A Standard Water Heater for Your West Suburban Chicagoland Home.

Earlier this month AquaTech Plumbing, serving the Naperville-Aurora area, discussed the virtues of a tankless water heater.  Let’s face it, most of us will do perfectly well with a standard water heater.  However, you must choose the correct one and have it installed by professionals such as AquaTech.

Have you heard the name Bradford White?  Bradford White water heaters last longer. They are less susceptible to leaking and rupturing because they are made from mined ore in America rather than imported scrap metal containing small flecks of rust and particles.  A fact such as that would escape even the more educated home owner, but it is not lost on the professionals at AquaTech.  You will be much happier with the staying power of your water heater installed by AquaTech Plumbing and will have to replace it less frequently.

Isn’t it nice to have one less thing to think about concerning your home’s efficiency and safety?  This is the perfect time of year to address that old water heater.  Call AquaTech today if you live in Naperville, Lisle, Plainfield, Aurora, Geneva, Batavia, St. Charles, Wheaton, Winfield, Warrenville, or Glen Ellyn about your water heater or any other plumbing need at 630-416-3555, 630-898-3444, 630-377-9555, or 630-462-3555.

A Tankless Water Heater is Not Only Economical, But Good for the Environment as Well.

You probably don't think about your water heater until a cold shower suggests you need a new one. How do you  choose? Storage tanks cost less but tankless heaters save energy by only heating the water you draw. Hybrid electric/heat-pump models and solar water heaters are two newer options.

Before you shell out thousands for a tankless or solar model, see whether your old water heater can be fixed. A corroded storage-tank model is history. But a leaky drain or pressure-relief valve or a burned-out heating element can often be fixed. Rule of thumb: Consider a repair if the labor cost (which warranties often exclude) averages less than $50 per year over the years left in the warranty. Otherwise, buy a new one, especially if the warranty has run out.

Consumer Reports tests through winter snow and summer heat also show that what you save with solar and tankless systems can vary significantly based on which one you buy and where you live. They also tested an add-on heat pump that, because of high maintenance, costs far more than its low price suggests.
