ASHEVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — When hot water fails, the consequences are immediate and serious, especially in environments where comfort, safety and compliance are non-negotiable. In nursing homes, hospitals, apartment complexes and hotels, hot water isn’t just a convenience, it’s a critical service.

That’s why MB HAYNES, the region’s most trusted name in mechanical and plumbing services for over a century, developed a groundbreaking emergency hot water solution that restores service in as little as 30 minutes.

With our custom-engineered mobile mechanical room, MB HAYNES brings fast, reliable hot water to facilities in crisis, keeping residents safe, guests satisfied and operations running smoothly.

Why immediate hot water matters

Whether you’re caring for the elderly or accommodating travelers, hot water plays a vital role in:

  • Resident comfort and hygiene: Daily routines like bathing and handwashing depend on hot water to support dignity and well-being, especially for seniors.
  • Sanitation and infection control: From disinfecting linens to cleaning kitchens and medical equipment, hot water helps prevent the spread of dangerous pathogens.
  • Safety: Correct water temperatures reduce the risk of scalding injuries and inhibit bacterial growth like Legionella.
  • Regulatory compliance: Long-term care facilities and commercial properties must meet standards set by CMS, ASHRAE 188 and other regulatory bodies to avoid fines and violations.
The MB HAYNES system prevents Legionella (which thrives between 77°F and 113°F) by producing high-temperature water and safely tempering it before delivery.

The growing challenge of hot water outages

Across the U.S., there are over 28,000 long-term care facilities and thousands of hospitality and multi-family properties that rely heavily on uninterrupted hot water. These facilities face serious challenges, including:

  • Aging infrastructure
  • Regulatory pressure
  • Opportunistic pathogens (e.g., Legionella)
  • Increased occupant expectations
  • Delays in conventional water heater repair or replacement

An unexpected outage can lead to patient endangerment, negative guest reviews, lost revenue and even shutdowns.

The MB HAYNES emergency hot water advantage

When time is critical, you need more than a plumber. You need a rapid deployment team with a turnkey solution.

That’s exactly what MB HAYNES delivers with our mobile hot water trailer, a self-contained, high-capacity mechanical room engineered to restore hot water on the spot.

Here’s how it works:

  • Deployed 24/7 directly to your site
  • Connects seamlessly to your building:
    • Cold water line
    • 120°F hot water line
    • Recirculating loop
    • High-temp 140°F kitchen/laundry lines
  • Produces up to 28 gallons per minute of hot water
  • Initial output up to 160°F, safely tempered to 120°F or lower using thermostatic mixing valves
  • Operates using onboard propane or your facility’s gas supply

This isn’t a temporary patch. It’s a full-service emergency hot water solution that can run as long as needed, supporting your facility until permanent repairs are completed.

In nursing homes, hospitals, apartment complexes and hotels, hot water isn’t just a convenience, it’s a critical service.
