Water Heater Installation Process

Simple Installation, Done Right

We start with an assessment of your current setup and your household’s hot water needs. This determines the right size and type of water heater for your home, whether that’s a traditional tank, tankless unit, or high-efficiency model.

Next, we handle all permits and ensure your installation meets North Aurora building codes. We remove your old unit safely, install the new water heater with proper connections, and test everything thoroughly before we leave.

You’ll get a walkthrough of your new system, including any maintenance tips and warranty information. We clean up completely and haul away your old water heater. Most installations are completed in a few hours, getting your hot water back online quickly.

Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't

Your water heater installation includes proper sizing for your home’s demand, professional installation with all necessary connections, and permit handling for North Aurora requirements. We work with gas, electric, tankless, and traditional tank systems.

Emergency water heater service is available when your system fails unexpectedly. We stock common replacement parts and can often complete same-day installations when you need hot water restored immediately.

We also handle water heater repair for units that aren’t ready for replacement yet. Sometimes a thermostat, heating element, or gas valve replacement can extend your current system’s life while you plan for an eventual upgrade.

Most water heater installations in North Aurora take 3-5 hours from start to finish. This includes removing your old unit, installing the new water heater, connecting all gas or electrical lines, and testing the system. Tankless installations may take longer due to additional venting or electrical requirements. We handle all permit requirements for North Aurora, which doesn’t add time to your installation day since we pull permits in advance. Complex installations involving new gas lines or electrical upgrades will take additional time, but we’ll give you an accurate timeline upfront.
Water heater sizing depends on your household size and usage patterns, not just the number of people. A family of four typically needs a 40-50 gallon tank or a tankless unit rated for 7-8 GPM. However, if you have multiple bathrooms, a large soaking tub, or high-demand appliances, you might need a larger capacity. We assess your current usage, peak demand times, and future needs during our consultation. North Aurora’s hard water conditions also factor into sizing recommendations since mineral buildup can reduce efficiency over time.
Tankless water heaters work well for North Aurora homes with moderate hot water usage and available space for proper venting. They provide endless hot water and save energy, but have higher upfront costs and may require electrical or gas line upgrades. Traditional tank water heaters cost less initially and work better for high-demand households or homes with limited venting options. Your home’s existing infrastructure, usage patterns, and budget determine the best choice. We’ll evaluate your specific situation and explain the pros and cons of each option without pushing you toward the more expensive choice.
Yes, we handle all permit requirements for water heater installations in North Aurora. Kane County and North Aurora have specific codes for water heater installations, especially regarding venting, gas connections, and electrical work. We pull permits before your installation and ensure all work meets local building codes. This protects you during home sales or insurance claims since you’ll have proper documentation of code-compliant work. DIY installations or unlicensed work often fail inspection and create problems later. Our permit handling is included in your installation cost with no additional fees.
Our water heater installation includes a warranty on our labor and workmanship, separate from the manufacturer’s warranty on the unit itself. We guarantee our installation work against leaks, connection problems, or other installation-related issues. The water heater manufacturer provides warranty coverage on the tank, heating elements, and other components. We help coordinate any warranty claims and handle warranty service calls. If something goes wrong with our installation work, we return to fix it at no charge. This gives you protection on both the equipment and the installation quality.
We regularly install water heaters in North Aurora basements, utility closets, and other challenging spaces. Many homes in this area have older basements with low ceilings or tight access, which requires careful planning and sometimes specialized equipment. We measure access routes before installation day to avoid surprises. In some cases, we recommend relocating the water heater to a more accessible location for easier future service. Proper venting and clearance requirements still apply in tight spaces, and we ensure your installation meets all safety codes regardless of the location challenges.
