In nursing homes, assisted living communities, and skilled nursing facilities, immediate hot water isn’t just a convenience—it’s a critical component of resident care, sanitation, and regulatory compliance. MB HAYNES Plumbing understands this better than anyone. That’s why we’ve developed a one-of-a-kind emergency hot water solution specifically designed to restore domestic hot water to healthcare and residential facilities—in as little as 30 minutes.

Proudly serving Western North Carolina for over a century, MB HAYNES offers unmatched experience, innovation, and response time. From emergency water heaters to full-scale water heater 24 hour service, we keep your facility running safely and compliantly—even in a crisis.


Why Immediate Hot Water Matters in Healthcare Settings

  1. Resident Comfort & Hygiene: Hot water supports daily bathing and personal care routines that promote dignity, improve circulation, and enhance overall well-being for elderly residents.
  2. Sanitation & Infection Control: Critical for laundering linens, cleaning equipment, and disinfecting surfaces, hot water helps limit the spread of pathogens.
  3. Safety: Proper temperature regulation prevents scald injuries in vulnerable populations while ensuring that water stays hot enough to prevent bacterial growth, like Legionella.
  4. Regulatory Compliance: Facilities must meet CMS, state, and ASHRAE 188 standards, including maintaining appropriate water temperatures and implementing comprehensive water safety management plans.

The Water Safety Challenges Facing Long-Term Care Facilities

With over 28,000 long-term care and assisted living facilities in the U.S., many of which house frail or immunocompromised individuals, maintaining hot water isn’t optional—it’s urgent. Building managers face major challenges such as:

  • Aging infrastructure
  • Contaminated or unreliable water sources
  • Opportunistic pathogens like Legionella
  • Regulatory requirements from CMS and ASHRAE 188

Hot water outages threaten not only resident health but also a facility’s operational status, Medicare/Medicaid eligibility, and reputation.


The MB HAYNES Emergency Water Heater Advantage

When hot water goes down, the last thing your team needs is to wait hours—or days—for a fix. That’s why MB HAYNES developed a custom-engineered mobile mechanical room designed to deliver emergency water heater service immediately.

Here’s how it works:

  • Our mobile unit is deployed directly to your facility.
  • It seamlessly connects to your building’s cold line, 120° hot line, recirculating line, or high-temp kitchen/laundry lines.
  • The unit begins delivering up to 28 gallons per minute of hot water—initially at 160°F and modulated down to safe delivery temps like 120°F or 105°F.
  • It can operate indefinitely using onboard LP gas or your facility’s supply.

This is not a temporary patch—it’s full-service emergency hot water heater service, giving your facility immediate water heater access while permanent repairs are made.

By restoring hot water quickly and reliably, MB HAYNES helps ensure your facility remains compliant with:
