Complete Water Heater Solutions

Everything Included, Nothing Extra

Your water heater installation includes removal and disposal of the old unit, all necessary connections, and code-compliant installation. We bring permits, parts, and everything needed to complete the job.

You also get a full system test, warranty coverage, and a walkthrough of your new water heater’s operation. No surprise fees for “extras” that should have been included from the start.

Whether you need emergency water heater replacement or you’re planning an upgrade to a more efficient unit, we handle both residential and commercial installations throughout West Chicago. Gas, electric, tankless, or traditional – we install them all.

Most water heater installations in West Chicago take 2-4 hours, depending on your home’s setup and the type of unit you’re installing. If we’re replacing a standard tank with another standard tank in the same location, it’s usually on the shorter end. Tankless installations or situations requiring new gas lines or electrical work take longer. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate once we see your specific situation, and we always clean up completely before we leave.
Yes, we offer same-day water heater installation for most standard units when you call early in the day. We keep common sizes in stock specifically for West Chicago homes, so we don’t have to wait for deliveries. Emergency situations get priority scheduling. If same-day isn’t possible due to scheduling or if you need a specialty unit, we’ll get you scheduled as quickly as possible and can often provide temporary solutions to get you through until installation day.
Traditional tank water heaters are simpler to install and cost less upfront, but they take up more space and have higher operating costs. Tankless units require more complex installation, including upgraded gas lines or electrical service in many cases, but they save space and reduce energy bills long-term. In West Chicago’s older homes, we sometimes need to upgrade utilities before tankless installation is possible. We’ll assess your home’s setup and explain your options clearly, including any additional work needed for tankless installation.
Water heater installation costs in West Chicago depend on the type of unit, your home’s existing setup, and any additional work needed. Standard tank replacements typically cost less than tankless installations, which may require electrical or gas line upgrades. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. The estimate includes the unit, installation labor, permits, disposal of your old water heater, and our warranty. No hidden fees or surprise charges after the work is done.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits for water heater installation in West Chicago. Water heater replacement requires permits to ensure the work meets current safety codes, and we take care of the entire permit process for you. This includes filing the paperwork, scheduling inspections, and ensuring everything passes code requirements. The permit cost is included in your installation quote, and you don’t have to deal with any of the paperwork or scheduling. We make sure your installation is completely legal and up to code.
We provide a comprehensive warranty on our water heater installation work, separate from the manufacturer’s warranty on the unit itself. Our installation warranty covers all labor, connections, and installation-related issues. If something goes wrong with our work, we come back and fix it at no charge. The water heater manufacturer provides their own warranty on the unit, and we help you with any warranty claims if needed. We also provide ongoing service and maintenance if you need it down the road.
