Pay Attention to your Boiler.

As the seasons change in Suburban Chicagoland, remember that hard-working boiler in your home.  We don’t give much thought to our central heating system. We always expect it to work, pumping out a continuous supply of heating and hot water. If something develops, a broken boiler can cause untold headaches, throwing our homes into chaos.

Here are some common boiler problems –

1.  The hot water stops being hot.

2.  Leaking or consistent dripping.

3.  Unusual gurgling or banging noises.

4.  The pilot light goes out.

5.  Pressure is reduced.

There are others, but if one of these is evident in your boiler you probably already have problems.  Problem solved!  If you live in Elgin, Bartlett, Streamwood, and the surrounding area of the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago call the boiler repair and replacement experts at Tom’s Plumbing Inc.  That number is (847) 697-6444.

Drip, Drip, Drip.

You have been putting it off for months.  You know that your water heater needs to be repaired or replaced, but you don’t want to face the reality.  Now that small drip has turned into a puddle.  Soon, it will be an all-out gusher if you continue to ignore the problem.  With summer on its way, it is time to address that leaky water heater.

What is the “shelf-life” of the average water heater?  Well, let’s put it this way, if it has been more than a decade since you had this one installed - then it is probably time.  In replacing a natural gas water heater or a propane one the steps are essentially the same.  Have you considered going tankless?  Not topless…TANKLESS!

These are decisions that should be made with the advice of a professional.  In the Elgin area, that has been, is, and will be Tom’s Plumbing Service.  Mike and his crew are the Northwest Suburban water heater repair and replacement experts.  Don’t wait another day.  Pick up the phone and call (847) 697-6444.
