Water Heaters in Chicago, Illinois
Keeping You Warm
Although most new water heaters have a shorter life expectancy than they
did 30 years ago, they have maintained a relatively low cost. Thirty years
ago the average life of a water heater was probably 15 - 20 years. Today a
tank will probably spring a leak in 8 - 12 years. At
A Custom Heating
and Air Conditioning, we have attempted to insure that we have a
range of water heaters to fit our customers needs. For example you can make
your water heater decision based upon price or quality. Buy a cheap water
heater with a limited life expectancy if tank cost is your priority. Buy a
top of the line water heater if the water heater is in a location that will
cause water damage to floors, carpets, ceilings below etc.
The truth about warrantees : Water
heater manufacturers warrant tank replacement only. If the tank is defective
and leaks in 18 months you have to pay a plumber (or do it yourself) to
disconnect the heater and haul it down to the wholesaler or retailer and
exchange it for a new one (then re-install it). Warrantees typically are
also prorated depending upon how long it lasted compared to the warrantee.
If you have a 10 year limited warrantee and it fails on the 9th year you get
a 10% credit on the tank cost only towards a new heater. Would you really
want to buy another heater from that company if you thought they should give
you a new one?

are, from installation to service, please feel free to contact
