
Every installation starts with a load assessment. We calculate peak GPH demand, recovery rate requirements, and simultaneous use — then recommend the right system type and size. We handle the permit, coordinate the inspection, and commission the system before handing it off to your team.

- Step 3:
Permitted Install
Full commercial installation with permit. We coordinate the inspection and handle all code compliance.
- Step 4:
Commissioning & Handoff
System is tested at full load, temperature verified, and your team is walked through operation and maintenance requirements.
System Guide
Tank, tankless, or booster — what does your facility need?
The right system depends on your peak demand, usage pattern, and existing infrastructure. Here's how we think through the decision.
Choosing the right commercial system
Restaurants, hotels, gyms. You need high recovery rate or multiple tankless units in parallel.
Predictable usage with lower peak demand. Tankless offers lower standby loss and longer lifespan.
If you have hot water but it's running cold under load, a booster heater may solve it without full replacement.
Signs your system needs attention
- Running out of hot water during peak hours
- Water heater is 10+ years old
- Energy bills increasing without explanation
- Inconsistent water temperature
- Unit making unusual sounds or leaking
- Upcoming health inspection or permit renewal
FAQ
Common questions
Commercial water heater installation costs vary significantly based on system type, capacity, fuel source, and site conditions. A mid-size tank replacement typically runs less than a full tankless conversion, which requires gas line upgrades and additional venting. We provide a fixed-price proposal after a site visit and load assessment — no surprise line items.
A straightforward tank replacement can be completed in a single day. Tankless conversions, booster installations, or systems requiring gas line work typically take one to two days. We coordinate permit scheduling upfront so inspections don't add unexpected delays to your timeline.
We carry and install AO Smith, Rheem, and Noritz commercial-grade units. These are the brands we trust for reliability, parts availability, and manufacturer support in the Bay Area. If your facility specifies a different brand, contact us to discuss compatibility.
Yes. We install, repair, and maintain commercial tankless water heaters including Noritz and Rheem commercial models. This includes descaling, burner inspection, error code diagnostics, and component replacement. We also design multi-unit parallel configurations for high-demand applications.
Yes. For emergency failures — no hot water, active leaks, or pressure relief valve discharge — we respond the same day whenever possible. Call us directly and describe the system and symptoms. We'll prioritize dispatch and arrive with common parts for the most frequent commercial failures.
Yes. All commercial water heater installations in Concord and Contra Costa County require a permit. We pull the permit, coordinate the inspection, and ensure the installation passes to code. This is included in our installation quote — not an add-on.
Commercial water heaters are built for higher first-hour ratings, faster recovery rates, and continuous high-demand use. They use heavier construction, larger burners or heating elements, and are rated for the simultaneous load requirements of restaurants, hotels, and multi-family buildings. Installing a residential unit in a commercial application will result in premature failure and code violations.
What Clients Say
Trusted by facility managers
and restaurant owners across the Bay Area.
“We run a full-service restaurant and our water heater failed on a Thursday morning. Guerra Bros. came out the same day, diagnosed it, and had a new commercial unit installed by Friday afternoon. Didn't miss a single service.”
“Manage a 40-unit apartment complex in Walnut Creek. They replaced our aging tank system with a properly sized commercial unit, pulled the permit, passed inspection, and handed us the commissioning sheet. Professional start to finish.”
“Our hotel was experiencing cold water complaints during peak check-in hours. Guerra Bros. did a load assessment and recommended a booster heater addition rather than full replacement — saved us thousands and solved the problem.”
