Commercial kitchens in places like restaurants, bars, and hotels require domestic hot water systems that work quickly and efficiently because business depends on it. In fast-paced environments where hygiene is of the utmost importance, a steady supply of hot water helps keep your kitchen and your dishes sanitary as you carry on with your busy day.
A hot water booster is a small device installed directly on your waterline that provides additional hot water when your tank runs out. They are compatible with both electric and gas tanks, and they activate when they sense that your water temperature has dropped below a set temperature, providing you with an additional supply of hot water. Hot water is essential to kitchen cleanliness and food safety standards for several reasons:
Commercial kitchens are known to be chaotic, with rushes during breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so continuously cleaning dishes and silverware can easily become a challenge. While some kitchens hire people to wash dishes by hand, this isn’t necessarily the most cost-effective option and it’s much more efficient to use a dishwasher. Plus, when you use a dishwasher you can set the water to the exact temperature you require. The FDA Food Code offers guidance on the ideal temperature at which to sanitize your dishes, and with a hot water booster you know you’ll have an adequate supply of hot water at all times, especially when things get busy. Efficient domestic hot water systems Installing a hot water booster is a straightforward process – they are small, they don’t take up a lot of space, and they can usually be installed alongside your existing hot water heaters. Most modern commercial kitchens have plenty of space to accommodate hot water boosters, and an experienced engineer can survey your plumbing system and check that it’s fit for installation. Before the hot water booster is installed, there are several features to be aware of: a temperature setting that allows you to choose the water temperature at which the hot water booster turns on, a low water signal that prevents the system from overheating when water levels get too low, a large enough capacity to meet the everyday demands of your commercial kitchen, and the pressure requirements of your dishwashers. Hot water boosters come in both electric and gas form, and a certified engineer will need to assess your plumbing system to determine which one is most compatible with your kitchen. Both systems deliver hot water to your kitchen on demand, and both systems ensure your dishes are sanitized at the proper temperature.

Energy recovery ventilation (ERV) is one of the most energy efficient systems you can use with your HVAC control systems, especially in commercial buildings. When using a traditional HVAC control system, a large amount of the hot and cool air delivered to indoor spaces actually ends up outside via the air exhaust, the trash exhaust, and the bathroom vents, resulting in a lot of wasted air. ERVs, which continue to grow in popularity, recover some of the energy from the airstream delivered outdoors. ERVs connect to the ducts that are part of your existing HVAC systems, so they’re easy to install and don’t require much additional equipment. They also reduce the strain on your heating and cooling systems, and during the hot summer months ERVs can dehumidify and pre-cool your air supply before it enters your indoor space. Conversely, during the cold winter months, ERVs pre-heat the air by extracting heat from the warmer exhaust air before it’s expelled outside. One thing many people don’t consider is the indoor air quality within their space. You spend the vast majority of your time indoors, so you may be surprised to know that according to the EPA, indoor air often contains two to five times more pollutants than outdoor air. Many of us assume that indoor air is cleaner than outdoor air due to air filtration systems, but contaminants easily slip through many air filters. ERVs remove contaminants, pollen, allergens, and pollutants from your air, ensuring your air supply is as clean and healthy as possible, and for commercial spaces this is essential. Benefits of using ERV with an HVAC control system As mentioned, ERVs may not be very widely-known yet, but they are continuing to grow in popularity as people discover their many benefits. Some of the key benefits include:
In addition to all the benefits listed above, ERVs help keep your space cleaner because they reduce the build-up of dust and other contaminants. Maintaining a clean environment in commercial spaces is crucial, and when you have an ERV system you’ll notice that your space doesn’t get dusty as quickly as it used to, so you won’t have to dust and wipe down surfaces as frequently as before.
