Boiler vs Water Heater
It is necessary to clarify the difference between a boiler vs a water heater. At first glance, it may seem as if boilers and water heaters are the same. However, there are distinctions that can make a significant difference in the financial impact of the prolonged usage of on-demand hot water for commercial use.
A residential water heater provides hot water for a home or “residence”. It provides hot water for cleaning, cooking, bathing, and more. The average residential hot water tank holds up to 40 gallons of water. The average commercial hot water tank holds from 50 to 100 gallons of water.
When you choose a traditional boiler to take care of your hot water needs, you will have to stay on top of regular maintenance for the cast iron boiler vessel as well as the associated heat exchangers, pumps, and piping that undergo intense pressure. In addition, you will take on the ongoing expenses of necessary boiler insurance and additional operation personnel.
