Water Heater Installation in Tinley Park, IL
When your water heater is done, the new one should be sized for the family living in the house today. We help you pick the right one, install it to code and give you a flat price first. From our office on 185th Street in Tinley Park.
When It's Time to Replace Your Water Heater
Repairs stop making sense when:
The Tank Is Leaking
A corroded tank can't be patched. Turn off the water to it and call.
It's 10 Years Old or More
Check the label for the manufacture date. An older heater that needs a big repair is usually a replacement.
The Family Outgrew It
More people, more showers and more laundry than it was sized for.
Repairs Keep Stacking Up
When one fix follows another, the money is better spent on a new heater.
Our Water Heater Installation Process
A good install covers the heater, the venting, the gas or electric and the water lines:
1. Pick the Right Size
We look at your household and your hot water habits, then recommend a size and type.
2. One Flat Price
Heater and install, one price, before any work.
3. Install to Today's Code
Old heater out, new one in, with the venting, gas or electric and water connections current code requires.
4. Test and Show You
We test it, show you the shutoffs and settings, and leave the area clean.
Installing Water Heaters in Tinley Park Homes
About 8 in 10 Tinley Park homes went up between 1970 and 2009. Most have room for a straightforward swap, with a few things worth planning for.
Matching the Venting
A heater from the 1990s may vent differently than today's models. If the new one needs a different vent or a power-vent unit, we tell you before install day.
Sizing for a Busy House
If showers run cold by the third person, a bigger tank or a tankless unit may make more sense than a straight swap.
Expansion Tanks and Shutoffs
Today's installs often need an expansion tank and good shutoff valves. We check both and replace what won't hold.
