Complete Water Heater Solutions

Everything Included in Your Installation

Your water heater installation includes removal and disposal of your old unit, all necessary permits and inspections, and professional installation of your new system. We handle any required upgrades to gas lines, electrical connections, or venting to meet current safety codes.

Crystal Lake’s hard water can be tough on water heaters, so the installation includes recommendations for extending your system’s life. You’ll also receive guidance on the right temperature settings for efficiency and safety.

Each installation comes with comprehensive warranty coverage on both parts and labor. We provide clear maintenance schedules and are available for any questions after the installation is complete.

A modern home boiler system with a digital display reading 55°C is installed next to a large cylindrical hot water tank. The units are connected by metal pipes and yellow gas lines. The setup is located in a utility room, illustrating a professional installation of residential heating and hot water systems.
Most standard water heater installations take 2-4 hours to complete. The timeframe depends on your specific setup and whether any upgrades are needed to meet current codes. If you’re switching from electric to gas or vice versa, or if your home needs venting modifications, the installation may take longer. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate after assessing your current system. Emergency installations can often be completed the same day you call.
If your water heater is over 8-10 years old and having frequent issues, replacement usually makes more financial sense than ongoing repairs. Signs that point toward replacement include inconsistent hot water, strange noises, visible rust or corrosion, and rising energy bills. Newer models are significantly more energy-efficient, which means lower monthly costs. We can assess your current unit and help you understand the real costs of repair versus replacement based on your specific situation.
Water heater sizing depends on your household size and hot water usage patterns. A typical family of four needs a 40-50 gallon tank or a tankless unit rated for 7-8 gallons per minute. However, Crystal Lake’s cold groundwater temperatures mean you might need a larger capacity than homes in warmer climates. We evaluate your current usage, number of bathrooms, and appliances that use hot water to recommend the right size for consistent performance.
Yes, FloTek Plumbing installs both gas and electric water heaters, as well as tankless systems. We’re licensed to work with gas lines and electrical connections, so we can handle any type of installation your Crystal Lake home requires. If you’re considering switching from one type to another, we can assess whether your home’s current infrastructure supports the change and what modifications might be needed.
Water heater installations in Crystal Lake typically require permits to ensure the work meets local safety codes. FloTek Plumbing handles all permit applications and scheduling of required inspections as part of our installation service. This protects you and ensures your installation meets all local requirements. We’re familiar with Crystal Lake’s specific codes and inspection processes, which helps avoid delays and ensures everything is done correctly the first time.
Water heater installation costs vary based on the type of unit, your home’s current setup, and any necessary upgrades to meet codes. Standard tank installations typically range from $1,200-$2,500 including the unit and labor. Tankless installations are generally higher due to additional venting and gas line requirements. FloTek Plumbing provides upfront pricing with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you’ll pay before work begins. Financing options are available to help with larger installations.
