How Do I Know if I Have the Right Size Water Heater?

It is vital to know not only how many gallons your water heater will hold, but the exterior dimensions as well. Both the capacity and height will affect how much your water heater will ultimately cost. Tom’s Plumbing of Elgin, IL wants you to choose the unit that is best for you.

To determine the size of the water heater, look for a sticker on the side. It should have the serial number and other information including the gallon capacity listed. This is the capacity of your water heater. You need to determine if you need a short or a tall sized water heater.

Thank You Battery Backup!

You may be saying that very thing about your Elgin area home’s sump pump. Simply put, a battery backup sump pump does the job of your regular sump pump when there is no power in the house to operate the primary one. Tom’s Plumbing will install that battery backup sump pump in your Elgin home or office.

These are just some of the events that can occur around here –

1.  In the event of flooding it is common for there to be a power shortage.

2.  What if the main pump fails and you don’t know it right away?

3.  The main pump is not able to keep up with heavy rain (see our last blog).

There is just too much at stake NOT to have a battery backup sump pump! If you live in the far Northwest Suburbs of Chicagoland flooding can take place without much warning. Call Tom’s Plumbing of Elgin to have a battery powered backup sump pump installed. As always, our number is (847) 697-6444 and our website is found at tomsplumbingservice.com.
