Water Heater Replacement Options

What's Included In Installation

Every water heater installation includes complete removal of your old unit, proper disposal, and professional installation of the new system. All gas, electric, and water connections are handled according to local codes.

You’ll get options for traditional tank water heaters or tankless systems, depending on your home’s setup and hot water needs. Gas and electric models are both available. Our technician explains the differences so you can make the right choice for your situation.

Permit handling is included when required. All work gets inspected to ensure it meets Lake In The Hills building standards. You’re not left figuring out paperwork or dealing with code compliance issues.

The installation includes testing all connections, checking for proper operation, and making sure your new water heater is ready for years of reliable service.

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 water heater installations take 2-4 hours, depending on your home’s setup and whether any modifications are needed. If you’re replacing a similar unit in the same location with existing connections, it’s usually on the shorter end. If gas lines need adjusting or electrical work is required, it takes longer. Our technician will give you a realistic timeframe once they see your specific situation. Emergency installations can often be completed the same day you call.
If your water heater is over 8-10 years old and having problems, replacement usually makes more sense than repair. Older units tend to develop multiple issues, and repair costs add up quickly. If you’re dealing with rusty water, inconsistent temperatures, or visible leaking, replacement is typically the better investment. For newer units with minor issues, repair might be worth it. Our technician will assess your specific situation and give you honest recommendations based on the unit’s condition and repair costs versus replacement.
Yes, FloTek handles all permit requirements for water heater installations in Lake In The Hills. Most water heater replacements require permits, especially if any gas or electrical connections are involved. The permit ensures the work meets local building codes and passes inspection. This protects you as the homeowner and ensures the installation is done safely. Permit costs are included in the upfront pricing, so there are no surprise fees. We coordinate the inspection process as part of the installation service.
Traditional tank water heaters store 30-80 gallons of hot water and reheat it as needed. They’re less expensive upfront but use more energy keeping water hot all the time. Tankless water heaters heat water on demand, so they’re more energy-efficient and never run out of hot water. However, they cost more initially and may require electrical or gas line upgrades. The best choice depends on your home’s setup, hot water usage, and budget. Our technician can evaluate your situation and explain which option works best for your specific needs.
Water heater installation costs vary based on the type of unit, your home’s existing connections, and any modifications needed. Traditional tank water heaters generally cost less than tankless systems. Gas and electric models have different installation requirements that affect pricing. FloTek provides upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation, so you know exactly what you’ll pay before work begins. The quote includes the unit, installation labor, permits, and cleanup. No hourly rates or surprise charges.
Yes, FloTek offers emergency water heater service for Lake In The Hills residents. If your water heater fails completely or starts leaking, same-day service is often available. Emergency situations get priority scheduling because a failed water heater can cause water damage and disrupt your entire household. The emergency service includes diagnosis, immediate repairs if possible, or fast replacement if the unit can’t be salvaged. Emergency calls may have different pricing than scheduled service, but you’ll know the costs upfront before any work begins.
