Water Heater Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your current water heater situation and your home’s specific requirements. We measure space, check gas lines or electrical connections, and determine the right size and type for your household’s hot water demands.

Next, we provide upfront pricing for the complete job – removal of your old unit, installation of the new system, and any necessary upgrades to meet current codes. No surprises, no hidden fees, no pressure tactics.

Then we handle the installation efficiently and cleanly. We remove your old water heater, install the new system, test everything thoroughly, and walk you through the warranty and maintenance basics. Your hot water is restored the same day, and we clean up completely before we leave.

Complete Water Heater Services

Everything You Need Covered

Our water heater installation service includes removal and disposal of your old unit, professional installation of your new system, and all necessary permits and inspections. We handle both traditional tank water heaters and tankless systems, working with gas and electric models from all major manufacturers.

We also provide emergency water heater repair when your system fails unexpectedly. Arlington Heights winters are hard on water heating equipment, and we understand that hot water emergencies don’t wait for convenient business hours.

Whether you’re dealing with a complete system failure, upgrading to a more efficient model, or need commercial water heater service for your business, we have the expertise and equipment to handle the job properly the first time.

Most standard water heater installations take 3-4 hours from start to finish. This includes removing your old unit, installing the new system, and testing everything thoroughly. If we need to upgrade gas lines, electrical connections, or venting to meet current codes, the job might take longer. We always give you a realistic timeframe upfront based on your specific situation. Complex installations involving tankless systems or significant plumbing modifications can take a full day, but we’ll explain exactly what’s involved before we start.
Water heater installation costs depend on the type of system, your home’s existing setup, and any code upgrades needed. Standard tank water heater installations typically range from $1,200 to $2,500 including the unit and labor. Tankless systems cost more upfront but offer long-term energy savings. We provide transparent, upfront pricing that includes removal of your old unit, installation, permits, and cleanup. No hidden fees or surprise charges. The investment covers professional installation that meets all local codes and comes with comprehensive warranty protection.
Yes, we provide emergency water heater repair service for Arlington Heights residents. We understand that losing hot water isn’t something you can plan around, especially during winter months. Our emergency service covers complete system failures, dangerous gas leaks, and flooding from failed water heaters. We respond quickly to assess whether your system can be repaired or needs immediate replacement. Emergency calls are prioritized, and we carry common repair parts to fix many issues on the spot. When repair isn’t possible, we can often install a replacement system the same day.
The right choice depends on your household’s hot water usage, available space, and long-term plans. Traditional tank water heaters cost less upfront and work well for most Arlington Heights homes. They’re reliable, easy to service, and provide consistent hot water for typical family needs. Tankless systems cost more initially but take up less space, last longer, and can reduce energy bills by 20-30%. They’re ideal if you have high hot water demand or limited space. We’ll assess your specific situation and explain the pros and cons of each option without pushing you toward the more expensive choice.
Several signs indicate your water heater is failing and needs replacement rather than repair. Age is the biggest factor – most tank systems last 8-12 years, while tankless units can last 15-20 years. Rusty or discolored hot water, strange noises, water pooling around the unit, and inconsistent water temperature all signal serious problems. If you’re calling for repairs frequently, replacement usually makes more financial sense. We’ll honestly assess whether your system can be repaired cost-effectively or if replacement is the smarter investment for your Arlington Heights home.
Yes, we provide both residential and commercial water heater installation and repair services throughout Arlington Heights. Commercial systems require different expertise due to higher capacity demands, different code requirements, and more complex installations. We work with restaurants, office buildings, retail spaces, and multi-unit properties that need reliable hot water for daily operations. Commercial water heater failures can shut down business operations, so we prioritize these emergency calls. Our technicians are experienced with commercial-grade equipment and understand the importance of minimizing downtime for Arlington Heights businesses.
