Four generations of Burkes, plumbing the Yakima Valley since 1981.

Inside a Burke mechanical room

Four commercial heaters, one bank, every line accounted for.

A commercial water heater room from the Burke job file. Hover or tap a pin to see what each part of the room is doing, the way our plumbers read it when they walk in.

1. VentExhaust and intake runsEach heater breathes through its own white PVC exhaust and fresh-air pipe, run up and over to the wall so the room stays sealed.
2. GasGas supply to every burnerA dedicated connector and shutoff per tank, so one heater can be serviced while the other three keep the building in hot water.
3. ControlElectronic controls at eye levelSet points and fault codes read at a glance, which is how a night call gets diagnosed in minutes instead of guessed at.
4. TankFour commercial storage heatersA bank instead of one giant tank: the load is shared, and losing a unit costs capacity, not the whole morning rush.
5. DrainCondensate and relief lines down to drainRelief and condensate piping carried to the floor, never left to drip on the slab or the next guy's shoes.
6. HeaderCopper headers along the curbSupply and return run as headers on the housekeeping pad, tying four tanks into one system with room to work around them.
