Water Heater Replacement in Mokena, IL
If your water heater is leaking from the tank or it's been running since the house was built, it's time for a new one. We size it to your household, install it to code and haul the old one away. From our office on Jodi Road.
When to Replace Your Water Heater
It's usually time when:
The Tank Is Leaking
Water from the tank itself means the lining has failed.
It's 10 to 12 Years Old or More
Check the date on the label.
Repairs Keep Adding Up
A second or third repair on an old tank is rarely worth it.
The Family Outgrew It
A tank sized for the house when it was new may not keep up today.
How We Install Your New Water Heater
A clean swap from start to finish:
1. Size It Right
Based on bathrooms, people and how you use hot water.
2. Install to Code
New connections, relief valve, venting and an expansion tank where needed.
3. Test and Haul Away
Checked for leaks and proper venting, and the old tank goes with us.
Water Heater Installs in Mokena Homes
More than half of Mokena's homes were built between 1990 and 2009, so a lot of original heaters are being replaced right now.
Power-Vent Replacements
If your home has a power-vent heater, we match the venting or explain your options.
Bigger Families, Bigger Tanks
A 40-gallon tank from the builder may be too small for a household with teenagers. We'll size it to how you use water.
Considering Tankless?
Many homeowners here ask about it. See tankless water heaters for what's involved.
Utility Rooms Inside Finished Basements
When the heater sits in a small room, we check that there's enough air for combustion and room to service the new unit.
