Traditional water heaters, also called hot water tanks, come in a variety of sizes and are either gas or electric powered. The most common size water heater is a 50 gallon tank. If you have made improvements to your home such as upgrading to a large soaking bath, you may be interested in upsizing your current water heater. This typically involves
increasing the size of the vent on gas water heaters due to the large amount of carbon monoxide that large tanks release.

As part of our installation procedure, we will inspect your heater to make sure it’s up to date on all important safety codes.

Geneva, IL Tankless Hot Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters are more energy efficient than traditional tanks because they heat water as it is used rather than heating and reheating water in a storage tank. The water heater efficiency is a measurement of heat transfer from the energy source to your hot water. The highest efficiency of the traditional unit is about 62%. Tankless water heaters operate at 80% energy efficiency. By switching to a tankless unit, you will be able to save between 30-60% on your water heating energy costs, assuming your water usage habits remain the same. So go tankless and save!

Because tankless water heater heats on demand, you will never run out of hot water. Wouldn’t that be great? With tankless hot water heaters you will be able to run multiple showers, operate a dishwasher and do laundry all at the same time. It’s an ideal solution for many of our Geneva, IL customers with large families!

We also specialize in point of use hot water heater repair and installation as well. Point of use water heaters are small units installed under the sink. It’s ideal for applications where there is no easy access to a hot water source.
