Chicago Water Heater Repair Experts

Citywide "Your Chicago water heater repair experts"

Most homes have a 40-gallon, or a 50-gallon water heater. Larger tanks are generally used in homes that have a hot tub, or with serious hot water demands. We generally recommend swapping an existing tank with an equally-sized new one, but if you consistently run out of hot water, you might consider upgrading to a larger tank.
Do you have a gas water heater or an electric water heater?
Our experienced service technicians will walk you through all the details of your water heater repair or installation. Before we start any work, we will go over an item-by-item checklist of any additional costs for parts and labor to bring the water heater up to code.

Water Heater Sizes

Water heaters most typically come in the following sizes:

• 40-gallon water heater
• 50-gallon water heater
• 66-gallon water heater
• 75-gallon water heater
• 80-gallon water heater
• 120-gallon water heater

Efficiency Rating

Efficiency rating is a measure of the percentage of heat transfer from the energy source to your water. Standard electric tanks range from 88-95% efficiency while standard gas tanks range from 55-65% efficiency. Electric tanks allow for higher energy transfer because they heat your water with heating elements that are submerged in the water, while gas fired tanks are heated from below through a gas burner.
Despite higher efficiency ratings, electric tanks are more expensive to operate as the cost of electricity is higher than the cost of gas to heat your water. So, while heat transfer is more efficient in electric tanks, this does not mean your overall energy usage is less in an electric water heater. Because of this, many utility companies and local governments encourage residents to use gas heating if choosing between the two.
Regardless, the higher the efficiency rating of your tank, the less energy is wasted in heating the water.

Recovery Rate

Recovery rate is the amount of hot water your tank can produce in the space of one hour assuming a 90° F increase in water temperature. Electric tanks produce approximately 20-22 gallons of hot water in an hour while gas tanks produce 30-40 gallons in an hour.

First Hour Rating

First hour rating is simply the amount of hot water your tank can produce in one hour of continuous usage and is a function of the gallon capacity and the recovery rate. 50-gallon gas tanks will typically have a first hour rating in the range of 70-80 gallons; 50-gallon electric tanks will typically have a first hour rating around 60-gallons.

Is a Permit Required?

Most locations where we operate, a permit is required to replace your water heater. There are some plumbers that are willing to replace your water heater without processing a permit. Most all water heaters eventually leak and the average cost of damage is $4500. If you install your water heater without a permit, your insurer can deny the claim.
There are multiple potential safety issues:  fire, carbon monoxide and pressure that can result from an improperly installed water heater.
Citywide strongly recommends that both for your safety and to protect your home from property damage that you only deal with licensed HVAC contractors that recommend permitting the installation.
