When your water heater fails, everything stops. No hot showers before work. No clean dishes after dinner. No laundry getting done.
You need it fixed fast, and you need it done right the first time. That’s exactly what you get with our water heater installation and repair services in Des Plaines.
We handle everything from emergency repairs on older units to complete water heater replacement with energy-efficient models. Whether you’re dealing with a gas water heater that won’t stay lit or an electric unit that’s barely producing lukewarm water, we’ll diagnose the problem quickly and give you straight answers about repair versus replacement costs.
Most installations are completed the same day. You’ll have hot water flowing again before dinner, and you’ll know exactly what you’re paying upfront – no surprise charges when the job is done.
FloTek Plumbing has been handling water heater installation and repair throughout Des Plaines for years. We understand the unique challenges of this area – from older homes with original plumbing to the specific building codes that govern water heater installation in Cook County.
Our technicians are licensed, insured, and trained on both gas and electric water heater systems. We pull proper permits for all installation work and handle the disposal of your old unit.
You’re not getting a fly-by-night operation or someone learning on your property. You’re getting experienced professionals who’ve solved these exact problems hundreds of times before.
First, we assess your current situation. Is this a repair job or does the unit need replacement? We’ll check the age, condition, and efficiency of your existing water heater and give you honest recommendations.
If you need a new water heater, we’ll discuss your options – traditional tank units versus tankless systems, gas versus electric, and sizing based on your household’s hot water usage. We provide upfront pricing for both the equipment and installation.
Once you approve the work, we handle everything. We’ll shut off utilities safely, remove your old water heater, install the new unit according to local codes, and test everything thoroughly before we leave. Most residential installations are completed in 3-4 hours.
We clean up completely and dispose of your old water heater properly. You’ll have hot water flowing again the same day, plus documentation of all work performed and warranty information for your new equipment.

Our water heater services cover every situation you might face. Emergency repairs when your unit fails completely. Routine maintenance to extend the life of newer systems. Complete replacement when repair costs don’t make financial sense.
We work with all major brands and can install traditional tank water heaters, high-efficiency tankless units, or hybrid heat pump systems. For Des Plaines homes, we often recommend units sized appropriately for Chicago’s climate and the hard water conditions common in this area.
Every installation includes proper venting (for gas units), electrical connections up to code, and water line connections that won’t leak. We test temperature and pressure relief valves, check for proper drainage, and ensure your new system operates safely and efficiently.
Commercial properties get the same thorough approach, whether you need a single residential-style unit or multiple commercial-grade water heaters for apartment buildings or business facilities.
