Water Heater Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Installation

First, we assess your current setup and water usage needs. We measure the space, check your gas lines or electrical connections, and determine what size and type of water heater makes sense for your home or business.

Next, we give you upfront pricing for the complete job. No surprises, no hidden fees for “unexpected” work that any experienced plumber should anticipate. We handle the permits, disconnect your old unit safely, and dispose of it properly.

Then we install your new water heater according to local codes, test everything thoroughly, and walk you through the basic maintenance that keeps it running efficiently. You get hot water the same day, plus warranty coverage on both the unit and our installation work.

Residential Commercial Water Heater Service

What's Included In Every Installation

Every water heater installation includes proper sizing for your specific needs, whether you’re a family of two or running a busy restaurant. We handle both gas and electric units, traditional tanks, and tankless systems.

You get professional installation that meets Illinois plumbing codes, proper venting for gas units, and electrical connections that won’t trip your breaker. We test water pressure, check for leaks, and make sure your new system integrates properly with your existing plumbing.

We also provide emergency water heater repair when your current unit decides to quit at the worst possible time. Same-day service throughout Lombard means you’re not waiting days for hot water to return.

The setup is located in a utility room, illustrating a professional installation of residential heating and hot water systems.
Most residential water heater installations take 3-4 hours from start to finish. This includes disconnecting your old unit, installing the new one, testing all connections, and cleanup. Tankless installations may take longer due to additional venting or electrical work. Commercial installations vary based on system size and complexity. We’ll give you an accurate timeframe when we assess your specific situation, and we always aim to restore your hot water the same day.
If your water heater is over 8-10 years old and having frequent problems, replacement usually makes more financial sense than continued repairs. Signs pointing toward replacement include rusty water, strange noises, leaks around the base, or significantly higher energy bills. However, newer units with minor issues like a faulty thermostat or heating element are often worth repairing. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest recommendations based on the unit’s age, condition, and repair costs versus replacement benefits.
Water heater sizing depends on your household’s hot water usage, not just the number of people. A family of four typically needs a 40-50 gallon tank, but if you have multiple bathrooms, a large soaking tub, or high-efficiency appliances, you might need more capacity. Tankless units are sized differently based on flow rate and temperature rise. We calculate your actual hot water demand by considering your fixtures, usage patterns, and peak demand times to recommend the right size that won’t leave you running out of hot water.
Yes, we handle all permit requirements for water heater installations in Lombard and throughout DuPage County. Most installations require permits to ensure the work meets local building and safety codes. We’re familiar with Lombard’s specific requirements and inspection process. The permit cost is included in our upfront pricing, so you won’t see surprise fees. We also coordinate with local inspectors to ensure your installation passes inspection the first time, which protects you and maintains your home’s compliance with local codes.
Traditional tank water heaters store and continuously heat 30-80 gallons of water, providing immediate hot water but eventually running out during high demand. Tankless units heat water on-demand as it flows through, providing endless hot water but with slightly slower initial delivery. Tankless units cost more upfront but last longer and use less energy. Tank units cost less initially but take up more space and have higher operating costs. Your choice depends on your budget, space constraints, usage patterns, and long-term energy savings goals.
Yes, we provide emergency water heater repair and replacement service throughout Lombard and surrounding DuPage County areas.

We offer same-day service for most emergency situations and carry common replacement parts on our trucks. For complete failures requiring replacement, we stock popular residential water heater sizes to get you back up and running the same day when possible. Emergency service rates apply for after-hours calls.
