The problems we solve every week
Closed until it is fixed
No hot water fails a health inspection. We treat restaurant calls as emergencies, day or night.
Running out during the rush
Undersized tanks go cold at the busiest hour. We size for your dish machine, sinks and peak covers.
Downtime you cannot afford
We schedule replacements before open or after close so your kitchen never misses a service.
How we work with you
Commercial hot water that keeps up with the line
Demand-based sizing
We look at your dish machine, three-compartment sinks, prep sinks and handwashing stations to size a system that stays hot through the dinner rush.
Tank, tankless racks & boilers
High-BTU commercial tanks, multi-unit tankless racks with redundancy, and storage systems for high-volume kitchens.
Maintenance that prevents failures
Scheduled flushes and inspections catch scale and sediment before they shut you down. Hard water is tough on commercial equipment.

"On a quiet Sunday morning our 25-year-old water heater started leaking. Jen answered in two rings, gathered the make, model and capacity, and gave a detailed, very fair quote immediately. In about 60 minutes, on a Sunday, Mathieu arrived and had the new water heater installed with a drain pan, expansion tank and earthquake straps in under two hours. HOTCO turned a disastrous weekend surprise into a non-event."
"I contacted HOTCO on a Friday night, and by Monday afternoon we had a new 40 gallon Bradford White water heater professionally installed. Charles was prompt, polite and very knowledgeable, had the old heater out and the new one in within two hours, then explained everything he did. We got both value and quality work."
"We woke up Saturday to our water heater leaking into the tray. The nice lady who answered the phone hooked us up right away and Charles showed up at 1:00 p.m. He was friendly, polite, respectful and knowledgeable. My wife and I are seniors and we really appreciate the rapid response."
FAQ
Restaurants & Kitchens water heater questions
Still have a question? Ask our assistant in the corner, or call and talk to a specialist.
Can you come after hours so we do not close?
Yes. We schedule restaurant installs before open or after close whenever possible, and respond 24/7 to emergencies. Call (916) 905-4468.
What size water heater does my restaurant need?
It depends on your dish machine, sinks, handwashing stations and peak hourly demand. We do an on-site assessment and size the system to your real usage.
Is tankless a good fit for a restaurant?
Often, yes. A rack of commercial tankless units delivers continuous hot water and built-in redundancy: if one unit needs service, the others keep running.
Do you offer maintenance plans for commercial kitchens?
Yes. Regular flushing and inspection is the best way to prevent a mid-shift failure, especially with Sacramento-area hard water.
