currently have 50 gal electric heater. we have two big commerical dish washers that service surgical instruments. our demand has increased and appears the 50 gal is not doing the job. Would a gas heater be more efficent and if so need cost. There is a gas line close to current heater from a gas heater in whse. so hook up should be no problem.

Commercial water heaters account for a large percentage of the energy needs of any facility. These needs may be a little lower in the case of office buildings or certain industries that don't require round the clock supply of hot water. But in the case of hotels, the percentage may be as high as 40% of the total energy bill. Therefore, it is essential that a commercial water heater have the highest degree of energy efficiency. These water heaters can be storage models or commercial tankless water heaters, electric or gas powered. There are also heat pump and tankless coil models, as well as hot water supply boilers that are only used to supply portable hot water to a facility, and do not meet space heating needs.
Commercial water heaters can be in the form of tankless water heaters, storage water heaters, indirect water heaters, heat pump and tankless coil models. They can also be in the form of hot water boilers that are used to supply hot water, but not for heating of spaces. A commercial water heating system needs a intricate distribution system that can deliver instant hot water to people all across the building at any given time. In case of buildings that have consistent water heating needs, commercial tankless water heaters are ideal, while structures with peak demands at a specified time may find commercial storage water heaters more energy efficient.
