Complete Water Heater Installation Service

Everything Included, Nothing Extra

Your water heater installation includes removal and disposal of the old unit, professional installation of the new system, and all necessary connections and safety features. We handle the permit process and ensure everything meets Glen Ellyn’s building codes.

We work with both tank and tankless systems, gas and electric models. Whether you’re replacing a traditional 40-gallon tank or upgrading to a high-efficiency tankless unit, we have the experience to handle the installation properly.

Every installation comes with our workmanship guarantee and manufacturer warranty protection. We also provide clear instructions on operation and maintenance so you can protect your investment for years to come.

Most water heater installations in Glen Ellyn take 2-4 hours, depending on the complexity of your setup. A straightforward tank-to-tank replacement in an accessible location typically takes about 2 hours. Tankless installations or situations requiring plumbing modifications may take 3-4 hours. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we assess your specific situation, and we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
The choice depends on your hot water usage patterns and budget. Tank systems cost less upfront and work well for most Glen Ellyn families with predictable usage. Tankless units cost more initially but provide unlimited hot water and take up less space—great for smaller homes or high-demand households. We’ll assess your current usage, available space, and utility setup to recommend the best option for your specific situation and budget.
Yes, Glen Ellyn requires permits for water heater installations, and we handle this process for you. The permit ensures your installation meets local building codes and safety requirements. This isn’t just bureaucracy—proper permitting protects you if you ever sell your home or need to file an insurance claim. We’re familiar with Glen Ellyn’s requirements and will pull the necessary permits and schedule inspections as part of your installation service.
Sizing depends on your household’s hot water demand, not just the number of people. A family of four with high usage might need a 50-gallon tank, while a couple with efficient fixtures might do fine with 40 gallons. We calculate your needs based on your home’s fixtures, usage patterns, and peak demand periods. Proper sizing ensures you have enough hot water without wasting energy on an oversized system that costs more to operate.
Installation costs vary based on the type of system, complexity of the installation, and any necessary modifications to existing plumbing or electrical connections. Basic tank replacements typically cost less than tankless installations or situations requiring significant plumbing changes. We provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation, so you know exactly what to expect before we start work. No surprise charges or hidden fees.
Your new water heater comes with manufacturer warranty coverage, and our installation work is guaranteed. If you experience any issues related to the installation, we’ll return to address them at no additional cost. Most problems are covered under manufacturer warranties, but we’ll help you navigate the warranty process if needed. We stand behind our work and want you to have reliable hot water for years to come.
