Have you Considered Tankless?

Replacing your ailing water heater with a tankless model is a valuable upgrade for any home in the Elgin, Bartlett, Streamwood, and Dundee area or anywhere around Chicagoland. These units last longer, use less energy, offer endless hot water and can reduce utility bills. That is only the beginning.

Here are some of the previously stated reasons expanded upon –

1. Energy efficiency…tankless water heaters heat up water ONLY when it is needed.
2. Lower utility bills…the average household in Elgin can save hundreds of $$$ yearly.
3. Extended life…on average, they have a shelf-life that is over ten years longer.
4. Endless hot water…who on earth does not appreciate that!
5. Space saving…many units are less than half the size of traditional water heaters.

Think of the old adage…pay a little now and save a lot later. If the demise of your current water heater is imminent maybe it is time to consider going tankless. Call Tom’s Plumbing to discuss your options. They have been the home and business owner’s plumbing choice in The Far Northwest Chicago Suburbs for decades. Just call (847) 697-6444. 

It’s Like a Cold Shower.

That is an expression that means a rude awakening.  In your home it could be a reality.  Want to put yourself in a bad mood to start the day?  One of the worst ways is trying to get ready for work and getting a cold shower because someone else used all the hot water.  It takes a good amount of time for the tank to fill back up, turn on the burner, and heat the water.

The reasons that people who live in the Northwest Suburbs are switching to tankless are endless hot water (Ahhh!), additional storage space, and lower energy bills.  That’s right, The US Department of Energy estimates that gas-fired tankless water heaters save an average of $108 per year over their traditional tank counterparts.
