The Right Water Heater
for Every Application

Commercial domestic hot water demands are as varied as the facilities they serve — a 300-room hotel has different requirements than a hospital surgical suite or a university dormitory. Patterson-Kelley offers the broadest water heater product line in commercial heating, with models purpose-built for every DHW application.

From the flagship SOLIS W-Series condensing firetube to the EvoHP electric heat pump, P-K water heaters feature premium stainless steel or copper construction, NURO smart controls with remote monitoring, and compact footprints designed to fit through standard doorways and into tight mechanical rooms.

As a factory-authorized dealer, ICA provides complete DHW system engineering — from peak demand analysis and equipment sizing through installation, startup, and decades of preventive maintenance.

Direct-Fired Options
Independent operation with their own burner — condensing models deliver up to 99% efficiency, non-condensing for high-temp and hard-water applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About
Commercial Water Heaters

What's the difference between direct-fired and indirect-fired commercial water heaters?
Direct-fired water heaters have their own burner and heat the water directly — they operate independently. Indirect-fired water heaters use hot water from a boiler (via a heat exchanger) to heat the domestic water — they require a boiler as the heat source. Direct-fired units are simpler to install but add another piece of combustion equipment. Indirect units leverage your existing boiler plant for higher overall system efficiency.
When should I consider a heat pump water heater like the P-K EvoHP?
The EvoHP is ideal for facilities pursuing decarbonization, buildings subject to all-electric codes, LEED certification projects, or any application where eliminating on-site combustion is a priority. Heat pump water heaters extract heat from ambient air, achieving significantly higher efficiency than resistance electric heaters. They work best in spaces with adequate ambient temperature and ventilation.
What Patterson-Kelley water heater is best for a hotel or high-demand DHW application?
For hotels and high-peak-demand facilities, the P-K SOLIS W-Series (direct-fired condensing) or the HiDRA (instantaneous condensing) are typically the top choices. The SOLIS W provides premium stainless steel construction with storage, while the HiDRA delivers unlimited hot water on demand without storage tank losses. ICA's engineers can model your peak demand profile to recommend the optimal configuration.
How does the MACH 'n' ROLL simplify installation?
The MACH 'n' ROLL combines a gas-fired condensing boiler and storage tank on a single factory-assembled skid. This eliminates the need to field-pipe separate boiler and tank components, reduces installation labor, minimizes potential leak points, and ensures the boiler and tank are properly matched. It's especially popular for replacement projects where minimizing downtime is critical.
Does ICA service all Patterson-Kelley water heater models?
Yes. As a factory-authorized dealer, ICA provides warranty service, preventive maintenance, emergency repair, and replacement parts for every current and legacy Patterson-Kelley water heater model. Our technicians are factory-trained and carry common P-K parts on every service truck for fast resolution.
Can ICA help with water heater replacement in an existing building?
Absolutely. ICA specializes in retrofit and replacement projects. Our engineers evaluate your existing mechanical room, piping configuration, capacity requirements, and available utilities to recommend the right P-K replacement. We handle equipment selection, engineering, delivery coordination, and factory-authorized startup — minimizing downtime during the transition.
