How do I know if I need a water heater repair or a full replacement?

If your unit is less than ten years old and the issue is minor — like a worn heating element or sediment buildup — repair might be the way to go. But if you’ve got corrosion, leaks around the tank, or your heater can’t keep up anymore, a full water heater replacement usually makes more sense.

What should I expect during a water heater installation?

We’ll start by walking you through your options to figure out what fits best in your home. On installation day, our crew will handle the removal of the old unit (if needed), bring in the new one, set everything up, and test it before leaving.

What can cause a hot water tank to leak?

Leaks can come from several places — valves, fittings, or corrosion in the tank. If you see water pooling around your unit, shut off the supply and call us for assistance. A leaking tank won’t fix itself, and waiting can cause water damage to your flooring or basement.

Why is my water heater making a popping noise?

If your water heater is making a popping noise, there isn’t an effective way to stop it except by replacing the unit.

My hot water runs out fast — what’s the problem?

That’s usually a sign the tank isn’t big enough or that something’s off with the thermostat or heating element. We’ll check it all and recommend a fix that fits your home.

What does a typical water heater installation cost in McHenry and Lake County, IL?

Installation costs vary depending on the size of the unit and what kind of fuel it uses. Are you ready for a hot water tank installation? We’ll give you a quote upfront.
