Highland Park Water Heaters
We install both traditional and tankless water heaters in the Lake Michigan region. Each version has its own benefits, so we’ll discuss your family’s needs before recommending a model. After a water heater installation, you can count on us for repairs and maintenance.
These are a few of the benefits of water heater replacement:
- Increased efficiency
- Fewer repairs
- Lower energy bills
- More hot water
- Quieter operation
- Access to smart technology
- Higher property value
Older houses near Chicago typically have a water heater with a storage tank. When water enters the tank, a flame or heating element warms it up and stores it for future use. If you have a ready supply, you can use hot water immediately. However, if someone uses all the hot water for their shower, you’ll have to wait for water in the tank to reheat.
Traditional heaters require a large amount of space and use more energy because they continuously heat your water. However, they generate enough water for your entire household. Typically, these models last about a decade and require occasional water heater repair.
Tankless water heaters don’t store water. Instead, our team will attach them directly to your plumbing. When you need hot water, this device heats the water before it reaches your appliance or exits the faucet. This saves energy because you’re not continuously heating a storage tank.
These heaters are more compact than traditional models, but they’re typically more expensive to install. They last about 20 years with occasional tankless water heater repair and maintenance. Since they only heat one appliance at a time, large households might need multiple heaters, which drives up the cost.
Whatever the case, upgrading your system improves your efficiency, reduces repair costs, and eliminates contamination from rust and corrosion. Newer models utilize smart technology that allows you to control your heater from your smartphone and receive energy reports. If you buy a traditional heater, you can program it to heat your water only when necessary.
