A booster heater for a commercial dishwasher raises incoming hot water to the roughly 180°F (82°C) final rinse temperature that high-temperature dish machines need to sanitize. Babak Food Equipment offers Hobart booster heaters for restaurants, hotels, cafeterias and institutional dish rooms across Vancouver and British Columbia. Ask our team about options to match your machine.

What to look for in a dishwasher booster heater

• Temperature rise: boosters are rated for a rise such as about 40°F or 70°F (22°C or 39°C); choose based on the temperature of your incoming hot water.
• Machine compatibility: match the booster’s output to the dishwasher’s rinse flow – some machines have a built-in booster.
• Power: most commercial boosters are electric and need 208–240 V or three-phase power on a dedicated circuit.
• Space: external boosters often sit under the dish table or next to the machine; check the space and plumbing route.

Frequently asked questions

Do all commercial dishwashers need a booster heater?

No. Only high-temperature machines need one, and many include it. Low-temperature machines sanitize with chemicals and don’t require a booster.

Can a building water heater replace a booster heater?

Usually not. Building water heaters typically supply about 140°F (60°C), while high-temp dishwashers need about 180°F (82°C) for the final rinse.
