When the water heater fails and the replacement is days away, or a renovation takes the mechanical room offline, Progressive delivers and connects a temporary hot water unit we own, so your building keeps operating.
Hot water while the permanent fix happens
A restaurant without hot water closes. A hotel without hot water refunds rooms. A clinic without hot water fails inspection. Progressive keeps a fleet of temporary commercial water heaters ready for exactly these situations. We deliver the unit, connect it to your water, fuel and power, verify temperature at the fixtures, and take it away when the permanent system is running.
When customers call for a temporary unit
- A failed heater or boiler with a replacement on order.
- Mechanical room renovations, re-piping or pipe lining projects that take the system offline.
- New construction and tenant fit-outs that need hot water before the permanent equipment is in.
- Seasonal or event loads that exceed the installed capacity.
How it works
- Call. Tell us the building, the load and where the unit can sit.
- Delivery and connection. Our plumbers place the unit, make the water, gas or electrical connections, and bring the system up to temperature.
- Permanent repair or replacement. We handle that too, usually in parallel, and remove the rental when it is done.
Frequently asked questions
Are the temporary units Progressive's own equipment?
Yes. They are Progressive-owned units maintained by our plumbers, delivered and connected by the same crew that handles your permanent system.
How quickly can a temporary water heater be on site?
We answer 24/7. Ask about current availability when you call; in an emergency we prioritize buildings that cannot operate without hot water.
Do I need to rent from you to have you do the replacement?
No. The rental is a bridge; you can use it with any permanent solution, although most customers have us do both so there is one point of contact.
Call (877) 325-0180 or request a proposal. Commercial plumbing crews are on call 24/7 across Raleigh, Durham and the Triangle.

I called Progressive because of storm/tree damage, which took out both my power and caused my water main to burst. Progressive could do both. From my initial call to the arrival of the electrician and plumber, I couldn’t have been more pleased. … I would use them again and highly recommend them for your ‘mechanical’ needs.

We really appreciate the extra time, phone calls to the supplier, and careful reading of the instructions to do the job right. Gilbert expressed his philosophy as ‘doing the job the way he would want it done in his own home.’ Once again, we are most pleased with the professional and courteous service your company provides.
