How is your Home’s Boiler?

As we near the winter months in far Northwest Chicagoland, those who have lived here for more than one change of season know how cold it can get. If you live in a home with a boiler that was installed a dozen years ago or so you may be in for a rude awakening one winter morning. Tom’s Plumbing of Elgin wants to help you avoid that!

Here are some warning signs of a waning boiler –

 

1.   Look for leaks on the floor around it.

2.  You have trouble keeping the pilot light lit.

3.  The thermostat is not working the way it used to.

4.  You begin hearing strange noises when your boiler is operating.

Most of these problems and others are fairly apparent. What may NOT be so obvious, is the best choice for boiler repair or replacement in the Elgin area. The answer is Tom’s Plumbing of Elgin. They have specialized in boilers and radiators for decades. See the plumbing and related services they offer at tomsplumbingservice.com, then call (847) 697-6444.

Why Go Tankless?

Did you know that in homes using about 40 gallons or less of hot water daily, tankless water heaters can be about a third more energy efficient than conventional storage tank water heaters?

Tom’s Plumbing has stood behind this American-made product for many years and thinks you will find it more durable and compatible. It accommodates gas, oil, and electric propane. A tankless water heater made by Bradford White and installed by Tom’s Plumbing in your Elgin area home is something you probably won’t have to think about until the 2040’s!
