For nearly 20 years, the State Water Heaters Ultra Force® (SUF) commercial water heater served an Arlington, Virginia apartment complex well. When it came time to replace the unit, the building owners turned back to State for a brand new SUF unit. The previous unit provided ample hot water for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry facilities and more to 28 units over the last 18 years, so it was an easy decision to stick with the State Ultra Force unit.

“This unit is warrantied for three years, so to see this unit last for close to 20 years is truly astonishing,” said Matt Baranuk, State commercial segment development leader. “The longevity of this unit is a testament to State’s legacy of lasting durability and the high quality of our water heating technology. We’re thrilled that the unit performed so well that they decided to do a like-for-like replacement. We’re confident that the new unit will meet their needs for many years to come.”

It is anticipated that by 2026, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will require all commercial water heating units to have condensing technology. Users can install the SUF commercial water heater knowing it will not only possess high-level performance thanks to cutting-edge features designed for optimal performance but also will meet local and national regulations as they continue to evolve.
