Why Would Anyone Rent a Water Heater?

Commercial water equipment is pricey! It can be much more so than the residential heaters found at hardware stores. Renting can be a wonderful solution to this. Renting alleviates the upfront cost of equipment and often install too—and replacement is included when the equipment fails.
But renting also includes ongoing service coverage on that equipment. And for businesses that depend on hot water to stay in operation, that ongoing service coverage is crucial, because their livelihood depends on having hot water available exactly when they need it. Unfortunately, a water heater will typically break down at the worst time: when it’s in high demand and stressed from constant use.
