Water Heater Service Basics

Our company offers a full range of plumbing services for Chicago-area households. There are three core aspects of our water heater services: maintenance, repair, and installation. Annual tune-ups will help maximize your investment in water heating. Our plumbers handle repairs for all brands and models. Our installation services include replacements and full conversions.

Watch for these signs that you may need water heater service:
  • Slow to heat water
  • Rising energy bills
  • Low hot water pressure
  • Reduced hot water volume
  • Discolored or smelly hot water

Repair vs. Replacement Guidance

A challenge homeowners often face is whether to repair or replace their water heaters. Our team will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your system and give you honest, professional recommendations. We’ll never try to sell you equipment you don’t need.

Some of the factors we’ll help you consider include:
  • Budget
  • Initial costs
  • Hot water needs
  • Energy incentives
  • Long-term savings

Tankless vs. Tank Water Heaters

Most Chicago homes already have the infrastructure for a traditional tank water heater. Switching to a tankless water heater may require some changes to that setup. That added time and expense can be well worth it over the many years to come.

A tankless water heater can provide many benefits:
  • Reduced energy bills
  • Higher property value
  • Virtually unlimited hot water
  • Smaller household carbon footprint

Emergency & Same-Day Service

When your water heater fails during the middle of an Illinois winter, you can’t wait. That’s why we offer same-day appointments and have plumbers on call 24/7, including on weekends and during holidays.

Some of the water-heater-related emergencies we deal with include:
  • No hot water
  • Leaking tanks
  • Frozen and burst pipes

Water Heater Replacement Services

Our team can perform a direct replacement of your existing water heater. If your household size has changed, we can calculate the tank size required now. Our company offers a wide selection of top-rated models from the leading brands. In addition to tank size, we can help you explore energy incentives, safety mechanisms, smart features, and much more.

Tankless Water Heater Installation

Are you looking to make the switch to a tankless water heater? Our team handles all manner of conversions and upgrades. We can upgrade tank water heaters to tankless models with recirculating pumps and compact storage tanks.

Water Heater Repair

You can rely on our plumbers for all types of water heater repair. From simple repairs, like replacing bad valves and recalibrating thermostats, to more complex repairs, such as replacing cracked heat exchangers and troubleshooting and fixing backdraft scenarios in exhaust systems, you can count on us to get your water heater working again.

Preventative Maintenance Plans

A common mistake Chicagoans make is not scheduling water heater service until there is a problem. A proactive approach will save you money and extend the life of your equipment. Traditional tank water heaters require regular flushing and anode rod replacement. On-demand water heaters need periodic descaling and filter replacement. Both system types also need their insulation replaced once it begins to degrade.

We encourage our customers to take advantage of our Goode VIP membership plan. Membership includes annual water heater maintenance. The cost of membership includes an annual comprehensive home plumbing evaluation, including a camera inspection. It also includes annual sump pump or ejector pump maintenance. At no additional charge, we’ll waive all dispatch and emergency fees and provide VIP pricing on select services.

Schedule Trusted Local Service

You can schedule appointments with us by phone or online through our website. Be sure to check our site for our current coupons and other promotions. We provide same-day appointments for urgent water heater issues, and you can reach us 24/7 for emergencies. For installations and replacements, we offer financing on approved credit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to a handful of the most common questions we receive about water heaters in Chicago. Contact us with any additional ones you might have.

The average lifespan of a tank water heater in Chicago is eight to 12 years. Traditional water heaters can last upward of 15 years and sometimes even longer with proper maintenance. That includes flushing the tank regularly and replacing the insulation and sacrificial anode rod as needed.
The average water heater tank size is between 40 and 50 gallons. We offer smaller tank sizes for individuals and couples, and much larger tank sizes for big households and multifamily residences. Our team can achieve an accurate size through a custom load calculation. We’ll account for the number of residents, baths, and water-using appliances.
Whether you need a permit for new water heaters in Chicago depends on the location and the nature of the installation. The city often does not require permits for in-kind replacements of water heaters in residential buildings up to the fourth story. The term “in-kind” refers to direct replacements, such as replacing an old gas water heater with a new gas water heater. You will need a permit, for instance, if converting from gas to electric or from tank to tankless, but our team will handle that process for you.
The typical conversion from a tank water heater to an on-demand system takes six to 10 hours. We complete the majority of tankless water heater installations in a single day. Installations that take longer than a day generally involve major upgrades and/or conversions.
An important consideration is the age of your system, as it’s often worth repairing a unit that’s younger than eight years. We will generally recommend a repair regardless of age if the manufacturer’s warranty covers all or most of it. For smaller repairs, it comes down to the frequency of those minor repairs and whether we can restore the system’s efficiency. Signs you may just need a repair include bad valves, worn insulation, and smelly hot water.

The city turned off the water for several hours and once it was turned back on, debris from the pipes interfered with the water flow. In one of my toilets, the tank wasn’t refilling at all. Danny from Goode Plumbing did an excellent (and very fast) job in replacing the part. The toilet now works better…
