Our Approach: Repair, Replace & Maintain

Businesses often contact us when the water won’t stay hot, or worse, won’t heat at all. That’s where LOVETT steps in. We assess your existing equipment, identify system inefficiencies or damage, and walk you through practical options. Whether your system runs on gas, electric, or solar, we service all major brands and models common to commercial buildings.

Reliable Repairs Backed by Diagnostic Accuracy

No guesswork. We use advanced tools and deep system knowledge to pinpoint root causes of common failures, including:

Faulty thermostats or heating elements
Sediment buildup inside the tank
Pressure relief valve leaks
Circulation pump failure (common in hydronic systems)

Our plumbers arrive equipped for most standard repairs and carry commercial-grade parts for quicker resolutions.

Upgrades & Replacements That Fit Your Demand

If your system is aging out or no longer efficient enough to meet your usage, we help you plan a long-term solution that fits your building's infrastructure and hot water needs. We install:

Commercial tank-style water heaters (high-volume capacity)
Tankless water heaters (ideal for energy savings and smaller footprints)
Hybrid models with smart control systems
High-efficiency condensing units

Our team will evaluate your available space, flow rate demands, and budget to recommend the right system. We also handle all permits and code compliance for upgrades within Portland and surrounding jurisdictions.

Water Heating Solutions for Every Industry

LOVETT tailors water heater solutions to fit the nature of your business. Commercial needs differ based on how and when hot water is used. That’s why we approach every call with a custom plan, not just a standard install.

Multifamily Properties: Hot water consistency is critical in apartments and condominiums. We assist HOAs and property managers with central water heating system retrofits, zoned solutions, and rapid-response repairs.
Food Service and Hospitality: Restaurants, hotels, and commercial kitchens need consistent and high-temperature water for sanitization and equipment operation. We provide compliant systems that help maintain health standards and avoid shutdowns.
Healthcare Facilities: Medical clinics and care centers face stringent sanitation and infection control requirements. Our plumbing team follows best practices that align with CDC water management guidance for healthcare buildings.

Flat-Rate Pricing for Reliable Service

Lovett came out and knocked their work out of the park. Not an easy task, 36” x 12’ deep hole through solid rock, but they made it look easy! The driver/operator, Pat, was extremely professional and had our big-name client confident in his work

Lovett repaired a private fire hydrant for us and brought it up to fire code. This is a very professional company with outstanding employees. Their inspection, bid, scheduling, and job completion were great.
