Shopping for a Water Heater.

Is it time to replace that old water heater?  If it is you have two distinct choices…standard and tankless.  AquaTech Plumbing serving the western suburbs of Chicago wants you to be educated as to the choices involved.  A water heater is something that you will live with for many years to come and you need to make the right decision for your home and lifestyle.

If you choose a standard water heater you want something that lasts a long time and is less susceptible to leaking and rupturing.  A big tank water heater that stores 40 to 60 gallons of hot water at a time will keep your showers, laundry, and other hot water needs properly satisfied for quite some time.  Modern tanks reheat additional supply quite quickly as well, so you'll likely never run out of hot water when you need it.

With a tankless water heater you are spending more upfront, but your back-end savings will more than make up for it.  Tankless systems provide that hot water on demand, instantaneously, when you need it, so you don't have to waste energy heating unused water.  And finally, a typical tank water heater is supposed to last 10 to 13 years, tankless water heaters are estimated to last up to 20 years.

If you live in the Naperville-Plainfield-Aurora, Geneva, Batavia, St. Charles, or Wheaton, Winfield, Warrenville, Glen Ellyn area - AquaTech IS your neighborhood plumber.  To discover the complete story on the right water heater for your needs give us a call today at 630-416-3555, 630-377-9555, or 630-462-3555.

Transition Your Plumbing From The Harsh Winter To The Spring And Summer Months

Spring is in the air. The weather is warming and the birds are chirping. We deserve it Chicago! 

Now it is necessary to transition your home from that awful winter to the spring and summer months. During the winter, leaves, debris, mud etc. got caked in your rain gutters, pipes and more.

So, what can you do to ready your home for spring? AquaTech plumbing serving the far western suburbs of Chicagoland will do a thorough examination to make sure that all of your plumbing needs inside and out are working efficiently and are ready for the change of season.

Old Man Winter probably played havoc with your sprinkler system.  Dead foliage has found its way into your water system and intends on building its own mini lock and dam.  All of that sediment and debris needs to be removed in order for your home’s plumbing to run properly. Evidence of a clog in the trap is when all of your toilets make a gurgling noise. When the pressure is low and when water returns to the tub even after you’ve drained it.

If you live in the Naperville-Plainfield-Aurora, Geneva, Batavia, St. Charles, or Wheaton, Winfield, Warrenville, Glen Ellyn area - AquaTech IS your neighborhood plumber.  For all of your plumbing needs both residential and commercial. Give us a call today at 630-416-3555, 630-377-9555, or 630-462-3555.
